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?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
