A very merry (un)birthday!

Today would be my unbirthday (referring to Alice In Wonderland, of course) but this past Tuesday it wasn't! I just celebrated my 21st birthday, and oh boy, do I feel old. :p 

It's always been nice to have my birthday around a national holiday because it means about the half the time it's on the extended weekend of Labor Day, so I can relax and not stress about having to go to class. This year, unfortunately, was not the case. Luckily it was my Tuesday classes which, for most engineers, means one or two labs and maybe a lecture. I had both a lab and a lecture, but it was basically still "syllabus" week, so I didn't stress too much.

I think I had more fun the night BEFORE my birthday, than on the actual day, though :p. Since I was in fact turning 21, my 21-year-old friends wanted to take me out to get a drink at midnight, and we decided to have a get-together for a few hours before so I could still celebrate with my non-21-year-old friends. And it was a ton of fun! I got all dressed up and my roommate baked me a cake and everyone sang happy birthday. :) I was really excited because the majority of my MSU friends were there, and my friend volunteered to take pictures all night on his very nice camera. He said he ended up taking over 500 photos! Normally I'm the photographer at all of the events I go to, so I was so happy to finally be IN the photos rather than just taking them. I narrowed it down, and here are a few of my favorites from the night:
