I came to the conclusion that 21 is not so great of an age for my situation. Let me explain.
Drinking. I do that already. Nothing so great.
Going to bars. Never really thought it was a big deal to go to 21 and up places. Yea, they're pretty cool, but the thing is, most of my closer friends aren't 21 yet. So at this rate, I wont' really be goin to those places until i'm 22 (Like Dave and Busters). Plus, there's alot of places that you can get into without being 21.
Renting cars. This is probably the best part about being 21. But I haven't done it yet, and by the looks of things, most rental cars are crappy cars anyway.
Dating. This is the worse of them. When I was 20, the dating range in my mind was a little wider. I figure 17-22 was good. Sure, 17 is on the edge of being illegal, but nobody said I had to have sex with them. At least, 17 and 20, the age difference was reasonable. Now that I'm 21, looks like the range turned into 19-22. 23 would be out of college, and i'm not ready for that kind of steady relationship, plus i figure 23 year old will be looking for older guys to settle down with. Can't date 17 year olds anymore, that's definately WAY illegal now. And 18 year olds? Well, freshman at college. Don't really want to date a girl who is still exploring her newfound freedom. Plus, it's the difference between being able to buy cigs, and being able to take a girl into the casinos.
So yea, 21 isn't turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. I'm kinda depressed.
Hopefully 22 and up will be better... can't say yet, cuz i'm not going to think about it. I'm already suffering from the realization that i'm not a child anymore.
And that, my friends, sucks.
Addendum: My bestest twin in the world gave me the bestest birthday present ever (next to her bestest xmas present ever, but that's another story).
