Turning 18 is such a big milestone.
Even though you’re still a teenager, you’re an adult in the eyes of, well, everyone!
And although in the States it may seem to be more exciting to turn 21 than 18, there is still so much you can do at 18 that you can’t at 17.
I was so excited to turn 18 and the long list of things you can do once you turn 18 just added to that excited.
