So I just celebrated(well not quite yet) my 22nd birthday three days ago and I encountered the same problem I’ve had for a few birthday years now… I never know what to do for my birthday anymore.
Technically this doesn’t really bother me, as I’m the kind of person who is perfectly satisfied getting my various social network “Happy Birthdays” along with the occasional birthday card and small gift. The problem lies in the number of people who ask me what I’m doing for my birthday lol. Plus if I say “I don’t know” I get a “ooook” kind of stare as if I should’ve answered the question by reaching into my pocket and handing them a flyer for the club in which my party will be going DOWN that coming weekend.
Not to say that I would never have that kind of event for myself but I rarely do many of the things that people my age typically do. I can count on one hand how many times I go clubbing in a year and all of that, although now that I’m typing this I realize that half the events that I don’t frequently attend is because I’m usually broke lol.
Anyways I think I’m hitting that transitional phase when it comes to celebrating birthdays: I’m a little too old to be planning grandiose sleepovers(Those were the DAYS though) and I’m too young to appreciate hosting a house party, either that or I just don’t like throwing them, I haven’t decided yet.
So right now it’s kind of “How does someone in this birthday transition of mine celebrate a birthday?” And Yes I Am sincerely open to suggestions…
*Crickets Chirp*
Pick a cheaper club to be at and let em know! It’s your birthday – don’t worry about being broke… They should be buying one for you! 🙂
(And Happy Birthday!)
Lol thank you! and that’s not a bad idea for next year. I just may try that 😀
