A few monumental moments of my life are gradually developing: I will be graduating in May. I will be moving back in with my parental units. I will (hopefully) have a job that rakes in the cash money so I can proceed to move away from my parental units. I will no longer be a ‘college student’ and be able to justify casually drinking on the weeknights. I will turn the ripe age of 23.
