"I've got the key to the door, never been 21 before!"

Ciao,

So it happened. I aged another year. Funny how these things sneak up on you!  I am now the grand old age of 21 and can now get into over 21 clubs and drink in America, if I ever get to go that is. Personally I don't get the hype about turning 21, I don't think it's as big a deal now as it was 20 years ago but hey it's still seen as important and I'm not going to complain about the attention! I wasn't too fussed about the actual number of my age, I was more focused on the fact that I will probably not be in the country for my next birthday so I wanted to celebrate it with everyone I possibly could.

So my birthday was yesterday and it was the second time that Mothers Day has fallen on my birthday, I was 10 last time...it seems to like my milestone birthdays! :) Sundays are a bit rubbish for doing anything and obviously people were spending time with their mummys so I celebrated on Friday and Saturday instead. Friday I went for a meal with 20 odd friends, I have mixed feelings about this part of my birthday as the food was atrocious! I really struggled to pick a restaurant because so many of my friends are really fussy with food and certain restaurants which really bugs me cause personally I will eat anything except maybe a carvery but only because carverys are never as good as my Mum's roast dinner! I ended up booking a restaurant I'd never been to that does all you can eat buffet in loads of different kinds of food, this was the kind of restaurant I was aiming for but the one I wanted was fully booked :( The one we went to was appalling; there was barely any variety of food and what there was didn't look that appealing to be honest. I only ate a teeny plate of food, I wasn't really hungry weirdly and also I was circulating the table chatting to everyone but yeah food was very disappointing. The company was the other end of the scale, it was so nice to see everyone and have my uni friends and friends from home mingling!

Saturday was AMAZING! I had a little family party at my parents house and to be perfectly honest I wasn't looking forward to it that much because half my family couldn't make it. :( BUT it turned out to be soooo good. I got extremely drunk and just had so much fun and banter with all my family, including my Mum and Dad who were doing Sambuka shots with me ahahahahaaa! Very funny, we also took loads of photgraphs on my iPad and there are several videos of me being absolutely ridiculous! We waited until it turned 12 to light my candles and sing Happy Birthday and then we popped the champagne from my 18th birthday :) One of the best bits was that my best friend who is on her PRA called me at midnight from Spain! So thoughtful of her! Needless to say that I was not feeling my best yesterday on my actual birthday. I saw my Nan and my Dad bought me a McDonalds (always my hangover cure), gave my Mum her Mothers Day present and card and opened all my cards from my family and a few pressies from friends. I didn't get presents off my immediate family as they gave them to me over a month ago...I'm going to do a blog post of what I got once I've taken photos. So yeah I just sat and chilled all day with my family and then my friend Chloe picked me up and took me home to uni and gave me her presents...I watched TV and went to sleep. Very chilled actual birthday day but very good birthday weekend! 

Now I'm 21 I feel like a proper 20 something and I think I'm going to make a list of 30 things to do before I'm 30...a sort of 10 year bucket list. I suppose that 20 - 30 is when most of the massive life things are going to happen to me so why not give myself some aims...after all who wants to reach the end of their life and say "If only I had..." 

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO MEEEE! 

Ciao for now...
