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

Being the last person in your friend group to turn 21 is one of the biggest struggles some of us face during our junior year of college. You go from having a huge group of friends to go out with every weekend, to having less and less as each “Twenty-Phyrst” Facebook invite pops up into your notifications. Whether you handle it by curling up on the couch to binge eat and watch Netflix, or by living it up at the frats while you still can, here are 12 struggles of being underage as perfectly described by the reality queen herself.

 

1. When all your friends are discussing which bar to go to tonight

 

2. When you pass Cafe on a nice, sunny day and see a table full of your friends

 

3. When you realize your 21st birthday is still month’s away 

 

4. When you’re sitting in class on Thursday knowing everyone is planning to go to the bars without you tonight

 

5. When all your friends are talking about the awesome time they had at Gaffeoke last night

 

6. When you still want everyone to think your life is fun and exciting

 

7. When your friends finally decide to go to a frat or apartment party with you instead of the bars for a night                                                           

 

8. When everyone leaves the 21st pregame to head to the Phryst and you just have to head home

 

9. When you’re waiting for your friends to come home from the bars to tell them all about your night                                                                         

 

10. When you finally meet up with all your friends at the end of the night to order Pokey Stix

 

11. When you realize how much money you are actually saving

 

12. But when your 21st birthday finally rolls around and you can’t contain your excitement

 

Don’t worry collegiettes, we feel your pain! You’ll get there eventually!
