My Birthday

Last Monday was my birthday. I turned twenty and it feels great to say that I am no longer in my teens. There is really nothing big that happens when you turn twenty. I am just ready for next year when I can turn twenty one. That will be a birthday that I am sure will be fantastic. I did not have any special plans for my birthday, and I had planned on treating it like a normal day.

I woke up and was so excited to check my phone and see that I had received text messages and missed calls from people telling me Happy Birthday. I was also ecstatic to see how many people commented on my Facebook wall. It makes you feel special when you have tons of people showing you attention. It sucks that your birthday only comes one time a year. However, when I get older I am going to be wishing that I will still a teenager.

I ended up going to class as normal and it was amazing not having an 8 am class! This was a major present to me. My friends kept asking me over and over what I wanted to do that night and I had no special ideas. I knew that I wanted to go out to eat, but I did not know where. We ended up deciding on Chilis because it had a diverse menu and a wide range of desserts. I waited for one of my friends to get off work and we ended up getting there around 8:30. As soon as we got there we told our waitress that it was my birthday. Last year, I got a free dessert and a mariachi band sang to me at El Cerro, and I was curious to see what they would do at Chilis. I kept waiting and waiting and I didn’t get anything! I was pissed off. The main reason for going out on your birthday is to get something free and have people sing to you. I was not happy and I know not to ever go to Chilis on my birthday. My friend got me a gift card to Wal-mart, my mom sent me a card, and my boyfriend took me shopping. It ended up being a great birthday but, next year I hope that my birthday is bigger and better!
