I came across an article a few days ago talking about things you should do on your 21st as I was planning what I wanted to do for my birthday.
By all means, it's not the craziest list but I'm not one to go all out on my birthday. I enjoy intimate gatherings, hanging out with my friends, or even the plain old dinner with my family.
But this article pretty much sums up what I would like to do on this special (but it's really just like any other day) day.
21 Things to do on your 21st birthday:
Relax in the Morning
1. Sleep in. You'll be grateful for the extra rest.
2. Treat yourself to breakfast in bed, breakfast always tastes a little bit better while you're snuggled up in bed.
3. In fact, have a mimosa with your meal -- you're finally legal.
4. Take a moment to reflect on the past 21 years of your life.
Prepare in the Afternoon
5. Take the rest of the morning to pamper yourself
6. You could get a tattoo that symbolizes your life in some way. Or, choose to be extra daring.
7. Go on and adventure - sky diving or a hot air balloon ride?
8. Get together w| your closest friends for lunch and plan out the night's activities.
9. Pick out your outfit for the night.
10. If you're feeling extra spirited, make a tiara or an "I'm 21!" button to wear.
11. Be sure to find a designated driver!
Celebrate into the night
12. Start the night out right by having dinner with friends or family (you need food in your stomach before you start drinking).
13. Celebrate by ordering yourself a special alcoholic drink at dinner.
14. Swing by a liquor store and buy something -- just because you can :)
15. Talk with your friends and try to gather up 21 different drink recipes.
16. Try a few of these recipes tonight, but don't try them all.
17.
GO TO A BAR! enjoy every moment of this night.
18. Dance on a bar or a chair to your favorite song.
19. Round up 21 people to toast to your birthday.
20. Make a goal for the night
21. And most importantly,
capture the moments. (don't forget your camera!)
