What's worse than having a birthday during this whole COVID-19 pandemic? Well, aside from the major economic crisis, massive un-employment, and people dying from a virus we know nothing about… NOTHING is worse than missing out on your yearly birthday celebrations. Especially, if this year you were turning a special age, say the big 2-1 for example. Us March and April babies need some love too. I just celebrated my 22nd birthday on March 24th and instead of being sad about how my day would pan out, I made the most of it. Now I'm here to share my ultimate guide to spending/celebrating a birthday in quarantine.

Sleep in and don't set an alarm!

Start your day off right! Let your body wake itself up naturally with all the birthday adrenaline cooped up inside.

Shower and get yourself ready as if you were going out.

Feel good and look better! Wash your face, do your makeup, do your hair, and love the reflection you see in the mirror. You've survived another year and thats a big accomplishment, don't let anyone tell you different.

Make yourself a coffee and turn on your favorite music.

A little solo-dance party never hurt anybody right?

Bake yourself a b-day cake!

And if you have others quarantining with you, get everyone in on the action! Have fun with it, eat the raw batter, lick the icing off the spoon, and set it aside to enjoy for later.

Plan a FaceTime birthday celebration!

My friends and I got on the app Zoom and face-timed away all night. Drinking, telling stories, listening to music, making each other laugh. But most importantly, enjoying each others company, even if it is virtually, making the most of the situation.

Indulge, indulge, indulge! 

Now is not the time and your quarantine birthday is not the day, to count calories, restrict yourself, etc. Listen to your body and treat yourself the way that makes you happy... no regrets!

Last but not least... Reflect!

Use this time to think back on all the birthdays you have had. Go back and find old photos, think about whose been by your side consistently throughout your life celebrations. Enjoy the relationships you have with others and look forward to a better tomorrow.

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.
