I’ve always been the person who looks forward to their birthday, not for the cake, not for the attention, but because it is a time when everyone is together and more often than not in a decent mood. Being my second year in college, and my birthday being on a Friday I wanted to make the most out of it.
My birthday was on Friday, but I had plans with my family for the day so my friends and I decided to have a little get-together on Thursday. On Thursday, I spent my morning in class so it was definitely a challenge to get in the celebratory mood early. Yet, being able to relax and watch movies for a few hours made it a lot easier. My friends and I got dressed up and spent hours hanging out, laughing, and making some key memories. They bought me a cake and we spent some time taking photos so I could make my post on Instagram with my girls. I believe it was finally 2 a.m. when I made it back to my dorm and was able to lay down.
Friday was easily one of the best days. I had to wake up early to go home and after having a long night, it was rough. However, I was able to go home, see my family, and get ready for a wonderful evening. As my gift, I was given tickets to see Carly Pearce at the House of Blues Boston, and it is an understatement to say that I was excited. My mom, stepdad, little sister, and I were heading to Boston to watch one of my favorite artists. Once again I was dressed up and ready for the night. The concert was amazing, and it was full of emotions, but I was able to sing my heart out and celebrate my birthday in a way that I couldn’t be more grateful for. Carly Pearce was only my second concert ever, and the fact that it was my birthday made it so much better.
I got to spend my birthday in my favorite way possible and it made turning 20 a thing I was happy about. I had my favorite dinner, two birthday cakes, a trip to Boston, a concert, and my friends and family who made so many memories with me!
