21 Thoughts On Your 21st Birthday
Regan Witkowski

Last Sunday, it happened. After years and years of waiting, and being the butt of all my older friends jokes, I finally turned 21. Suddenly, the world was my oyster. Sixth street in Austin was my play ground; every bar we walked into had a free shot or a free drink for me and my friends. That was by far the most "Happy Birthday's" I've ever heard in my life. Everybody has their own 21st birthday story, and as they go, mine was pretty awesome. As the night went on, I found myself thinking an array of different things: "Why is it so hot in here?" and, "Seriously, when can we go get something to eat?" crossed my mind countless times. The next morning, I recapped all of my thoughts throughout the night, and put together this list. Which of the 21 did you relate to the most?


1. Wow, Drinks Are Expensive.


2. Why Did I Think Heels Were A Good Idea?


3. There Are So Many Choices.


4. What's in a ____?


5. He's Not Very Cute But It's A Free Drink....So....


6. This Bar Looked Way Cooler On The Outside.


7. Wow, This Bar Is Way Cooler Than I thought.


8. What do you mean you only make this here?


9. Can Anyone Remember Where We Saw Those Food Trucks?


10. Everything Looks Different In The Day Time.


11. No I Don't Want To Dance.


12. Hell yeah I want to dance!


13. I. Am. So. Sweaty.


14. Do I Smell Pizza?


15. " I can't remember the name of that drink from earlier...but it was pink..?"


16. There Are So Many People Here.


17. How Are those Girls Not Drenched In Sweat?


18. I'm Always Going To Pretend It's My Birthday.


19. Hmmm Taco's or Pizza?


20. Water. Need. Water.


21. Wow, Drinks Are Expensive.

For those of us that are 21, am I right? For those of you approaching your 21st birthday, stay safe and bring some aspirin!

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.

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.
