The largest milestone a college kid looks forward to. It is the best birthday and in some ways, the beginning of officially being an adult. Turning 21-years-old... Ahh I've been waiting for the day since I "accidentally" dipped my pacifier in my grandma's Manhattan. Buh-bye fake IDs and hello bouncers because this girl is finally legal! Or- at least I will be in a few days. The excitement of turning 21-years-old is indescribable.
The days of having a fake ID are over.No more worrying about being rejected by a bouncer and no more fear of being kicked out of the bar. When you first received your fake ID, you felt like you were invincible but imagine actually being of age? Do you- because you officially don't have to be anyone else when you hit up the bar scene once your 21st birthday comes.
This is how turning 21 must feel like:
The party has begun! You won't be able to get me to a bar fast enough. Should I glue my REAL ID to my forehead? I swear, I am actually 21 this time!
You're in. You're 21 and you're in a bar ordering a drink. Play it cool. You're allowed to legally do this now...
And then it hits you. You're the sh*t. Big man on campus now, ordering your own drinks while using your own ID. Own the cockiness, you've been waiting long enough for this moment.
OK, you'll most likely regret this in the morning but who cares right now. Drunk you is taking over.
Chug! Chug! Chug!
And then, it all catches up to you. You feel like death- no wait, scratch that, you feel like you died, came back to life, to then die again. This hangover will be worse than all your previous ones combined.
You'll vow to never put your body through that torture again. Even thinking of alcohol will make you sick, until night falls of course because Hey! You're 21! Enjoy it!
