25 Things To Do For Your 25th Birthday!

We all age, some age quicker than others. Actually, that’s not entirely true, we all age at pretty much the same pace. Unless you’re in space, and then you age just slightly slower, but that’s not what this article is about. Eventually, you will be 25 years old, and since I turn 25 in a little under a week, I figured I was the best person to tell you the 25 things to do for your 25th birthday!


1. Eat ice cream!

2. Cry

Because you haven’t accomplished anything in your time on this Earth.

3. Cry in your ice cream.

Where else would you cry? That and you can eat your feelings too!

4. Have a party!

5. Have 25 shots!

Actually don’t, you’ll probably die of alcohol poisoning. Maybe shots of wine.

6. Write an article about the 25 things you should do for your 25th birthday!

Go ahead, STEAL MY IDEA!

7. Eat 25 bagels.

Unless you’re gluten-intolerant, in which case you should just eat 25 of something else.

8. Light a fire!

Make some s’mores, cook a hot dog, burn the diploma you’re not using (if you even have one).

9. Cry again.

10. Reminisce.

Look back on your life before you were 25. Look how happy you were... how care-free! If only you could be 5 again.

11. Eat some cake!

It’ll probably be soggy from all of the tears, but cake is cake! You should probably eat the whole thing, because after 25 you can’t eat terribly without disastrous effects.

12. Get crunk/turnt.

But not too crunk, you have responsibilities! Like taxes, and a 401K!

13. Rent a car!

In some cases, you were probably already be able rent a car, but now there are no extra fees because you’re under 25! Hurray for cheaper things!

14. Celebrate!

You’re a quarter of a century old! You’ve witnessed about 1/10th of the solar revolution of Pluto! That’s amazing for you. But not for Pluto.

15. Hang with your best buds.

You know those finger-puppets you made while half-drunk at your 24th birthday party? Yeah, those friends. It’ll be great!

16. Sleep for 25 hours!

Challenge... accepted?

17. Stay awake for 25 hours!

This is a lot easier than it sounds, since you’ve probably been doing this since high school.

18. Cross things off your bucket list!

What things… what have I done that’s so important it’s on a list of things to do before I die? Turn 25? CHECK!

19. Go outside!

Smell the fresh air, look at the clouds, observe the sky and stars. Did you know that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old? Ha ha, and you and just turned 25. Good job, I guess.

20. Open presents!

You know, the ones you wrapped yourself the day before.

21. Make new friends!

Squirrels don’t count, RuPaul. Sorry.

22. Cry one more time.

Tears are good for the soul! And also, they make you feel better! I think.

23. Do a random act of kindness.

The greatest gift is the gift of giving.

24. Treat yourself.

It’s your day, so take a stroll through your favorite bookstore, take a bath, or just sleep! Add to that 25 hour goal!

25. Love yourself.

You’re getting older, and that’s okay! You’re a stunning individual with strange tastes and a large appetite, especially on your birthday! But no one can judge you, because if they do you’ll show them a thing or two about being rude. You know who you are, and you don’t need the day of your birth to remind you that you’re important and worthy. If nothing else, you have yourself to love. Happy Birthday!

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.

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.
