21 Reasons Turning 21 Is Life Changing

Turning 21 is a monumental milestone in every college student's life. A whole new array of possibilities is now upon you such as bar nights and happy hour. Instead of ordering your traditional water or soft drink, you may now ask for the beer and cocktail menu. Say goodbye to frats in favor of dance floors at bars. You can now experiment with a wide variety of liquors at bars. My personal favorite is a mojito with lime but there's so much out there I have still yet to try. If alcohol isn't your thing, you can now make hotel reservations and even rent a car.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
