I Love Being 21 Not For The Alcohol But For The Fun

Okay, maybe the alcohol too.

I Love Being 21 Not For The Alcohol But For The Fun

There is so much hype about being 21, mainly for the reason that you are now legal to drink alcohol. I will admit I was one of those girls who was super excited to be 21, and not just to be able to legally drink. Here are some reasons why I love being twenty one that are not all related to consuming alcohol.

1. Going out with friends.

Being legal to drink allows you to get into so many more places and gives you so many more options for things to do with your friends. You can find so many cool, chill and fun hangout spots because you can get in anywhere when you are over the age of 21, and quite frankly a lot of bars are chill places to hang out. It widens your options of place for you and your friends to adventure around and find your new favorite spot.

2. Great way to socialize.

Going out on a Friday night with your girlfriends becomes a lot more fun when you are surrounded by other people your age who are there for the same thing, to just hang out and socialize with friends and maybe even meet new, cool people. Going out allows you to meet more people who enjoy doing the same things that you do, within your age range if you choose the right type of places you go out to.

3. Dancing.

One of the major reasons that I love being able to go out, is to put my dancing shoes on. If there is good music, you know that I am down to have a good time and ready to hit the dance floor. It is so much fun to let loose and have a good time and dance out all the stress that life throws your way.

4. Let loose.

Going out with your friends just allows you to have fun and let loose. You can socialize with people your age and laugh and have a good time with your friends and forget about your responsibilities for a little while.

5. Fun Drinks.

Okay, yes, it can be fun to experiment with new drinks and trying different cocktails. You have to know your tolerance and how much alcohol you can handle. Drink responsibly and do not do anything that you are going to regret later.

Some people may think that you are an alcoholic if you like to go out often, but that is not the case. If you like to go out often, that just means that you like to have fun and spend time with your friends. It means that you are not so uptight and serious about life all the time.

Yes, being 21 is fun and yes, you are legal to drink, but drinking is hardly the fun part. Going out and having a good time with your friends is what makes being 21 so great.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
