Many of you know I recently celebrated my 25th birthday on this past April Fool's Day. It was a blast turning 25 and unlike most, I'm actually excited about my year of being 25! Everyone calls your 25th year the "Quarter-Life Crisis." I don't see the point in that, honestly. I'm a big proponent of positive thinking and that your thoughts and words dictate your life. Why would I want to label a year of my life as a crisis? Instead, I'm calling it the quarter-life triumph. I don't know if there's something I necessarily want to "triumph" over, but I do know it's going to be an excellent year and I have little goals to accomplish along the way. One thing I wish everyone could experience everyday is the amount of love and happiness they experience on their actual day of birth. People come out of the wood-work to wish you a happy birthday. I think I heard from people that I haven't talked to since the second grade, folks that I didn't even knew remembered my name. But, nonetheless, between the phone calls/emails/tweets/facebook messages and posts/emails, I received a lot of birthday lovin'.
My birthday celebrations were simple, yet crazy...just how I like it! My most favorite part was having dinner with 8 of my closest girlfriends at a charming restaurant called Tonic in downtown DC. Being surrounded by my friends meant a lot to me, and it made me realize how grateful I am to have such amazing, encouraging friends in my life. I think it's safe to say that it is hard meeting women that you want to be friends with - us girls can get so caddy and competitive. But being at dinner with all of my friends, both from Dickinson and people I've met here in DC just meant a lot to me. After dinner, we went to my most favorite place in Dupont - Lucky Bar! I love Lucky Bar, it's my favorite place. It's just so much fun there and everyone has a good time dancing there. Not to mention the eye candy can be plentiful :). All in all, I felt like my birthday was a ton of fun. We danced till 2 am and had a crazy good time!
So thanks to all of my friends and family that made my birthday so special! Cheers to an amazing year ahead of us!
