It seemed like only yesterday a freshman Finn was crooning his way into our (and Rachel's) hearts on Glee. 

But, before anyone could yell "it's a wrap" for Cory Monteith's tenure as a high schooler at William McKinley, the boy-faced thesp geared up for another major milestone—his birthday, which he celebrates today.

And we have to say, it looks pretty good on him.

The Glee star, who plays a high school senior on the Fox musical-dramedy, is turning the big 3-0 today. That's right folks, 30. 

And he seemed to the make the most of the last year of his 20s. 

Leading up to his birthday, Monteith took his onscreen romance off-set, sweeping costar Lea Michele off her feet (and whisking her away to Coachella and beyond).

But that wasn't all the actor was up to. 

Monteith continued to rock out with his band Bonnie Dune, smooched up Smash's Megan Hilty at the GLAAD Media Awards and spoke his mind when it came to supporting issues in the LGBT community. 

While we don't have any details just yet on how Monteith will ring in his birthday, something tells us he's going to party.

Let's just hope he doesn't party too hard.

Happy Birthday, Cory!
