The Struggle Of Being The Last Friend To Turn 21

You are not alone.

The Struggle Of Being The Last Friend To Turn 21

1. Your night ends way earlier than expected.

All you want to do is catch a late night movie with your friends, but they are too cool for that now.

2. You try convincing yourself that Netflix & chill is much more fun than a night out with friends.

After watching an entire season of "Revenge" on Netflix in one night, it's time to reevaluate your life.

3. When you have to ask your friends to supply the juice and they respond like this:

Let's be real, when your friends turn 21, they feel much older than you. At least you can stay young and hip for a few more months.

4. When you order water at a restaurant, while everyone sips on a Margarita.

It's fine, you didn't want the extra calories anyway.

5. But you are WAY more mature than your friends, so why can't you have a drink?

6. FOMO, or "fear of missing out," is the worst and there is nothing you can do about it.

Listening to your friends talking about all of the cuties they saw downtown and you talk about what just happened on the latest episode of "Scandal."

7. You start asking your parents why you were born so late.

Why is your birthday months after all of your friends'? Please explain how this happened.

8. And then cry when they try to explain.

9. Your birthday seems so far away, even when you have a countdown on your phone.

Let's be honest: The more you think about it, the more it sucks.

10. But when you finally turn 21, it's going to be the best night of your life.

The best part of being the last one to turn 21: All of your friends can participate in the celebration of you turning into an adult and making horrible decisions during the last year of college.

For all of the ladies going through this struggle, you are not alone. Stay strong and you will overcome this great struggle.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
