Today I turned 21. An important age in our society. It is at this age you are allowed many privileges not granted to those of a younger age. It is also an indicator you are getting older. With every passing age life seems to be more complicated but at the same time it can be rewarding. This has certainly been the case for me. I have been a student since the age of 5 and soon I will be graduating with a college degree. A lot has clear happened within those years, school being my main priority. Next would be my family as I have a large family that have all wished me happy birthday and to treat myself to something special today after work.
For my birthday I am going to San Diego with my parents for some quality relaxation time for the weekend. Usually 21 year olds go to Las Vegas and drink and party often almost forgetting that night, but I would rather remember and spend it with my family. With most of my family being all over the map it is often difficult, so I do plan on celebrating when I come home for a few days near Christmas. The weekend with my parents will be special though as they are paying for the trip for me to meet them out there as I am on a college budget and could not afford it otherwise. San Diego, CA has a special place in my heart as that is where the best memories of family time have occurred as well as enjoying the culture. I look forward to the weekend ahead and the life after graduation!
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeletei hope you are having a wonderful time with your family. Happy birthday, at this age you are right about being allowed to privileges are not granted to those of a younger age and its an adventure. I am very happy that your main goal is school because most of people when reaching that age are doing the opposite. i hope all of your wishes come true and success all the way.
Many Thanks,
Omran
HiAshley,
ReplyDeleteSD is one of my favorite places that I have ever been to. If I could one day I hope to move there and live there for a while. I spent about 6 months just north of SD on the Marine base with my brother a few years ago and I was in love with everything there. The weather and the ocean mostly haha! I didn't do anything super big for my 21st birthday either, hung out with family and went to a base ball game with my boyfriend. You'll start to notice as you get older parting although it may be fun sometimes you'll realize there are more important things in life. Anyways Happy birthday and hope you have a great trip!

Ashley,
ReplyDelete21 is indeed an important age to our society. Welcome to the legal team! Sounds like you had a great birthday—San Diego has such beautiful weather. Also, I am the same…I would rather spend quality time with loved ones (i.e. dinner, enjoying something fun together, etc).
