RB 0 Yo R 21ST B RTHDAY

first night I went to dinner with my family, then I had a party with my friends, then I had a block party and my last party was with my classmates. In south Philly we ate and drank," Young said.

One of the well-known challenges on the 21st is doing 21 shots. Not many people are very successful as this task. Junior Meg Chipman went to the Bent Elbow at 10 p.m. and lasted until 12:30 a.m. "I did 12 shots and there was no way I could do 21," Chipman said. There is also the thrill of celebrating for possibly the whole week. "I am definitely going bar hopping and it will definitely be with people from here. I figure I will be celebrating all week," junior Rose Leahy said.

No matter how people choose to celebrate their 21st it is unanimous. That day is the most memorable and if you can remember the night with a little assistance from a friend the next day you will never for get your 21st.
