A Quarantined 21st

21 and FUN (and quarantined)!!

A Quarantined 21st

Your 21st birthday is the milestone birthday you have been waiting for!! It is the birthday that everyone loves to celebrate (and most times, forget). However, COVID has been putting a stand still on many different milestone celebrations, 21st birthdays included. I do not know about you, but I will not be letting COVID bring down my birthday and you should not either! Being safe does not mean not being able to have fun! You do not have to choose one or the other!

1. Decorations. 

Get into the spirit! I am a firm believer that a person's mood is extremely influenced by the environment they're in, so make it a fun environment! You want to bring up the mood and get yourself excited about the milestone you just hit. This is a day solely about you, take full advantage of it. Turn your house into your own Club Quarantine and enjoy every second of it!

2. Dress to impress!

Something I always thought about was what I would wear for my 21st. Everyone goes so full out for their outfits and look absolutely stunning!!! Time for you to go full out and dress to impress!! You can snap and get some cute pictures you have been waiting 21 years to get. Plus, I find it to be so much fun to dress up because we have not gotten to do that in SO LONG because of COVID.

3. At Home Bar Crawl 

The part of your 21st that is composing your mind...alcohol. Given that you can not do a typical bar crawl or go clubbing right now, this it the next best thing. You could even label the different "bars" as your favorite bars to go to or make their signature drinks. Make it fun! Turn your home into a bar crawl or club quarantine!

4. Group of your closest friends. 

All that matters. It does not matter to have every person you know there. Those who you want to be there and who just as equally want to be there for you will be. Those who are the ones you find in your corner and to be your biggest supporters are the ones who you should want there. No more is necessary I promise. Having a small group of your best friends to celebrate with makes it that much better and will make your entire birthday.

5. Drinking games. 

One of my favorite things to do with my friends. Playing drinking games is a super fun way to let loose and get to the messy and loud part of your night. This is when you'll exchange the best laughs and make the most of a COVID birthday. I suggest picking your top 3 favorite games and start with those and work your way to more if needed. My go to games are beer pong, flip cup, and ring of fire! What are yours?

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.

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.
