Happy Birthday to Me!

Guess who turned 24 today and feels really old? This guy. I always love how my birthday falls on Labor Day weekend and recently, during the fall semester of college too allowing for some fun times. All my friends on campus get to celebrate it with me and usually buy me a drink, at least for the last three years. However, this year feels different to me as it seems to be just another day; I had classes and woke up like it was a normal day. Also, I would like to post something on social media but this time around I do not have a good quote or caption. When I was 22, I was able to quote Taylor Swift and when I was 23, I had Blink-182 to reference but this year, there is nothing to go with boring 24. Regardless, I am still excited to enjoy my birthday and have a good time tonight.

Sometimes I ponder why we make such a big deal out of birthday parties and the date itself. I think we just love a good reason to party and to feel appreciated once a year. I love a good excuse to get friends and family together so I understand it. Also, everyone likes to sing the song and get the people they care about presents. I still get my friends presents or a meal because everyone loves food and in regards to the song, I like to spice it up at the end by singing "On Channel Four and Many More!" Let me know below how you feel about birthday parties and if you have had any memorable ones to share with me!

Tonight, I am going to watch the U.S. Open with my teammates and girlfriend to celebrate. It will be a good match featuring Roger Federer and we will be enjoying adult beverages during it. My girlfriend is also super sweet and bought cookies, as well as cupcakes for the occasion. She even grabbed numbered candles to really put the icing on the cake... or cupcakes in this case! I appreciate her so much and I am really excited to mow down on some sweets tonight. The party is at 10 p.m. and I do not want to be late so I have to go. Happy birthday to me, and many more on channel four.
