Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on June 21, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Carter Covington! May your day be filled with more laughs than a Greek fraternity party and fewer awkward moments than Kat Stratford's poetry reading. Your knack for capturing teen angst and humor has given us timeless gems that still make us cringe, laugh, and reminisce about our own high school dramas.

From navigating sorority shenanigans in "Greek" to reimagining Shakespearean sass in "Ten Things I Hate About You," you've proven that teenage chaos is best served witty. Here's hoping your birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought audiences—minus the teen drama (unless that's your thing). Cheers!
