My 21st was my best birthday by far. I had spent the entire weekend working with the basketball team at a tournament (Thurs-Sun). 2 of my sorority sisters picked me up at 11:30 and we started hitting the bars. Since it was a Sunday night, there weren't very many people out. Most of the bartenders made a big deal out of my birthday and I several times, I ended up with total strangers singing to me and buying me what drinks my sisters or the bartenders didn't. The best part about the night was that it was the first time I really connected with these 2 sisters (possibly b/c our inhibitions were down??) But it was a night I will definitely never forget.
The next night (my true b-day night!) my roommates took me out to dinner and we made the rounds to other bars (the town has something like 100+!). It was just great that I got to have such an awesome time and get to know so many people. ( I still see some of the people I met at the bars on those uncrowded nights!)
