If you're the youngest of your friend group, you understand the constant feeling of always playing catch-up. Since freshman year your friends have been growing up and doing cool things, that you cant experience yet. You've been counting down the days now until you can finally join them for a night out at the bars, instead of listening to them make plans in the group message that you can't even contribute to.

Instagram and Twitter make sure you never miss out on all the fun your legal friends are having without you at the bar.
But just going out to dinner with them is fun too.
"Just a water, please."
But at the end of day, you know your time will come and all of your friends will be 21 and have no excuse to come celebrate with you.
And it is well worth the wait because you can all be there together.
