1. Suddenly there is a barrier between you and your older friends.

2. If you get invited out on a Friday night, you are often looked at to DD.

Every. Single. Time.

3. Which also means you will be fighting to make your way into all the cool bars...or sitting in the car.

It's fine. My car has speakers.

4. But most of the time, you are sitting at home.

5. Probably binging out on Netflix.

Carrie Bradshaw would never leave me at home, no matter my age.

6. You've tried (and failed) to use a fake I.D.


7. Because it's not as fun to cheers with a Diet Coke.


8. You wish turning 21 was all about maturity.


9. You're sick of hearing the phrase: "I forgot you were so young."

Don't even go there.

10. Forget tagging along on New Year's Eve...or, actually, any other fun holiday.



11. Bouncers don't care how many years, months, weeks, and days it is 'til your 21st.


12. Your friends want to include you, but they are too cool for 18+ bars.


13. One day you will be able to wine and dine with your besties.


14. It might just take a few years.

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.

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.

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.
