Birthday Blues - away from home!

All of the cards I got to open on my 19th birthday at uni.

I don't know whether you guys are in the same boat as me, but I am a March baby. Therefore, just like other years, my birthday has always fallen in the centre of a school term so I'm used to having to spend the day at school before I come home and celebrate my birthday. But for the firs time, I was actually away for my birthday at university!

I was dreading it, but my flatmates made my birthday great! I enjoyed every second of it! They threw a surprise party for me when I got home from university with presents and a collection of photos of us all and they also posted embarrassing photos and videos of me on social media for my birthday!

I video messaged my family from my halls, which wasn't the same but as good as it gets. I took all of my cards to uni so I could at least open something from home, but I really did enjoy spending my 19th birthday with great people.

I love fish (and am a fishkeeper myself) so my flatmates made me a sea themed cake! And it tasted amazing!

We then went out, dressed as the Spice Girls for the themed night at the student nightclub. My birthday was a Monday, so it's student tradition (like a religion!) to go out and we celebrated my birthday! My flatmate, who has never gone to a club before and doesn't usually drink alcohol, came out especially for my birthday which made it even better!
