These days, anything goes, including bank accounts, tattoo parlours, lottery tickets, and voting rights. The world is open to you. Reaching 18 years old? Unquestionably merits a celebration.
You're sure to take tonnes of pictures and videos whether you're having a huge party or spending time with loved ones.
The worst part is that as the party wears on, the lights are extinguished, the gifts are opened, and you're searching through your camera roll for the ideal photo or video to share on social media, you realize something is missing from the captions.
