21 Thoughts You Have the Day After Your 21st Birthday

The big 2-1. The day that many people—well, degenerates like myself—look forward to. Friends, alcohol, more alcohol. What's not to love? The day after, people. The day after is what not to love.

Here, 21 thoughts we've all had the day after your 21st birthday:

1. I am never drinking again.

2. Am I alive, or is this some nightmare I need to wake up from?

3. Okay, I am alive. Where am I? Help.

4. I need water more than I need oxygen right now.

5. Where is my phone? Need to start damage control because, knowing me, I texted people I do not want to speak to.

6. Wait, where is my wallet?

7. God, I do not even want to think about checking my bank account.

8. I should probably eat.

9. Mmm, yeah, on second thought, hard pass.

10. Actually though, never drinking again. Not worth it.

11. Why do my friends hate me?

12. I feel like I got hit by an 18-wheeler, and that just wasn't enough so an elephant had to come stand on top of me.

13. I wish robots were a thing because I really need some water. Needed it yesterday.

14. It is entirely too bright and what is that noise? Make it stop.

15. Whose number is this? Do I even know someone from that area code?

16. I should probably be questioning how I got home.

17. Is this even my t-shirt? How did I get in it? Where are my actual clothes?

18. I think I broke my toe. Or my foot. Or maybe it is my ankle. Not hundo p sure.

19. Here come the shakes -- hype!

20. Even better -- here come the "I can't believe you did that" texts. I'd rather not know. Ignorance is bliss, right?

21. Maybe if I just go back to sleep, it will all go away and I will wake up with no ragrets and go back to being a functioning member of society.


P.S. You wake up with many regrets, and it is impossible to be a functioning member of society.

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.
