Some might argue that adulthood begins at the age of 18, or when you move out of your family home, or when you start college. But adulthood really starts when you turn 21- when you can buy alcohol and truly become 100% responsible for all of your actions.

How do you celebrate such an important milestone in your life? You could go on a lavish vacation, take yourself on a shopping spree, or you could celebrate it in Tallahassee as a proud Seminole would.

These are the 21 best ways to celebrate your 21st birthday at Florida State University.

Make your first legal alcoholic purchase at midnight.

What better way to celebrate being an adult than by buying alcohol, with your adult ID, for the first time.

Attend all of your classes for that day.

It's going to be tough, but you gotta do it. Unless you don't have class that day. Then go crazy.

Get free breakfast at Denny's.

Why should you have to buy yourself breakfast? It's your birthday. Get free food.

Get a free burrito at Moe's for lunch.

Buying yourself lunch? On your 21st? Unheard of.

Get 10 free boneless wings at Hooters for dinner.

I hear Hooters has some decent boneless wings for the birthday people.

Sign your name somewhere in Bull's.

Find a spot somewhere in Bull's to sign your name. Just remember where you sign so you can show all of your friends later.

Start the MadSo drink challenge.

You've waited a long time to drink six overpriced drinks in order to win a free t-shirt. So today is the day you begin.

Skip the bathroom line at Recess.

Make sure you let everyone know your only birthday wish is to skip the bathroom line at Recess. If you don't get to skip, start shoving. Happy Birthday.

Skip the line at Pots.

Go ahead and skip all of the freshmen clutching their fake IDs like it's Wonka's golden ticket. Waltz over to the front of the line and let the door guy know it's your 21st birthday. I'm sure he'll know what to do.

Get a free tequila shot at Cancun's.

Show them your ID at Cancun's and you'll get a free tequila shot. Just one, though. Don't get too crazy.

Show everyone your ID, even if they don't ask.

Oh, you don't care to see my ID? Well here it is, taped to my forehead. Look at it.

 Go to Palace for the first time, legally.

Ever wanted to hang out in a cigarette factory? Now you can, legally, at Palace. Go on, inhale the lung cancer.

 Get iced by your friends, 21 times.

Want to wake up and immediately hate your birthday? Ask your friends to ice you, 21 times. Have fun trying to stay alive the rest of the day.

 Run down the football field at Doak.

To truly celebrate your 21st, you've got to run, full speed, down the field. Once you reach the end zone, you must do a touchdown celebration dance. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

 Start every conversation with "it's my birthday."

Did the barista at Starbucks not check your Facebook page? Remind everyone that it's your birthday. Even if the conversation has nothing to do with the date, or your special day, make sure to mention to everyone that it's your birthday.

 Post an IG photo on your birthday with the hashtag #21Savage.

The more 21-related captions and hashtags you can use, the better. Really, you have to strive for the most original "it's my 21st birthday" caption.

  Answer every text and phone call from your family members.

You know everyone is going to call and say "happy birthday" and "hope you make it a good one" and "don't drink too much" so just laugh and say thank you and be nice. Please.

 Buy a lotto ticket.

You may not be 18 anymore, but you may be very lucky today. Go on and buy a lotto ticket, see if you win something.

 Be as extra as possible.

Be as flashy as you can. Get your hair done. Dress nicely. Make a scene. Be Mariah-Carey-Extra.

Go to a bar crawl.

What else is there to do when you turn 21 than to drink excessively at many different bars?

 Jump into the Westcott fountain.

Every 21st birthday must be celebrated by jumping into the Westcott fountain. Tradition demands it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
