You've guessed it, I'm finally 21!
Not a huge deal on my part as in Europe the drinking age is younger, but since I'm currently in California, I went to a few bars.
Being 21 years of age hasn't changed much for the few days I've been 21, but I can say that I did have a pleasant time, enjoying the night with one of my roommates. Drinks and fries, a few exchange with some people, and the night came to an end.
Someone who is 21 years of age is excited about finally drinking in bars, clubbing but half of these people didn't have any advice from their close friends or family members. I was part of the lucky ones, my dear friends as my close family has been telling me a few bits of advice over the years making it easier for me when I finally entered adulthood (in America).
I thought I would share a few of them with you especially if you are going to be 21 years old soon.
I. "Don't waste your precious time trying to get someone to like you! You can't be liked by everyone."
II. "Do yourself a favour and be yourself- forget about other's opinion."
III. "Have a passion, go find something free to do, especially if you live in a big city like Los Angeles or New York."
IV. "Take your time on your education, why rushing into the adult world."
V. "Go find yourself a real, nice man instead of chasing immature, bad boys."
VI. " Don't worry too much about money just yet, you have some time to get your saving up and running."
VII. "No future plans? Please. Live a little."
VIII. "Stop judging your life, compare it to other's and make yourself feel horrible for not having the same progress. It's your own journey!"
IX. "You are still young, stop pretending like you've got it all under control."
X." Bars are nice but don't think you have to go spend money every night. You have your entire life to do so."
Being 21 years of age didn't make much change on my part, but it does to a lot of people. For many it means you are entering adulthood, you finally able to run around town at whatever hour of the night, you are allowed in clubs, bars, get drinks without worrying about being caught. Sure, it does has its perks, but don't over exaggerate; you have your entire life ahead of you to get crazy being an adult! Enjoy the last couple of years you have to be a grown person with tons of responsibilities.
Here comes the next chapter of my life... The one I will write about... Stay alert, more to come next week...
"When you turn 21. You legally do all the things you've been doing since you were 15."
