LOL</p> <p>Was fun~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562997 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:16:11 +0000 MrsTiz 1562997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - spent the day getting a mani/pedi/massage that DH scheduled for me, stopped at the ABC store for my first legal purchase, then went out to a new restaurant in town with my parents, sister and soon-to-be BIL. Received a ton of wine/alcohol from family and friends then went home to put LO to bed. </p> <p>I did my celebrating the following weekend with my sister and some friends, they made me do the whole 21 years/21 drinks thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562880 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 11:42:14 +0000 joyjoy 1562880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I had two finals on my actual birthday, but right afterward my friends took me to Napa for the weekend. We still laugh about the fact that instead of bar hopping and clubbing for my 21st, I went wine tasting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562836 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 11:29:34 +0000 Sunderling 1562836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember it at all.. But I'm inclined to think that's because I didn't do much to celebrate it. I probably went out for dinner with my husband or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562535 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:14:15 +0000 coopsmama 1562535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I remember it! I was moving into a new house in LA so my mom came down and was helping me. It was a long day of moving and furniture shopping and we decided to go out for dinner after working all day. We were so exhausted and went to bed immediately after getting home! It was a lame birthday but I was away from BF (now DH) and the rest of my family and friends so that was to be expected. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562314 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:11:41 +0000 prettylizy 1562314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember 21 but legal drinking age here is 19 so I'll share that story. DH (then BF) arranged for a limousine to take me and all our friends out club hopping for the night. I was the youngest of our group. He stocked the bar in the limo and everyone bought me a bottle as gifts. We got VERY drunk but were safely home via the limo :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562296 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:05:41 +0000 Anagram 1562296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was epic. I stayed out with my friends till 5 in the morning and ended up climbing over someone's fence to jump on the trampoline in their yard. In a dress. Good times. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562274 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:00:00 +0000 Springtime 1562274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, went out to eat with DH (fiance at time) and some friends and then went bar hopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562271 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:58:28 +0000 artsyfartsy 1562271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It was just 2 years ago. :silly: </p> <p>My husband had an awesome cake made and a few friends and family came over to grill out. I had my first "legal" drink with my dad. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562219 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:44:36 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1562219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. DH and I were still dating at the time. We went downtown to a few bars but I started feeling ill after our second bar so we went home and snuggled. We're pretty sure that by the time my 21st birthday came along I was already pregnant but we didn't know it at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1562125 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:16:42 +0000 alohaorchid 1562125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it wasn't a big deal. I'm in Canada and the legal age here is 18 so that was my more important birthday. I got a tattoo, bought a lottery ticket, and got very drunk lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-1561918 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 06:03:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1561918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...I celebrated on two days. My bday was either Friday or Saturday. I can't remember which now. I was dating my college ex and he was a real jerk. So my girlfriends purposely had dinner at the restaurant he took me too in case I wanted to leave with them. :heart: They came over the table during dinner to "bump" into us and he was steaming mad. </p> <p>The next night my bff came to visit me at college and a bunch of my friends went to a club. Before we left we ate the best ever strawberry cake and some very weird strawberry liquor. Oh we had a lot to learn. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1561908 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 05:31:29 +0000 Cherrybee 1561908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. I was really disappointed because my boyfriend at the time was in a band and he accepted a gig on my 21st birthday. I was so upset with him! Then my dad asked if he could take me for a meal so I accepted - which really upset my mum (they are divorced) and she didn't speak to me for several weeks. She didn't even send me a card to say happy birthday. So I went for a meal with my dad and then went to the boyfriend's gig - and sulked all evening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1561852 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 02:45:02 +0000 BabyMats 1561852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vegas! That's really all I remember </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1561825 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 01:13:32 +0000 Honeygold89 1561825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep nothing special I got up went to work (I was working at SAMs club behind the jewelry counter) work from 9am-7:30pm got off went to the liquor store and brought a bottle of Nuvo went home and drunk the whole bottle by myself and listen to music and watched movies. I was single then just went through a break up but meet DH a few months later that. Was only 3 years ago </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1561816 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 00:39:28 +0000 lamariniere 1561816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: I was studying abroad too! In Paris. So drinking was already no big deal. I actually had a terrible cold. Friends showed up at my apartment to celebrate but I had to turn them away since I was so sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560693 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 17:31:20 +0000 Rubies 1560693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all...But in Canada, 21 isn't a big deal. Legal is 19-years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560681 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 17:28:40 +0000 Beyond2 1560681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but some of my friends don't remember my 21st lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560629 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 17:20:34 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1560629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We went downtown to a few clubs and I was very tired and had a few too many and started feeling nauseous. Luckily I wasn't very drunk by the time we had to leave because the song "Pop, Lock and Drop It" and my friend did just that and split her pants right up the middle. Her whole butt was hanging out. I was wearing a long top so we went into the bathroom and switched shirts before deciding to head out. I was very excited for an excuse to go home (she was DD). We all had a good laugh about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560581 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 17:10:00 +0000 KT326 1560581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back home to celebrate with some friends up there, ended up running into a guy I had gone on several dates with before I moved... never told him I was moving and I changed my phone number. Fortunately there were no hurt feelings and we ended up spending the next day out on his boat! </p> <p>The birthday that is foggy is my 24th birthday. DH (then boyfriend) and I spent the day on the beach drinking rum and coke waiting for a free concert that night. We finished the bottle... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560517 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:39:01 +0000 charmed 1560517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the beginning of the night, but the rest- not so much! I was a bartender and went to the bar I worked at with a bunch of friends. Every time I turned around someone was like "hey do a shot with me for your birthday!" I still can't drink Jager because of that night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560511 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:35:39 +0000 jhd 1560511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was studying abroad at the time. Friends took me out to lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560508 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:33:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 1560508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was one of the few girls who were 21, so most of my guy friends took me out (at the time I had 3 guy roommates.) I was very drunk and decided to try and sleep in a booth...not my finest hour. My roommates took me home and one slept on the couch by my room to make sure I was okay ;) He's a good guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560492 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:27:41 +0000 Smurfette 1560492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the first part of the night!

My birthday is in the summer and we tried to go to some bars before i was officially 21 (like hours away) and some bouncers wouldnt let us in. So we ended up at "diner" across the street with a bachelorette party who bought me shots. Then my camera died. It was so hot out that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560365 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:47:40 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1560365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in London doing a Shakespeare study abroad program. We watched a full-length (4 hour) Hamlet that evening and then the other students surprised me with a cake while wearing masks in the motel pub. It was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-21st-birthday#post-1560362 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:47:13 +0000 MrsStar 1560362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep (since it was last year) I went to a bar with my besties and had cocktails, I was home by 10.30 to be with lo :happy: </p>
