The Wait To Turn 21 Explained By 21 And Over

Turning 21 is a day we all anxiously wait for! Easy access to alcohol, no more nagging your friends to buy you alcohol, and you can retire your fake ID (and possibly sell it someone else.) The last few days go by super slow and seem to lag, but you’re almost there! Take a breather, reminisce on your last few years before you officially become legal!

You’re so close you can taste the free drinks, but here are a few things can sum up the last few days of being 20! 10.
