today i turn 21. i can here y'all going "ooooo! let's go get drinks!" and doing all sorts of a hootin' and hollerin' but let me make one observation. i've never been pressured to drink. never. not when i was in high school and not when i was in college. people would ask "do you drink?" and i'd respond with a "no, i'm not too fond of alcohol." they would usually nod, shrug their shoulders and say ok. so why is it, just because i turn 21 i will automatically want to go and get a drink? for one thing i still don't like it and another is that i have finals! i rather not do something stupid.
so that brings me back to peer-pressure. it's kind of annoying. almost all my friends (whether they're 21 or not) want to take me out so i can buy my first drink. you don't have to drink it, they say, you just have to buy it. why would i want to waste five perfectly good dollars on something i don't want to begin with? for that matter why would i want to spend 2? i rather keep my money and buy something i want later on. they won't take no for an answer. even when i protest (very loudly i might add) they still insist on taking me out. well guess what! i'm not going and you can't make me. it's my money damnit and i can do whatever the hell i want with it so take that!
and so ends my rant on the stupidity of drinking and peer-pressure. i'm having a wonderful birthday though. my final wasn't too bad and it only took me forty-five minutes. i'm going to call the church and see if i can drop off my support money and visa papers. have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! :) Good luck on each and every final!
It is quite respectable you are sticking to your thoughts on things regarding going out for a drink! I really do have to admit you are one of the few I know who doesn't give into peer pressure. *cheers and props for Kait* Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk soon!! Take care! <3 Holly
