Turning 21!
Now that I have turned 21 and most of my friends have or are this year, we are planning on a trip to Vegas this summer. It is exciting to finally be legal and we think it would be so much fun to all be able to go out together (even though we live in Chicago so there are a ton of fun things to do already) and take a trip now that we can legally gamble and drink. Of course online gambling and online slot games are fun, but being there in person is like a dream come true.
I remember when I was little watching wheel of fortune and thinking about how much fun it would be to be on the show or just to go and play games like that in person. Or even playing online bingo with friends or betting on it on the internet. They are really fun things to do, but now that we are old enough I think it is about time for the real deal. So much for free slots, we are ready to try our hand in real betting.
It almost makes me nervous to think about losing money. I doubt though that I'll actually end up betting and gambling a lot. I think we will probably go in and gamble a little just because we can but then focus our trip on all the rest of the things that Vegas has to offer like the shows and the restaurants and the drinks. It will be a great way to end the school year and meet up with everyone again. My friends from high school and I are still for the most part really close, but we all go to different schools so it is hard to find the time to visit and even when we do we can't all visit at the same time. And even our spring breaks aren't all at the same time and some of them are studying abroad. S this trip will be a great way for us to all be together and catch up and also celebrate our birthdays together in such a fun way. We can unwind from finals week before we have to all go to work or our internships for the summer. It is such a fun and exciting idea to go out and gamble and drink and just have a fun and relaxing time with your friends. I feel like after this year we should plan a trip every year after that!
