As 18 is considered a turning point in many lives, I've decided to ask what the very first thing you did as an adult was?

 

 

 

And don't say you woke up, or breathed, or something. That's lame. Say something that actually counts as something that happened. I'm having trouble fully explaining what I mean, but I believe people should understand well. If you ate cereal, say that. If you went to the [cabbage]ter, say that. If you had sex, say that. And so on.

 

 

 

If you aren't 18 yet, say what the first thing you want it to be is.

 

 

 

 

 

I just turned 18 about an hour and a half ago. I feel completely the same, of course, but it occurred to me that I should find something cool to do as the first thing to do as a legal adult. As I pondered this, coming up with some interesting ideas, I heard a splattering come from my younger brother's room. "Did you spill your water cup?" I asked, remembering that he had brought a cup of water in there with him. There was no response. I waited, "Well?". I heard splashing into the toilet and a choking noise. I walked over there to see my brother vomiting into the nearby toilet while a massive splash of grotesque half digested Burger King chicken fries was strewn across the carpeted floor.

 

 

 

Turns out the first thing I did? Clean up a puddle of vomit. Theres a story for the bars in 3 years. What's yours?

Bought alcohol for my party that night?

What every american should be able to legally do at 18, drink some booze.

not 18 yet but when i turn 18 i'm gonna run down the street yelling "woooo i'm 18!!!" then i dunno might get a flat or something dunno for sure but that sounds pretty good :D

I hung out with my friends on the night I turned 18. I really didn't do anything adultish. :P I guess the first thing I did that really required me to be 18, was I bought all my friends tickets to an R rated movie. :lol: The crazy woman at the ticket booth wouldn't let any of my friends who were minors buy the tickets, so I collected all their money and ended up buying about seven movie tickets. :P

The first thing that I really remember about turn 18 was going and buying a $1 lottery ticket.

First thing I want to do at 18; Win the lottery. :)

When i'm 18 i'm most likely going to be enlisted for a gruelling 2 years of national service...

 

Just thinking about it is making me... UGH.

Why do it then?

 

EDIT:...I had a brain wave. Is it compulsory?

 

 

 

Not sure what I'll do. But it will probably be just buying grog.

i intend to buy a fair amount of booze, and chill with some close mates when i turn 18.

 

 

 

only 2 years to go lol :P

It was my birthday party the night before so everyone was round, and when it turned midnight I just put on some awesome music.

 

 

 

In the morning I made bacon sandwiches for everyone =D

 

 

 

The only thing I regret is buying my first legal alcohol in the co-op, should have been a pub or something much nicer than the shop down the road... :wall:

I turned 17 today, nothing exciting haha, i even went to the orthodontist ha. Yeah, probably by a drink or twenty for a small group of mates, i'm australian ha, how couldn't i?

i hung out with friends. and bought a pack of cigarettes later that day just because i could do it legally.

Just so everyone here knows the US drinking age is 21 not 18

Erm, well, in the UK we can legally drink at 18. But I illegally drink now. I suppose I'll go order a pint in the pub and actually produce legitimate ID. Then go clubbing.

 

 

 

 

 

Then come home and play runescape. I always play runescape lol

Woke up, went to the pub, went to the strippers, then went to a club. Pretty normal 18th birthday.

exept for the third thing you did......... :?

Really in America there isn't much you can do 'legally' at 18. I mean, sure, I could buy cigarettes but I don't smoke -- and I couldn't buy lotto tickets but those things are a waste of money.

 

 

 

 

 

I think I may have seen an R rated movie but nothing special.

Nevermind

I changed the title to more reflect what the question was as some people weren't getting it.

 

 

 

Although I've had a drink here and there now already before I was 18 here in America (but barely, I hate the taste of alchohol) I think it'll be cool when I go up to Canada this year to do it legally.

I'll be turning 18 in a few months so here's my plans:

 

 

 

-Going to get an appointment to get my next tattoo (my mom is going with to get her next one too ;))

 

-Might buy a glass "tobacco" pipe

 

-Sign up for the draft (hurrah :()

 

-Get my full license and have my medical restriction taken off :thumbsup:

 

-Celebrate with some booze or mary j

 

 

 

 

 

I can't wait for my birthday :)

Think that's gonne stop us? :lol: Alcohol isn't that hard to get in the U.S. even if you're a minor.

Well you said not say waking up etc, so after all that went to the pub and bought a pint, then went shopping and spent all my B day cash, then drunk some more, had a meal out with friends then went clubbing.

 

 

 

Ok so I basically told my whole 18th birthday, but it was bloody awesome.

On the night of my last day of 17 years of age, I plan to keep a gun near my pillow. Then, when I wake up on my 18th birthday, I'll fire off 18 rounds. Not exactly sure where I'll fire them at, but that's the plan.

I don't care much for birthdays and besides there isn't a whole lot of positives at 18, just taxes. >_> I'll probably throw a jig when I'm 21, since we can (finally) drink beer.
