Hi Loves!

As I sit down to write this post, I realize that my 21st birthday was only three years ago. I don't know why but it seems like so much more time has passed since then. Time flies when you're having fun.. and time crawls when you're a grown up at work.

Some background info on my little 21 year old self.. I was a senior in my last semester of college at this point. I was literally THE LAST of my friends to turn 21. Since that was basically the worst, I had a fake ID and I had been hitting up the bars for almost a year. So my 21st was kind of lame because I had already been going out to the bars and people were kind of like oh you weren't 21?

Moving on..

My 21st birthday fell on a Saturday during football season, so on Friday I got dressed up and went to dinner at my favorite restaurant with my best friends. After dinner, my friends told me that they had a surprise and I when we arrived to their place they had decorated it and bought a cake and champagne. The best friends ever. Really though.


Since I didn't turn 21 until midnight, we all hung around drinking champagne and taking pictures before it was time to walk to "The Strip" aka the street where the bars are.



Between 12am and 2am when the bars closed we wondered around and people bought me shots and it was lots of fun! I wore these really cute shoes but they were impossible to walk in so that was dumb on my part. I didn't fall though, for once!



Towards the end of the night, we went to a bar called Murphy's that had giant jello shots that were in syringes, so naturally I had to have one. Side note.. of all the places from college that I miss, Murphy's is at the top of the list. They had so much cool stuff, including frozen Jack and Coke for like $3. They also had a frozen drink of the week that came with an extra shot AND decorations that I always took out of my drink and put in my hair. Someone take me back!

Shortly after that it was time to take my drunk butt to bed! Sadly, because I had already been out to the bars and embarrassed myself many times before.. my 21st was pretty low key!

The next day I drank Four Loko (the real kind, you know before they realized it would kill people) and tailgated and then took a nap during the actual football game. I went out to the bars again on Saturday night but it was after a game day which means it was super crowded and everyone was hammered and annoying so I think I went home early. I know, I know what a buzzkill.


I just realized that this story isn't cool at all but rest assured I did act a fool many other times in college. One time I'll have to tell the story of my one and only trip to Austin, TX. Now that is a great story!

Alright, now it's your turn! Let's hear about your 21st birthdays..
