Celebrating Your 21st Birthday In Style

The time has finally come. Ever since you turned 18, you have been dreaming of this day. Of the day you finally turn 21 and get to join the world of legally intoxicated adults.Gone are the days of getting denied entry from clubs and ushered out from liquor stores. No more shall you have to stand a safe distance away from your friend in the grocery store when they choose to buy a bottle of wine.

Today is your 21st birthday, and it's time to celebrate in style.

Step 1: Choose your destination wisely

Planning a weekend getaway? Try renting out an Airbnb for a few nights in a fun destination.Wanting a calmer night in? Try hosting a more casual kickback at you abode. Go somewhere that suits you wants and party style and never feel pressured to go out on the town if you'd rather stay in with friends!

Step 2: Gather up the homies

No birthday celebration is complete without out your #squad. Whether you want people there to take care of you in your drunken state, bust a move on the dance floor, or get WaHo with in the morning, a good group of friends is essential for a proper celebration.

Step 3: Make sure everyone knows it's your 21st

Proudly show your ID to the general public or wear a gaudy, glitter-filled sign if that suits your fancy. Who knows, you might get a free dessert shot out of it.

Step 4: Order your first legal drink

*Note* This drink will most likely set the tone for the rest of the night. Calm night in? Try your favorite IPA. Night on the town? Go ahead and order that whiskey sour. Think "If I was an alcoholic beverage what would I be?". Personally, I'd be a tequila sunrise.

Step 5: Proceed with caution

How you choose to spend your 21st is completely up to you. If the celebration stops after that first drink, that's perfectly acceptable. If quite a few drinks follow in succession, hooray for you. Just make sure that you are safe and in good hands throughout your special day.

Step 6: Take a shot of tequila

Because tequila doesn't judge. Tequila understands.

Step 7: Get tucked into bed

Water on the bedside table? Check. Advil on hand? Double-check. Trust me when I say hungover you isn't going to want to wake up on the floor.

Step 8: Indulge in some dope Brunch

I have yet to meet a hangover that brunch could not fix. And if you want bottomless mimosa with that, guess what? You can now order them to your hearts content.

Happy 21st Birthday!

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.

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.
