An Under 21 Struggle

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at New Paltz chapter.

1. When you have to borrow an ID that looks nothing like you,

But its better than nothing… 

 

2. So you start to memorize the information anyway

If I was born in 1991, that means I’m…uhhh… 

3. Standing in line at the bar trying to stay confident

Fake it till you make it right?

 

4. But once you get to the front you become confident as sh*t

Thinking they can’t tell the difference

 

5. Then your friend tells you it’s the tough bouncer at the door

Now you’re screwed

 

6. And he asks for your zip code

But, you actually didn’t . . .

 

7. So you get denied

WHYYYYY?!?! 

8. And you decide to text a friend for help

 

9. You try 15 minutes later . . . again

 Acting like you weren’t just rejected 

 

 

10. And….. you finally get in!!!
