I turn 19 today. Yeah, I am young. I am the youngest one out of all my friends here at college. I’m not posting this in order to get attention for my birthday, rather I am posting it to share my thoughts on birthdays and whatnot.
It is weird having a birthday at college. Last year I had a day off and went home to see Ben Folds live on my 18th birthday. Weird looking back on past birthdays, and realizing how fast time has gone by!
I have a test in british fiction tomorrow, and a lot of creative writing poems to catch up on, so I can’t really fuck around today and slack off or celebrate. It’s not a big deal though, I’ve never really been big on birthdays. I will allow myself to be a bum this weekend in order to celebrate!
It’s more of reality kicking you in the face. It is my last year in the teens, now that is a bit scary! Some of my friends are turning 20 and even 21 soon. Makes me feel slightly out of the loop!
Today is a lazy/study day so I don’t have anything “new” to share with you guys. Sorry that the blog has been lamer than usual ever since I returned to college…I’m still trying to balance school/social life with the blog. Even after blogging for a year I am still learning!
So yeah, cheers to my 18th year, and lets hope my 19th year is a good one!
Here are some less traditional “birthday” songs…

happy birthday!
happy birthdayy!
Happy Birthday again, Will! Here, here on the balancing blogging with everything else. A couple of my friends have started blogs, but they’ve become defunct bc it’s just tough to keep at it. A blog has to be a love letter to something – which is what yours is. Take breaks when you need them, school matters most, but do know that we’ll keep checking back! xo.
happy birthday! (ha you think 19 is bad, try turning 20!!) i just wanted to let you know that i love your blog. you have excellent music taste
.
Happy Birthday! i am so glad that you are talented enough to balance out school and one of the best blogs EVER! Always lovely to be enlightened by your music tidbits….what would this world be like without you!
Happy belated birthday, sorry I’m just a wee bit late. But just found your blog a few weeks ago & am very impressed!!! -From a fellow music blogger, Trey-
-sidenote- I also can relate to balancing college classes with maintaining a steady blog (even after a year). But I decided to grab a few others to post with me & its thus far worked leaps & bounds.
