7 Perfect Destinations To Celebrate Turning 21

MaxPixel.com

Every teenager longs for their sacred 21st birthday. But, when the day finally comes, you are faced with a burning question: Where should I go to enjoy my new-found right to legally consume alcohol? Here are 7 places I think would be the best to go to when you finally turn 21.

1. EPCOT In Disney World

Disney World is the most magical place on Earth, so why wouldn't you want to spend your 21st in the theme park? EPCOT has several different countries for guests to walk through, each country features many alcoholic beverages that are common in each country. You could take a walk "around the world" and sample many beverages from each country with your friends or family.

2. A Cruise

Cruises are always a super fun vacation- imagine going to celebrate your 21st birthday. Cruises normally have delicious complementary alcoholic beverages on certain days of the vacation. If that's not enough for you, each port you visit will have fun and tropical drinks to enjoy legally.

3. Las Vegas

This would be an extreme way to celebrate your 21st, but I just couldn't leave it off this list.

4. Cinebistro

This high-end movie theater chain, located in several different cities around the country, offers gourmet dinners, cocktails, and wine you can enjoy while watching a new film. This would be a great way to have a laid-back, yet special 21st birthday.

5. A Concert

Going to your favorite artist's concert or any fun concert to celebrate your 21st birthday would be a ton of fun. You can purchase alcoholic beverages and dance with your friends while enjoying the music.

6. A Professional Sporting Event

If you are into sports, attending your favorite NFL, NBA, or MLB team's game would be a great place to buy some drinks, cheer on your team, and celebrate your 21st.

7. Your couch

Buying some ice cream and wine while chilling on your couch with your friends, is always a great option if you don't feel like planning anything and just want to enjoy your birthday simplistically.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
