Ok, so first off, tomorrow is my birthday, the big 21. As of now, nothing feels different, but I think that will change when I buy my first drink, and well, if it doesn't change then, I know it will change when I drink my first drink. I feel really great about myself in that I have never had a drink. Not only did I make it through high school having a great time without alcohol, but I have made it through nearly the first 2 years of college without having a single sip. Now, to my family this would probably not seem like a strange thing as no one in my family really drinks, but in this whole college arena, I seem to stand out pretty well. My close friends don't really drink, some might drink a little, but never around me. I think it is cool that my friends respect my request to keep the alcohol out of my apartment and away from me. I know that tomorrow I will be able to purchase alcohol and drink at any point, but I really don't see myself drinking much. Alli has already said she wanted to get me drunk as it is a right of passage for the big 21 but I told her I didn't think that would happen. I really don't think I will mind sipping on something but as for taking shots, or drinking anything that is intended to get me drunk, that won't happen. I will be looking for something that tastes good, not looking for that buzz or light-headed feeling. I think my choice beverage will still be Dr. Pepper or Mt. Dew. Alcohol will always take a back seat. Well, I will keep you updated on all the wonderful birthday stuff!
