Happy Birthday!

Both myself and my blog have turned a year older since I've last posted! My blog is now a year plus a couple months old and I am 24 years old...holla! Everyone has been asking me, "so how does it feel being 24?" My response is something like this. Well hmmm, When I turned 21 it was like a rite of passage... I am legal in ALL ways now! When I turned 22 I felt like I kind of took on this slight arrogance. When I was 21 I went to the campus bars and ordered some froo froo mixed drink or a lite beer. When I turned 22 I went to martini night and sat at a table and had conversations about "real" things. But I still could party with the best of them at the college bars(for example when my sister turned 21). When I turend 23 I felt really separated from the college scene, but I still had friends in college and was up for college stuff every so often...I was still in my young 20's!

NOW, however i'm 24. I'm in my MID -TWENTIES! I have a full time job and feel pretty accomplished. So 24 definitely feels different. it just feels like I've moved into a completely new place in life.

When I would have this convo. with people who are significantly older than me they'd just get this grin on their face that said "oh please!"

Anyway next year is 25! I think 25 should call for a big celebration...so to anyone who reads this...be prepared for a big birthday bash!

Peace
