What Happens When You Finally Turn 21
hsamuel.co

And it's just around the corner. In just a few short days, I will finally be turning 21. I've been counting down the days for a fun night out with my friends! Here are some of my thoughts on what turning 21 will be like!

You can go out with all your friends

I don't know who this one applies to, but the majority of my friends at college are already 21. I'm considered the baby, so instead of staying in all alone I'll finally be able to go out to the bars with them! Woo hoo!

Learning about all the different drinks you can get

You've heard about the million different beers all the brewery's have to offer. You know all the different flavored margaritas. And now is your time to experiment! Trying different drinks and different combinations is an exciting part to turning 21!

People looking at you as an adult now

Turning 18 may make you an official adult, but in my opinion, it seems as though most people won't see you as an adult until you're 21. For some reason to ability to drink legally allows people to see you as a different person.

Even if you're hungover, you're still ready to go out again

So your first night of turning 21 may have gone as expected, but you're up and ready to go for the next night!

Feeling classy drinking wine

Whenever I see people drinking wine, I atomically see them as being classy people. Now, you can buy yourself a classy looking wine glass, probably a cheap bottle of some white wine, and pour yourself a nice glass.

Simply getting ready for the celebration

It's time to celebrate! Turning 21 is exciting so that means having as much fun as you can!

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
