    First of all please don't get drunk. Mistake number one. You don't need a lot of friends to make your day special and they probably want tell you the truth of what they did.

    I would suggest you find out where you want to go,

    a play, a move, a restaurant, a drive to another city, a concert and invite your friends along. They usually have something else to do on that day anyway.

    A concert is somewhere where you can meet people, an expensive restaurant, a play,

    What's significant about 21 will also be significant about any age. You are alive and well. You have your dignity in tact and you love life.

    Friends will always be counted by the numbers on your first hand. True friends are like one or two, if that many.

    Throw yourself a small party and include wii, a movie, a dj and only throw the party from 9pm to 1am. Don't throw it at your house. Use a clubhouse and let everything run at the same time. Use the few friends to run the cake, the punch, and to greet the guests. You can invite people from your job, and they can invite your friends. Don't forget to invite a couple of family members to keep things sane.

    Remember being 21 makes it fun when you look up a guy you used to know and had a crush on to see if they are married and taking a look back at your blessings and not feeling like you have to add some curses in your life.

    You want to really see how your friends stand up. Ride a rollercoaster together and hang out at an amusement park.

    Continue to make the best of your life, because there will be plenty of people in your daily life to try and make it a miserable one.

    Learn to do something new on your 21st birthday. Ride a motorcycle, go somewhere you havent gone before, to a football game, to a race, etc.

    What you see at 21 is what you will look back at everyday and hopefully what you do that day won't still be following you to your grave. Weigh your options and the risks and believe me, leave with your dignity in tact.

    Don't do anything that will hurt yourself and don't do anything to hurt others.

    Remember; this chapter of your life should be a reflection of the same character that will keep you looking back reminding you, you still have to wake up to who you are. Be yourself and learn to love life even more by who we can help with time, effort, and know my daily living is not in vain. When you look in that mirror every morning, you know you are still wonderful and forgiving. Stay cool at 21 and beyond.

    What part of New York?

    I'm from Brooklyn and was born in Manhattan; I don't have a million friends but I have never had a problem finding the ones I have.

    Are you just trying to be popular and wasting our time? And if you want more friends (honestly), go out to a park and be yourself, chances are you'll run into a few people by chance, especially if you're in New York City itself (including all the outer boroughs).

    you don't need a lot of friends.

    Trust me, when I was your age I had loads of friends. Now, i'm 26. Along my adult life I've slowly weeded out friendships that didn't contribute anything meaningful to my life and now only have 1 friend that I talk to on a regular basis.

    Friendships tend to get tenuous.

    Learn to love yourself.

    Friends will come and go, but no matter where life takes you, you'll be there.

    you can still make it memorable with a few friends. what is important is that you spend it with people whom you are comfortable with.

    maybe you and your friends could dress-up in costumes of a specific time period and take a picture or ride the subway in these clothes, or both!!!!

    Whatever you do, enjoy your day!!!!

    Is there something you always wanted to do? i think its about just reflecting. I myself went down at my beach house and just spent it by myself thinking about everything i had done and all the things i wanted to do.
