I.HAVE.NO.FRIENDS.HERE.NOW.
Moving away from my hometown meant that I had to leave friends behind. Moving to where I go to college means that when summer comes, all my college friends go home to their families, leaving me here all by myself with my parents and my mom's cat. HOORAY FOR ME. And, the few friends I do have here decided to go on vacation like normal people do during the summer. So nevertheless, I worked a 4-hour shift and my parents took me out to dinner. Talk about being an adult now right??
Also, my theory is that if it wasn't for Facebook, 95% of your friends would not even know when it's your birthday. Wanna know how that's proven? People you are friends with on Facebook but have never met once write "Happy birthday(!)" on your wall, which of course since they were nice enough to venture onto the homepage and see that someone on their friends list had a birthday and they took a mere 5 seconds to type that in that "write on their timeline here" box means that you have to thank them, even though you don't know them. And why am I friends with people I have never met on Facebook? It's called I-was-a-freshman-in-college-last-year-and-you-get-friended-by-anyone-in-your-class-on-Facebook. And by that little rant theory doesn't mean that I'm not happy that people write on my Facebook wall for my birthday. I'm just speaking the truth.
What is even worse is when your close friends who happened to not venture to Facebook on the day of your birthday have no idea that it's your birthday, thus not wishing you a happy birthday and makes you feel like crap and possibly begin to think of how close of friends you really are with that person. Ouch.
And another thing that makes your friendless birthday not the greatest is when you can't get the one thing that you want for your birthday that every other person on the Earth got for Christmas, which was 7 months ago, besides you- a NEW PHONE. To everyone who thinks I am spoiled... NEWSFLASH. I DON'T GET EVERYTHING THAT I WANT. I've been wanting and talking about a new phone since last year. Thank you Android for making a crappy prototype phone in 2010 which is currently suffering a slow and painful death in my presence. And why can I not get a new phone? My parents won't pay for it nor do they have the money to pay for it. POINT PROVEN. And I could use the money I got for my birthday from my parents and grandparents to buy the new phone. That's not the issue. The issue is that until Dad can afford to buy himself a new phone, I can't get a new phone. AND I am a lovely college sophomore that needs to pay for textbooks. Bye bye birthday money, nice knowing ya.
And that is my birthday rant for today. And I know I haven't posted in four days, but that's because nothing meaningful has been going on.
Also too in conclusion, I am thankful to have had another birthday. And I am also thankful to those who wished me a happy birthday either on Facebook or by text. The reason for the Facebook birthday theory was not against anyone, it's just something that has been on my mind and everyone knows that it is true, but no one wants to admit it. I just felt that it went well with what I was writing about today. I love you all <3
But hey, that's just me.
