2. Holy S#*T, I am actually 21 now.

3. Holy S#*T, I have class in 8 hours.

4. *2 minutes after I wake up* So...do I do a shot now or...?

5. *looks at clock* Shots at 8 a.m. probs aren't a good idea.

6. Will this class ever end?

7. *3 classes later* WILL. THIS. CLASS. EVER. END?!

8.Did I dress okay? Do I really want to take my I.D. photo?

9. Oh, yeah, cool. I forever appreciate that the wait time for the DMV is 12 years long...

10. Cool, so the camera flash hid the bags under my eyes.

11. Can I buy booze now?

12. SHE ASKED FOR MY ID WHAT DO I DO?!

13. Oh, right... My ID is actually legal now.

14. Has alcohol always been this expensive?

15. *looks at Burnett's bottles* No, you're better than that. You're an adult.

16. Tequila? Yeah, that doesn't sound like a poor decision.

17. Has tequila always tasted this way?

18. This bar is full of freshman... omg... am I old now? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

19. Just kidding. *leaves bar, buys a bottle of wine*

20. *turns on Scandal and uncorks wine* Olivia Pope would be ashamed of my $5 bottle of wine...wouldn't she?

21. Holy S#*T, I have class in the morning...


However you spend your 21st, be sure to do so responsibly. Party hard, but most of all, party smart and safe. Don't drink and drive.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
