It was my 21st birthday yesterday, but I spent the entire day sleeping recovering from my night out Saturday… I started with some fabulous sushi at Haru, before we headed out to go clubbing. It was just a great night to enjoy with my friends, before the Patron kicked in and I woke up the next morning with no clue where I was! I also treated myself to a new blazer and some other clothes. I gotta keep saving though, my internship is almost over!
Now to rant for a bit, this birthday was almost completely pointless, in relevance to being allowed to legal drink. Thanks to traveling the world and going to college, I’ve been drinking since 14 and this birthday changed nothing, except making it easier for me to continue doing what I have been doing for most of my life. Choosing the arbitrary age of 21 annoys me even more. I guess that I am an adult at 18, I can join the army and fight and die for the country, but I can’t have a drink at that age? Let alone the fact that as soon as you leave the US and enter the sanity of other countries laws, you’re allowed to drink at 18 and younger. Waiting until 21 places so much extra significance on the event, leading to binge drinking and people doing stupid things, myself included. Such a pointless law.
