The Struggle Of Being The Last Friend To Turn 21

You are not alone.

The Struggle Of Being The Last Friend To Turn 21

1. Your night ends way earlier than expected.

All you want to do is catch a late night movie with your friends, but they are too cool for that now.

2. You try convincing yourself that Netflix & chill is much more fun than a night out with friends.

After watching an entire season of "Revenge" on Netflix in one night, it's time to reevaluate your life.

3. When you have to ask your friends to supply the juice and they respond like this:

Let's be real, when your friends turn 21, they feel much older than you. At least you can stay young and hip for a few more months.

4. When you order water at a restaurant, while everyone sips on a Margarita.

It's fine, you didn't want the extra calories anyway.

5. But you are WAY more mature than your friends, so why can't you have a drink?

6. FOMO, or "fear of missing out," is the worst and there is nothing you can do about it.

Listening to your friends talking about all of the cuties they saw downtown and you talk about what just happened on the latest episode of "Scandal."

7. You start asking your parents why you were born so late.

Why is your birthday months after all of your friends'? Please explain how this happened.

8. And then cry when they try to explain.

9. Your birthday seems so far away, even when you have a countdown on your phone.

Let's be honest: The more you think about it, the more it sucks.

10. But when you finally turn 21, it's going to be the best night of your life.

The best part of being the last one to turn 21: All of your friends can participate in the celebration of you turning into an adult and making horrible decisions during the last year of college.

For all of the ladies going through this struggle, you are not alone. Stay strong and you will overcome this great struggle.

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.
