6 Things You Actually Want For Your 20th Birthday
Charley's Birthday

Turning 20... So close, yet so far. Hey, you might have beat teen pregnancy though.

So, you just turned 20. You aren't 21, so you can't go out and drink legally with your friends and let's be real, you probably still get told you look like you just turned 18, so you still get carded at the movies. Here are 6 things you actually want for your 20th birthday:

1. Money

Let's be real, you might want to act like you know what you want at 20 years old, but you really don't. When your family or friends go to ask you "what do you want for your birthday?" and you really can't think of anything, just ask for money or gift cards! Trust me. You might not be able to think of something right there on the spot, but I can promise you when you go shopping next week you'll see something you'll want that you didn't know you wanted a week ago.

2. A Fancy Dinner

Who really wants to pay for their own food anyway, am I right? Food always tastes better when somebody else buys it for you. Also, who doesn't want to get all dressed up and look elegant for their birthday? Invite all your friends to go out to a nice restaurant, open your gifts and make sure the restaraunt sings to you. I can promise you you'll still get to feel like it's your birthday and still feel like it's an appropriate festivity for your 20th.

3. Makeup

OK! We all know that getting new makeup is the best feeling in the world, but us girls may cringe a little when we walk up to that Sephora counter and find out our total is over $100. So when other people get it for us it's a great feeling. (p.s. gift cards to a makeup store is better. 10/10 times you won't guess my skin color).

4. Alex and Ani (any type of jewelry)

When it comes to Alex and Ani's, it could be a customized one, your sorority, your favorite sports, or even your zodiac sign, and much more. (the saying "diamonds is a girl best friend" isn't dead yet y'all).

5. A Spa Day

If a woman turns down getting her nails, toes, or a facial done, she's straight up lying. Any girl would love just to have a 1 stress-free day. With nobody talking to her, making her worried, or even telling her what to do.


6. TO BE 21 ALREADY...

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.

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.
