There are a lot of things that happen as you get older. Your knees start to hurt, you wake up every morning feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck, and you can’t quite party like you used to. No matter how fast or slow the years go by, it seems that we can never turn back time. While we rush to make it to our twenties rather quickly so that we can party on, as soon as 30 is on the horizon, things start to feel a bit gloomy.
Our twenties are always filled with fun and adventures.
The moment we turn 21, we realize that the world is our oyster. We can legally drink and enjoy our lives on our own terms, and boy, do we take advantage of that.
