Wait this is weird…are you sure I’m not going to get arrested?

1. Ordering that first legal drink with your actual I.D.

2. Actually being able to go into the liquor store

3. Feelings of nervousness as the bouncer check your I.D. as if it’s not yours

4. Getting denied even though it is your actual I.D.

5. Your check at restaurants increasing substantially…

6. Leaving a bar tab open at a bar

7. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

8. Trying to find your “go-to” drink

9. Not making it out on your 21st birthday

10. Not even looking (or sounding) 21 AT ALL

11. Being 21 and it not being all that it has hyped up to be 

12. Having to ALWAYS bring your I.D. EVERYWHERE

13. Or worse, losing your I.D.

14. Being old

15. Having to get drinks for your under 21 friends 

16. Getting kicked out of a bar for being too intoxicated

17. Becoming the person your 18 year old brother (and all his friends) goes to for alcohol now

18. Only 1 or 2 (hell yeah 5 year plan!) years left of college

19. Real world responsibilities just waiting around the corner

20. Like getting a job or should I say career

21. And paying bills….

So, for now just enjoy being the forever awaited 21 years old! (The classy and responsible version.)

**ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS drink responsibly and DO NOT drink and drive EVER!**

Miranda is a Senior at FSU pursuing a degree in Sports Management. Her interests mainly include sports, sports, and more sports although she was never the athlete (oops). Her love for sports balances out her girly ways. She can sit down and cheer on her favorite New York teams with just as much passion as buying a new top (on sale of course). She is absolutely obsessed with her puggle, scrolling Twitter, and sleeping in. She hopes to rule the sports world someday, own a baby elephant, live on the beach, and have a big family.
