Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday dear meeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
Happy birthday to ME! Yay!
Did I not mention it’s my birthday today? Haha, well it is! Things have been so busy for me that I’d forgotten it was coming up!
Well, today I am 25 years old. 1/4 of a century. I’d like to say that it has all gone by so fast, but really, I kind of feel 25. Granted, I am no where near where I’d imagined I’d be at this point in my life. When I was younger I always thought I’d be married by 25, and having children when I was 27/28. Or at least have a job… HA.
I guess law school tends to put things off in life? Just a different path than I imagined, but I don’t believe in regrets or mistakes in life, everything we’ve been through makes us who we are and I can’t wait to be older looking back on this part of my life… hopefully it will make sense then.
But in 25 years I feel like I’ve done quite a lot. Most of it has been spent in school… but beyond that I’ve played tons of sports, spent many summers at camp, gone on sailing trips and lived on boats, had many different friends, gone on some great trips with my family and then with college friends, moved across the country alone for college, got a degree in marine biology, finished 2 years of law school, ran a marathon and kept a fish alive for over 2 years. Ha, had to throw that last one in there.
Sometimes it’s nice to look back at how you’ve changed over the years, and all the great things you’ve accomplished, and what better day to do that than a birthday?
For your entertainment (okay, for mine) here are some birthdays from the past:
1 Year:
7 years (?? Kindergarten):
Absolutely No Idea:
Oops! How did that get in there…?
16 or 17 years old (dress as weird as you can ice skating party…)

21 years old:
24 years old:
Has your life timeline gone as you imagined?
25 feels old but I don’t even feel like an adult yet… Anyone else?
