The Big 21! September 30, 2009
Posted by acc73 in : Uncategorized , trackbackSept. 28, 2009 was an epic day in my life, it was my 21st birthday and I was more than happy to celebrate my new found freedom. The thing about a 21st birthday is it’s really the last threshold; at 13 you become a teenager and you develop these natural tendencies to rebel about everything and figure out your parents are annoying, at 18 you feel like you are officially a man but in reality you’re not because all you can do now is buy lotto tickets and smoke cigarettes, but 21……..21 is the age where you can finally feel grown and walk into a bar with your head held high, because you know this is your ID and you can drink whatever you want.
While the birthday didn’t have the greatest start (having an interview and then an Accounting for Mergers & Acquisitions test doesn’t exactly scream wild and crazy 21, it ended up well with a random surprise of me receiving 21 cupcakes from Ithaca Bakery in the middle of my Business Statistics class thanks to Mom and Dad, even across the country they still embarrass me in front of everyone. I also tried the new Five Guys burger joint, because it was a random night for celebration.
I capped the night off with a trip to Ruloff’s a good bar/restaurant in Collegetown named after a killer in Ithaca whose brain is preserved at Cornell University. Great name right?!?!
Here’s a pictured of his preserved brain!
