With two more months until I celebrate my not-so-exciting 22nd birthday, I thought it's time to do a reflection on what I did as a 21-year-old. Here are 25 highlights:
1. Celebrated my 21st at a rooftop bar in NYC.
Yeah, I was boujee AF.
2. Became one of the Directors of AMA for the second time.
3. Went to my first ever Firefly Music Festival FOR FREE! (also didn't shower for 3 days.)
4. Went to the Lantern Festival for the first time. (one of the best nights of my life.)
5. Made my first travel vlog after I visited Hong Kong.
6. Got my first tattoo! Shh... please don't tell my mom.
7. Traveled to Washington D.C. for the first time with my best friend Conor.
8. Spent too much money at SIPS in the summer...
9. Worked at [ 2 one 5 ] Creative as a Marketing Intern.
10. Found a new internship at Sidecar Interactive.
11. Watched my brother graduate high school.
12. Became a College Fashionista!
13. Went to Mad Decent for the first time.
14. Completely chopped off my hair. (one of the best decisions I've ever made.)
15. Went to Made in America for the 4th time.
16. Had the time of my life in Atlantic City with my closest friends.
17. Visited the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time.
18. Finally dressed as a Harry Potter character for Halloween.
19. Went to my first Temple basketball game.. as a Senior...
20. Improved my photography/editing skills A LOT.
21. Visited the Golden Gate bridge for the first time.
22. Had In-N-Out for the first time.
23. Won AMA's Beer Olympics with my buddy Nick! (the next morning was not fun.)
24. Attended the Philadelphia Women's March for the first time.
25. Witnessed the Eagle's winning the first Super Bowl & joined the riots/parade.
Many great first times being 21. Of course, there were also too many embarrassing moments that I'm not going to include. Although checking my bank account was horrifying when all my friends slowly turned 21, I did enjoy getting together with them and having the best nights of our lives. As a 21-year-old, I am excited to see where my future holds as everything is about to change after I graduate college very soon. Here's to more adventures!
