Not only have I been busier than ever, but I have also just turned 20! Since I just had my birthday, I decided to list a few things you can do here in Iowa City before age 21. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p>My favorite is the free stuff, whether Starbucks or Java House; they tend to send you coupons for a free drink, and I recommend it. Also, Sephora in Coraville has some great deals.<\/p>\n<p>Now, places to celebrate!!!! I love to go to Restaurants. Some great dinner places include Trumpet Blossom, Airliner, Pancheros, and more. If you want a morning thing, go to the Poindexter, Prairie Lights Bookstore, or Encounter Cafe. I also totally recommend picnics on the Pentacrest.<\/p>\n<p>Another great way to enjoy a birthday is a dorm party. During the non-quiet hours, put some music on and have sweets and snacks with an activity, whether a game or an art project. Or, watch a movie and ask your friends to bring soda, coffee, and snacks for a fun movie night.<\/p>\n<p>I also find treating yourself to a little gift is a great way to celebrate yourself because you got yourself here. So go to Target and get a blanket or a mug or anything you want to make you feel happier, especially if it&#8217;s your this special the first birthday away from family.<\/p>\n<p>Last call family and friends and talk to them about life. I found it really helpful, especially as a freshman. I missed my family and friends and being able to talk to them on the phone helped.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Birthday!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-225\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/rose\/files\/2024\/10\/tempImageYru03q.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-225\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/rose\/files\/2024\/10\/tempImageYru03q-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yotopia is a great stop to make on a Birthday!!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Enjoy<\/p>\n<p>Rose<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello OMG, we are back!!!!!!
