How To Throw Your 22nd Birthday Party In Proper Taylor Swift Style

https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2018/02/14/6365422227487636862104710827_Taylor_Swift_RED_Tour_(8642419792).jpg

If you were born in 1990 or later, there's a pretty high chance that you have had or will have Taylor Swift's "22" played on your 22nd birthday. If you're into T-Swift, then this is a fun pop tune for your special day. But not only is it a necessary addition to your birthday playlist, it also gives you the perfect instructions on how to throw a Taylor-inspired 22nd birthday party. So, throw on some red lipstick and get out your notepad, as I outline the best 22nd birthday party you'll ever have.

Step 1: Attire

This is the perfect night to dress up like hipsters. **Note: 2012 hipster clothing ≠ 2018 hipster clothing.

Step 2: Dancing

Dancing is a critical part of your 22nd birthday, so put on your party shoes. You'll want to start the night in a crowded place, full of strangers just waiting to fall in love with you. Head out with your pals to the best dance club in town!

Step 3: Maybe it's too crowded...

The club is only fun for so long. Eventually, you'll get tired of all the "cool kids" in the club. Then, it's time to ditch the whole scene! Head home with your closest friends. And then the night is only just beginning...

Step 4: Food

This is the perfect night for breakfast at midnight. Whip up some pancakes, bacon, and eggs, and fill up those post-club stomachs.

Step 5: Games

Time for some activities! And the best one? Making fun of your exes. Anyone up for a pin-a-personality on your ex? Or charades - ex-edition? You'll probably feel happy, free, confused, and/or lonely, but hey, what else can you expect on your 22nd?

Step 6: Stay up all night.

Instead of sleeping, spend the night dreaming. Talk with your friends all night, and have so much fun that you forget about the deadline and the heartbreaks. It might be miserable, but it'll definitely be magical. Because hey, as long as you keep your friends next to you, everything will be alright.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

378

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
