This is for all the (slightly) older GCers out there...what was your 21st (or 18th if the drinking/gambling age wherever you are) birthday like?
I just turned 21 this February (21 on 02.21.01 - pretty cool

) My birthday was pretty low-key because I had a HUGE test the next day. It started at midnight with a trek to the grocery store for the first legal alcohol purchase. I got a bottle of champagne - but the cashier didn't notice it was my birthday. I think she just saw the year of birth as 1980 and waved me through. Then I went to my boyfriend's apartment, where we had champagne and cake with his roomates (he surprised me with the cake

).
The day of my birthday, I got lost as all hell looking for the DMV. After 3 hours I finally got it - and took an awesome picture!
The night of my birthday my mom and grandmother drove up to see me and we went out to dinner with my boyfriend. Then we (except for Josh - he's still only 20) went to the casino, where I won $50!!!
Unfortunately, school was way too hectic to engage in any drunken debauchery for my 21st. But it was still a great, and memorable day
