The Big 2-1
By citizenkane 28 Comments
Well, I have turned the big 21 today! It doesn't affect me as much as other people here in the United States because I don't care much for alcohol(other than a few select drinks, I don't like the taste or the smell), but it's still a milestone nontheless(next stop: 25 when I can rent a car!). As far as what my plans are for today, I am going to a water park called Big Kahuna's in Destin for the afternoon with my family and friends, then going out to a nice dinner and topping it off with a movie night at my house(with the movie of my choice, which I haven't decided yet) while we endeavor in mass consumption of cake(the type of which is a surprise) and ice cream.
People often say that you feel different on milestone birthdays, but for the three milestones I have reach so far in my life(16 being able to drive, 18 no longer a minor, 21 able to legally drink), I have never felt any different than from the day before. Still though, it's awesome knowing that you are 21 years old and being able to say so. While you are legally an adult at 18 years of age, 21 is sort of the most accepted beginning of adulthood.
Anyways, here is to a great day and the next step of the rest of my life!
