What Happens When You Finally Turn 21
hsamuel.co

And it's just around the corner. In just a few short days, I will finally be turning 21. I've been counting down the days for a fun night out with my friends! Here are some of my thoughts on what turning 21 will be like!

You can go out with all your friends

I don't know who this one applies to, but the majority of my friends at college are already 21. I'm considered the baby, so instead of staying in all alone I'll finally be able to go out to the bars with them! Woo hoo!

Learning about all the different drinks you can get

You've heard about the million different beers all the brewery's have to offer. You know all the different flavored margaritas. And now is your time to experiment! Trying different drinks and different combinations is an exciting part to turning 21!

People looking at you as an adult now

Turning 18 may make you an official adult, but in my opinion, it seems as though most people won't see you as an adult until you're 21. For some reason to ability to drink legally allows people to see you as a different person.

Even if you're hungover, you're still ready to go out again

So your first night of turning 21 may have gone as expected, but you're up and ready to go for the next night!

Feeling classy drinking wine

Whenever I see people drinking wine, I atomically see them as being classy people. Now, you can buy yourself a classy looking wine glass, probably a cheap bottle of some white wine, and pour yourself a nice glass.

Simply getting ready for the celebration

It's time to celebrate! Turning 21 is exciting so that means having as much fun as you can!

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.
