The older we get, the more daunting birthday's seem. I miss the days of princess themed birthday parties and moonwalks. The pressure to throw a sufficient birthday event as an adult is sometimes overwhelming and costly. Here are a few adult-friendly birthday ideas that won't break the bank:

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

1. Karaoke Bar

Find a group of friends, order some good food and drinks, and unwind! Most karaoke bars run at about $35 an hour (and you never need more than two).

2. A sleepover

As a kid, sleepovers were one of my favorite birthday festivities and nothing has changed in that regard. Have a group of friends come over in their PJ's, pick up a movie or two, and get an array of junk food. This is easy, cheap, and relaxing!

3. Dinner

An excellent excuse to dress up, invite your friends out to a nice sit down dinner. Enjoy each other's company and indulge!

4. Roller Skating/Ice Skating

While this may seem juvenile, skating as an adult is even better than skating as a child. Roller rinks often have a pretty cheap entrance cost and will lower it depending on party size. One warning: beware of broken ankles and sprained wrists (trust me).

5. Dancing

Find a dance club in your town, dress up, and go let loose! Entrance fees order between $5-$10. Tell the bouncer it's your birthday and you may get a birthday surprise!

6. Shop!

Treat. Yo. Self.

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.
