This weekend I turned 21 and now I can go anywhere I want to and all I have to do is show ID. That means I leave my sexy boyfriend at home while I go out and have a few drinks with the guys. It seems kind of strange to be able to go anywhere and do about anything... it almost takes the excitement out of drinking, because before I was 21 it was cool to sneak some drinks and such, but now it really doesn't matter. The next time I'm in a frat that gets busted I can just chill instead of having to scatter like all the others. Am I any wiser now that I am 21? Maybe a little, but age doesn't mean I'm a sage, but I do know how to be a responsible drinker. I guess I owe that to my parents, who brought me up saying that alcohol wasn't a bad thing, but you have to be responsible. They introduced me to alcohol in a controlled environment, so I wouldn't have to experiment in college and end up in the hospital or something. Anyways it was a weekend of new discoveries and insight, so I guess I am excited to be 21.
