Being 21 is so close I can almost taste the expensive beer at the bar.

Now that you have reached 20, all you can think about is what 21 will be like. Here are some thoughts all people who are close to 21 will probably have.

I’m counting down the days.

Once people hit 20 all they can think about next is turning 21. There really isn't anything special about being 20 it's just another age where we are teased by the drinking age. Those 20 year olds are beginning their count down right as they turn 20. They know the time down to the seconds, and constantly talk about it with their friends because they are so giddy with excitement.

My 21 run is gonna be awesome.

Everyone is so excited for their 21 run, and all they can talk about is how awesome it's going to be. This birthday is finally the time when you can go to a bar legally and get hammered without it being embarrassing. It is also the time of the year when you go out and people expect you to get trashed, and if you don't, people question if you even did the 21 run correctly. Also, this is every college students favorite birthday because they don't pay for drinks the whole night. They have amazing friends who empty their pockets in hopes that their friend will reach the sacred 21 shots in a night without going to the hospital.

I’m so bored why can’t I be 21 yet.

When you're 20 it seems like their is nothing to do ever because all the places you want to go require you to be 21. The night life is different because you are no longer content with staying at home or finding a sober way to spend an evening. Continuously, it seems like cities make it impossible for people under 21 to go out and enjoy the night. All that is open in the city are 21 and up clubs and bars that make us envy and despise those who can go to them. There is an aspect of being legal that appeals so much to people because it allows so many options. You have the ability to say no I don't want to go to the club tonight, but when you're under 21 all you want is to go out.

I’m going to spend so much money at the bars.

The only downside, or possibly upside if you look at it like that, is that I will probably spend too much at the bars. Bars are expensive. It's an unfortunate fact that college students and recent enthused 21ers have to endure. The pubs know they are expensive because they know we will pay it, and they are right. In my eyes being 21 is when I am fully grown up, and a bar completely fills that grown up void, but that still doesn't mean I'll be satisfied probably spending two dollars on a glass of water and like 16 dollars for two beers.

The bar scene is so much fun and better than parties.

For those who are 20 when we overhear someone who is 21 one of the first questions that will probably come out of our desperate mouth is, what is the bar scene like. And every response is that it is great, which only makes me envy them more. People say it is a great time to hangout with your friends and it's not too crazy like parties are. While parties will be fun even when 21, the bars seem like a more popular place for 21ers to go, maybe it's a maturity thing. But, going to a bar just seems like fun, Once you hit 20 going to any other place that just serves drinks seems like a waste of time. Sorry I don't want to go sit at a juice bar and drink organic spinach mashed with kale.

Is it going to be weird now that I don’t have to sneak alcohol around?

For so long kids have been sneaking beer or alcohol from their parents or having someone buy it for them. But once they get that holy grail of plastic that lets them get drunk legally its the best feeling. However, what if it feels weird? I imagine at first I'll still have to act like I'm 21 just so the police don't suspect and then five minutes later realize I am 21 and it doesn't matter anymore.

Now I can buy alcohol whenever I want.

This is going to be one of the weirdest feelings too because now people under 21 don't have to ask and plan for someone to get them alcohol, they can easily just get it themselves, The freedom to get a 12 pack on a Tuesday afternoon, while potentially sad, is also very possible.

I’m gonna buy less crappy beer

This thought is definitely a hopeful thought, as if turning 21 money will magically fall from the sky and into your pockets. No. Remember, we are still in college, and we are still poor students. The probability that you will still buy Keystone Light (water) is an asymptote to a 100 percent, until you realize you need a job.

Oh crap! everyone is going to ask me to buy alcohol for them.

Yep! Now it's your turn to enable those young college kids to drink. I'm predicting that I will most likely be asked four times a week,if I'm lucky. And all four of those times will be random and request the beer, "now", instead of giving me a heads up first.

For all who aren't 21 yet keep wishing to be 21 and have fun now before everyone comes to you to buy alcohol.
