21 Feelings You Have When You're FINALLY 21
Glee Rewritten

After being the baby of my friend group for so long, and watching everyone around me turn 21 and go off and have fun while I either worked or sat at home with my cat and Netflix, it's a sweet relief that it's finally my birthday. Here are 21 stages of finally turning 21 as told by the drama queen of drama queens herself, Miss Sharpay Evans.

1. It's my birthday, it's my birthday!

2. Guess who's finally 21.

3. Literally about dang time.

It feels like it's taken forever.

4. I won't have to stay home anymore while everyone else goes out!

Honestly, thank god. I was beginning to feel like a crazy cat lady.

5. Like I literally can't believe I'll be able to (legally) get into a bar now.

Not that I've ever been to one before or anything....

6. My friends are going to get me plastered.

This is *definitely* going to end well.

7. Downside of the being the baby of the group: everyone can't wait to finally get you obliterated.

8. I guess I need to get like actual "going out" clothes now.

My Gryffindor Quidditch PJ pants are not going to cut it.

9. Being legal is going to be expensive.

Well, maybe not, plus side of being a lightweight?


10. Plus that's what friends and 21st birthday shots are for.


11. I hope I don't do anything stupid and embarrassing.

Namely, with drunk boys....


12. But if I do, that's why friends are for.


13. And regrettable Snapchat stories.


14. Slightly concerned about how rough the next morning may be.

14. But at least I'll get to be crazy and fun and free with all my friends, finally!


15. Literally the thought of finally being legal fills me with excitement for all the possible legal fun my friends and I can now have.


16. Today marks the end of awkward house parties and sneaking alcohol!

Not that I ever did that, of course...


17. It feels nice to finally fit in with the big kids.


18. It's like so many more doors have been opened.


19. A new chapter begins!


20. Summer 2016 is going to be epic.


21. Twenty fun, bring it on!


Of course, be safe while being 20 fun, drink responsibly, and enjoy the good times!

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.
