When you are 19 years old you can not get into Mardi Gras ball. I will tell you what you can do, you can get into a hot dress. Every night this week they are having Mardi Gras balls in Mobile, Ala., which is about 50 miles from where I live. These balls are huge, flashy and fun, the only thing is I can not get in. When you are 19-years-old you fall in that awkward age range. You're over 18 but you aren't 21 yet. And if you're like me, a lot of your friends are older than you (and also over 21). When you have friends that are older than you, most of the time you are the only one who gets left out. Well not this time, not if I could help it.
I have been sitting at home all week scrolling through my social media looking at everyone having a great time at the ball. I do not know if you caught the part where I said I was sitting at home… SITTING AT HOME. Anyways, back to the story. When Thursday came around I decided I was not sitting at home any longer so I called up a friend of mine (who is the same age.. young) and I asked her if she wanted to go downtown Mobile. Of course, her being young like me she was ready to go! I had come up with a good plan.
If I could not go to the ball I could, at least, get dressed, do my hair, makeup, and I could pretend I went to the ball. Okay, now you think I am crazy. Okay! Okay! Maybe I am just a little crazy. Aren't all girls a little crazy? So eight pm rolls around and I have covered my eyes in sparkles, I have curled my hair and put my dress on. I drive to Mobile, Al and I pick my friend up from her house and we head downtown. I felt like a princess all night. Even though we did not go to the Mardi Gras ball we both still felt amazing about ourselves. Moral of the story is being 19 during Mardi Gras is no fun unless you are a little crazy and have a good imagination.
Oh and Hey! Happy Pardi Gras everyone!
