I turned 21 today and quite honestly I am incredibly disappointed, hurt and angry all at once. I've always heard that turning 21 is a big thing, aside from now being legal to drink (but im not really into drinking) and honestly this has kind of sucked. I haven't really done anything I've wanted to do other than pick out my cake and ice cream. I didnt even get to choose what I wanted for dinner. I never really intended on being anywhere near my parents -- honestly wanted to spend my 21st with my boyfriend who is stuck in the heat. All my parents did was just hand me this god awful tasting wine expecting me to drink it -- and it was horrible, it tasted like absolute shit tbh :c so now I basically dont see the highlight of being 21 .-.

The second thing is, Im traveling to Switzerland for the first time-- the very first time ever for an internship. I get that its a big oppertunity for me and its putting my foot in the door in a major way, Im just incredibly nervous. I dont know what to expect when i get there. I dont know any particular place i should try to visit. Im terrified of getting lost =-=

Unfortunately, the only advice I can give is the "it could be worse" type. I had a parent commit suicide on mine, so, enjoy your wine with your family.

On the other note...being nervous is perfectly natural when you're about to go anywhere new, nevertheless in a different part of the world. However, whether it is a good or bad experience, it is an adventure of a lifetime.
