9 Tips To Have The Happiest 21st Birthday

If you are looking for some unique and special ideas to celebrate your big day rather than just going out, you are reading the right article. You only turn 21 once and you gotta do it right. Here are some party ideas, gift ideas and dos and don'ts for you to have the happiest birthday!

1. Birthday party!

Going out can be expensive and half of your friends won’t even get into the bars. On the other hand, having your birthday celebration at home is much safer, cheaper and more fun! There is nothing wrong with having a plain party but here are some ways to make it special and unique!

2. Birthday costume party.

Have your guests dress up as any thing or a person you share your birthday with. They could even dress up as you.

3. Funeral themed.

Turning 21 means that your youth is gone. The guests have to dress up in black and have fun in loving memory of your youth!

4. The throwback.

Is there a birthday that you always remember from your childhood? Reenact it! Same outfit, same cake, same food... Take a picture and compare them with your past!

5. Casino themed.

Casino makes me think of two things: “adult” and “fun,” and so does turning 21! Guests will dress up nicely, the house will have such fun decorations and there will be a lot of games and prizes.

6. Fun/creative gift ideas.

You can’t really plan what you’re getting on your birthday but you can drop some hints and hopefully your friends and parents will get the hint.

21-year-old wine.

Bottled on your birth year!

A bag full of Taco Bell’s tacos.

You can share them with your drunk friends at your party.

Skydiving.

Or anything you’d never forget.

Spa day.

Who doesn’t love getting a massage and/or manicure?

Glassware.

Nothing says "adult" more than drinking your cocktail with the right glassware.

9. Dos and Don’ts.

Dress up!

It is your day so you should look like you own the day.

Take pictures!

You gotta remember your big day!

Head a conga line.

No explanation needed.

Forget about eating healthy.

Eat whatever your heart desires.

Don’t skip classes.

The more people you’ll see, the more wishes and hugs you’ll get. You can also show off your birthday outfit.

Don’t take 21 shots.

There are so many ways to have fun without getting trashed. If you are drinking, please drink responsibly.

Don’t expect your friends to spend a lot of money.

You might want to travel, go out to eat at an expensive restaurant or go to a spa with your friends. It is important to do something fun but remember that it’s not their birthday.

Don’t let anything bring you down because IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!

Something bad happened? You can worry about it later but for now, have the happiest birthday!

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.
