today's links: coke (not that kind), your 20s and #goals

Links for your ~Friyay~ perusal as everyone’s edging toward the door:

• The 24-Year-Old Coca-Cola Virgin: One millennial's search for the perfectly American, impossibly iconic Coca-Cola experience, from The Eater, and the headline kind of just says it all. The writer is all like “no this isn’t an indictment/investigation on marketing lol” but while reading it, one can’t help but to marvel at just how Coca Cola supremely OWNS our lives at this point.

• This laugh-until-you-cry-but-maybe-just-cry-because-it’s-too-real New Yorker Daily Shout on being a 20-something. (Thanks Yules for reminding me about this!)

• The very important list of tour dates for Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman tour, because goddammit, you guys better think long and hard about whether you're going to allow me to go to this alone.

In closing, If you can’t see the Barack & Michelle first date movie, Southside With You, then let Essence magazine’s October issue give you your required dose of the sheer hotness that is our First Couple. Like, goddamn, they are giving this entire globe some #goals.
