Because getting drunk doesn't have to happen at a big party.

21st Birthday Ideas During Corona

While we're not in quarantine anymore, normal birthday celebrations have largely become a thing of the past in a coronavirus-filled world. Although this isn't the worst for minor birthdays like 19, or 23, people with the monumental birthday of 21 are really missing out right now. As someone currently planning my 21st birthday, I thought I should share my favorite ideas, since I'll be letting most of them go to waste on my big day.

Go to a bar

ELEVATE

Depending on your state's coronavirus restrictions, this may still be possible. However, in most places, they won't serve drinks past 10 p.m., or let you drink without buying food. So, just don't go out the night before you turn 21 and expect to be able to drink.

Go out to dinner

Andrea Piacquadio

Although, this way, you can't take a shot the moment you turn 21, you'll still get to go out and drink for your 21st birthday, and get much better food than you would get at a bar.

Go out to brunch

Vincent Rivaud

Slightly earlier than going out to dinner, you get to get drunk early in the morning on your 21st, along with eating a delicious breakfast meal.

Host a get-together

Jacob Bentzinger

Inviting over a few friends (however many the state or county allows) can still be so much fun for a 21st birthday. You can do everything you'd do with your friends at a big party, but, this way, you cut out all the people who you probably would have ignored anyway.

Go alcohol shopping

Ashkay Chauhan

You can bring a few friends to a nearby liquor shop and just buy anything you want, since you couldn't do that in the past. And, if you look young enough, they might even not believe your ID is real.

Do a free things day

Since so many places offer you free things on you birthday, why not make the whole day dedicated to getting them all? To make it 21st-themed, you could go with a few friends and have a car full of alcohol that you guys can drink (while the person who's still 20 drives.)

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
