In a little over a week, I will be turning twenty-two. It’s strange to say this, because it doesn’t seem that long ago that I was just turning twenty-one. Oh well, I have had an amazing year, and I think the reason that it feels like time has been going by so quickly is because “time always flies by when you are having fun!”

Although I had a great twenty-first birthday, I didn’t take a trip or anything like that. Instead, I spent my birthday at several different bars, enjoying all of the free drinks and shots that my friends were buying for me. For this year’s birthday, I decided that I wanted to switch things up and do something different. I thought about it for awhile, and realized that taking a trip to Las Vegas with a small group of my closest friends would be a ton of fun.

I talked to several of my friends, and they all agreed that this sounded like a great idea. We made our reservation for the hotel (even though I know we won’t sleep much while we are there), flight and rental car, and we are going to be staying in Las Vegas for a total of four days.
