As we get older birthdays come and go every year. Currently, I am in that stage of life where we see landmark birthdays come and go so very often. These are the ones that we start out with profuse hangovers each day, eating tons of food, and spending time with all of our friends. However, your tastes and ideas may change as you mature. Instead of destroying back to back shots at the bar with your friends, you might just want to stay in and have some wine instead. Instead of a huge, elaborate meal with your family, you might just want to have a simple dinner together.

Overall I think these are the top four birthdays we experience in our college-aged years.

1. 20

Congrats! You officially beat teen pregnancy. That is the only thing you hear when you turn twenty as a good joke. No one really knows what to say otherwise.

2. 21

Here is the one we all get so excited for when we are nineteen and twenty. The big two-one. You can go out to bars and legally drink in public spaces! WOOHOO. Congrats. Most people spend their twenty first forgetting it. But hey, who says a mimosa or seven won't hurt you for one day, right?

3. 22

Get ready for a whole day of people singing one Taylor Swift song to you on never-ending repeat. Until you're drunk eating a cheeseburger at 2 am or Taco Bell. Whatever you really prefer.

4. 23

Well, you're a legal adult, finished or almost finished with school at this point. So I guess what Blink 182 says is true. "Nobody likes you when you're 23."

Then from there on out you just want your aging to stop. You are in the corporate world at that point. You are becoming successful and living your own life. You might be getting married, who knows?

All I can say is that once you get past these staple birthdays in your life, you'll be looking back and wishing you could do it all over again.
