Twenty-one years old.
I am completely aware that I say this every day before my next birthday, but this time I mean it. Twenty-one years old has been my most favorite age so far. It will forever be remembered in my messy head as my favorite age.
1. Bowled my highest bowling score. 184. Oh yeah.
2. Flew on an airplane for the very first time.
3. Went to Las Vegas for the first time.
4. Got another ear piercing.
5. Got a new car all on my own.
6. Had my wallet stolen. Mr. Burglarjerkdude, I am still angry at you.
7. Won employee of the month.... TWICE.
8. Tried sushi for the first time and became obsessed shortly after.
9. Lost some friends but gained some even better ones.
10. Kept up my ever-so-persistent habit of picking my split ends.
11. Saw a Utah football game in the Notre Dame football stadium. This is huge news.
12. Went through a major baking phase and made close to a bajillion red velvet cupcakes.
13. Was a bridesmaid in one of my friend's wedding.
14. Didn't get sick once! Uh-oh. I really, really, really hope I didn't just jynx that.
15. Saw these concerts: She & Him, Modest Mouse, Smashing Pumpkins, Silversun Pickups, and CAKE.
16. Decorated my first Christmas tree since I've moved out. 'Twas the prettiest Christmas tree. *sniff, sniff*
17. Rode a wave runner for the first time. Daniel Tosh was right. It's impossible to frown while riding one of them.
18. Beat Steve in mini golf. This was HUGE breaking news. No one as ever beat him in his 22 years.
19. Formed an incurable addiction to Amazon.com.
20. Went hiking in the snow. It wasn't as miserable as it sounds.
21. Had to endure the dreaded day at the DMV where I had to renew my license. I survived.
I wish some cool things were on that list. Like, skydiving, winning the lottery, riding a dolphin, winning a prize, etc.
