Turning 21

In february I turned 21! I was worried that turning 21 in Europe wouldn’t be as big of a deal as it is in the United States but it was perfect. I woke up early that morning to find my beautiful friend Danielle in my kitchen with a birthday pastry! It was a wonderful start to my day. I didn’t have class that day so I spent it relaxing, which was exactly what I wanted. In the evening Danielle came back over and she, Cara, and I went to get take out. While we were waiting for our food, Cara “had to go skype her mom about something important” so Danielle and I waited for the food. When we arrived back at the apartment, I noticed Joe’s and Antoine’s shoes near the front door so I assumed they came over. But apparently I didn’t notice all the other shoes because our kitchen was full of my friends! Danielle and Cara cleverly crafted a surprise party for me! The best part: they had four different flavors of this ice cream cake from my childhood. Who would have thought that my 21st birthday would be filled with tea and cakes. It was the perfect birthday, thanks everyone!
