Diary of the Undateable: The Land of Twenty-Somethings
I turned 21 yesterday. By legal standards, I’m a grown up. But most importantly, I’m officially in the era of the twenty somethings.

I Always Hated My Summer Birthday…Until Now
I’ve never liked my summer birthday. It’s June 30th, smack dab in the middle of summer. In elementary school I never got the chance to bring in cookies or cupcakes to celebrate, nor did I ever get the chance to be “Student of the Day” and wear the special birthday crown.

He Said/She Said: Birthday Blowouts
And that’s when I learned that the biggest difference between men and women is not how often they masturbate or what they talk about with their friends, it’s birthday parties. As in, guys don’t really have them. At least not in any special sort of way.

Duke It Out: Birthday Shots
This week, the last bar in State College (that’s the town where the main campus of Penn State is – the name confused me for a while too) to hold out on the 21^st birthday tradition of doing way too many shots decided to amend it’s stance and stop serving shots to new 21 year-olds.

Coupled. And Getting Older (Together)
For those of you who don’t know me and for some reason wish you knew more, my 21st birthday is Friday. That means no more sitting at home while my friends go to Austin’s famed 6th street, no more waiting in the car while my boyfriend buys booze, etc. It’s time for me to face it, I’m getting slightly older.
