In This Article:

I absolutely love birthdays. Whether it's mine or someone else's, birthdays should be celebrated to the full extent of what they are. It's important to always make the people close to you feel loved every day, but especially on their birthday. I'm really not sure exactly why I started loving birthdays so much, but I always have enjoyed them. Bringing out all the decorations and cards and treating someone as special as they truly are brings me so much joy. The day you were brought into this world is truly a miracle and is a good enough reason to celebrate.

Another year of being alive! 

Giphy

You made it this far! Time to celebrate all your accomplishments!

A simple reason to throw a party

Giphy

Who doesn't love a party in your honor? Celebrating with all your friends is one of the best parts of your birthday!

Self love

Giphy

Treat yourself just because on a random day, but especially on your birthday. Self love is the most important kind of love.

There is a day that is specifically for you

Giphy

You get one whole day out of the year dedicated just to you for just being alive. That is good enough reason for me to love your birthday.

A new year, a new you

Giphy

Something I always do on or before my birthday is make a list of goals I have for myself. Small or big, you have a full year to make a change.

Each birthday is a new memory, so you might as well live it to the fullest!

Giphy

Everyone has a memory from a birthday party in elementary school. Why not keep the fun memories going by living your birthday to the fullest every year?

CAKE

Giphy

Need I say more? Cake, any flavor, shape, or brand, is delicious and SHOULD be eaten on your birthday. Lots of it.

And some more cake

Giphy

Again, cake is delicious. Do not, I repeat do not, skip birthday cake for a "diet." That diet goes out the window on your birthday. Eat all the cake you want.

People have to celebrate you!

Giphy

Embrace all the happy birthdays that are sung to you. This day is all about you, so let people celebrate you because you deserve it.

Presents

Giphy

The thought behind the present is what makes each gift count. If the present is something tangible or just a simple act of someone being there, those people care about you which is a reminder of all the things to be thankful for. Having people stand by you and root for you and care for you is one of the greatest gifts in this world.

Getting pampered!

Giphy

How fun is it that people treat you special on your special day?

Some more cake

Giphy

Cake is one of the greatest gifts of all. Consume all of it.

It's your birthday, you can do whatever you want to do

Giphy

Anything goes. It's your birthday you can cry if you want to

One step closer to reaching your goals

Giphy

This year, I turned 21. I am one year closer to graduating college (woah). I am one year closer to starting my career (also woah).

Celebrating the entire month

Giphy

My birthday may be on September 17th, but I celebrate the entire month of September. I recommend making the whole month a celebration.

Getting so much love from the ones you love

Giphy

People show you all their love on your day. There are so many people who love you and care about you, and your birthday is just another opportunity for them to show you that.

YOU are special

Giphy

Kid President said it best, "You were born to be awesome."

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
