97 babies... this is our year! This year will be full of celebrating 21st birthdays... I don't think anyone's liver is quite prepared for this year.

1. 97 Babies... it's our year

The year that the babies born in 97 are finally 21! So many drunk nights in our future celebrating the birthdays of our friends.

2. Waking up on your birthday

You only turn 21 once... gotta make sure everyone is aware that it's your birthday.

3. Your underage friend

Their day will come... the least they can do is at least make sure you don't die... right? They know you'd do the same for them.

4. Walking into the bar

5. Ordering your first drink

Not feeling picky... just bring me anything with alcohol in it!

6. Drinking with your older friends

As the baby of the friend group, you're excited to be drinking in the bar with all of your friends... while they've already had years of this experience.

7. Finally 21 with your best friend

Years of being the DD are over... now you won't have to get out of your bed at 2 am to go get your friends because you'll be stumbling right next to them walking home.

8. Drunk and hungry

*Someone asks if you want another drink*

9. Late night decisions

If you keep drinking, you can't get a hangover... right?

10. After 1:30 am

It's getting close to closing time yet you're still getting drinks handed to you.

11. Reality of getting home

You'll say you jumped out of a moving car... they'll say you fell out of the car when it was parked... tomatoe tomato

12. The morning after

The day after will be a rough one

13. Seeing friends the day after

Let's be real... we probably look as bad as we feel.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
