Tomorrow on May the 12th at 11:57 PM I will enter my last year of teenage hood (aka its my 19th birthday). A little sigh of relief, a little sadness. As a pre-teen, movies and TV shows definitely gave me a false idea of being a teenager: I would be beautiful and popular and have a boyfriend, have the coolest car, and well I guess just be "perfect". Looking back my expectations were sort of hilarious, but I'm not sad about how my teen years have been. Seriously I have the best friends a girl could ask for who help make the teen years playful and fun like they are supposed to be. Late night talks, going to the grocery store in the middle of the night to get junk food, running around a field on the first day of summer with sparklers, and skinny dipping are all the things that have made my teenage years so special. I am excited to go on with the next year of my life which will contain: graduating high school (ironically tomorrow is my last day of high school), going to Italy, and going to college. So, happy birthday to me lol! I want to make the absolute most out of my last year of teenagehood!
I'm not having a birthday party this year because I'm having a graduation party next weekend. And I'm not expecting many gifts either, but here is my wish list (emphasize the WISH part lol)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, darling. Don't worry, 19 is a good age (i guess, I'm 17 and it sucks, all my friends are a year older than me and they can enter to clubs and I always have to arrive earlier, before the VIP has arrived, haha).

Happy Birthday!
My cousin went to Italy for a year when she was 16 and had a BLAST, so I'm absolutely positive you'll tons of fun.
I had a lot of those same expectations, but I've figured out that I'll have to put most of them on hold (and I still have 2 more years...oh joy)
ps: I was so eyeing those headphones on fred flare. and someone better get you cupcakes! it's basically a bday requirment.
Happy Birthday! If I were you I'd give up all those other gifts and just push for the Louboutins! Hope it is a wonderful last teen birthday!
happy birthday, modern marie!
i'm so happy you included "smells like teen spirit" in your playlist! NIRVANA is my favourite band!
Happy Birthday darling! high school is much overrated, college will be a wonderful experience for you. Also, whats your italy itinerary? I visited rome, venice, florence & milan last summer, but not for nearly long enough:/
xoxo, lauren
happy birthday!
i also harbored the most erroneous ideas possible about adolescence. because of saved by the bell, i automatically assumed that my entire high school career would be spent hanging out by my locker in cool clothes, looking for a date to the next school dance.
and ditto on the jason mraz album. i have a deep and unnaturally profound love for anything and everything that has to do with jason mraz.
Happy Birthdayy :]
your wishlist is amazing, wish hard!

My birthday is really close to yours, its was on Saturday, the 10th. Have a really great birthday!
