20 here. so you got a good number of people in this 18-21 age group. guido, darkangel, and a handful of more people... We just hide pretty well. ;-)
When I turned 18, the first thing I did-- taking finals. My birthday is in mid-December which always parallels up to the autumn semester's finals week. So I never can have SO much fun on my birthday without study-study-study for the exams!
This year, on my birthday, I have a final exam. :-(
A day before my 18th birthday, I met my husband. so my 18th birthday does hold that sentimental memory for me.
So this December will be my big 2-1 ... and I don't know what to do. Should I throw a party or have an intimate party? Somebody recommended me to have my party at a bar so my friends can get drunk while I stay sober.
They can get drunk for me!
I don't drink at all so the big 2-1 only means to me is that I *finally* have the freedom to go into anywhere without being barred. I can go into a dancing club with my friends and whatnot. It will be nice. It sure feels stupid to be denied access into a club when you have no purpose of drinking. They should pass out licenses for people who abstains alcoholic drinks so they can go anywhere they want!
