I spent my first birthday away from home: 2 , 0 9 5 miles away from my family.
This is a .d.r.e.a.m. for some college students. For me, it was a little bit lonely.
I'm not a big birthday celebrator. It's just another day; nobody did anything to deserve it. We all have one. It's not like MLK day, where he did something grand to earn a holiday.
But still. It's not cool to be lonely on your birthday.
If you're away from home for the first time on your birthday:
*Don't spend time alone. You'll get depressed and cry.
*Find a g o o d friend that makes sure to take you out and tells everyone it's your birthday.
*Don't spend all day doing homework or going to class make ups.
*If it's r a i n i n g , put on some cheerful galoshes.
*Take an extra long birthday shower and nap.
*If your .f.a.m.i.l.y. hasn't called you, they probably think you're off having adventures and celebrating.
Go ahead and call them.
*Go out to eat at any restaurant your little heart desires.
*Eat as much cake and chocolate as you want.
