21 Things That Happen When All Your Friends Are 21

There comes a time when all your friends start turning 21. A whole new world of buying alcohol and going out to bars is now going to be taking up their weekend nights. Being underage is a bummer when you're the youngest in your friend group, so you have to keep yourself busy. Here are 21 things to do when your friends go out for the night.

1. Offer to be their DD.

2. Help them pick out their outfits and get ready for the night.

3. Take endless pictures of them to post on Instagram later.


4. Watch them pregame.

5. Wish you were 21.

6. Drive them to their first bar, while trying to accommodate music requests.

7. Tell them to stop rolling down the window to talk to people. (Then proceed to put the child lock on.)

8. Drop them off and listen to them tell you how much they love you.

9. Drive home wishing you were 21.

10. Decide you're going to have a productive night and get some homework done or clean the house.

11. Check your friends' Snapchat stories.

12. Really wish you were 21.

13. Check the calendar to see how many days you have left of being underage.

14. Start working on some homework only to realize you can't focus.

15. Turn on Netflix instead.

16. Try to find a movie that doesn't make you feel worse about being stuck home alone for the night.

17. Check your friends' Snapchat stories again.

18. Fall asleep watching the tv show you picked out on Netflix.

19. Wake up to your friends' drunk giggles and conversations when they get home for the night.

20. Tell yourself you're happy you're not going to be hungover in the morning as your force them all to drink water and eat some crackers.

21. Start counting down the days until you're 21, too.

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.

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.
