The last 2 weekends have been some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. Last weekend, my parents took me out to dinner but worked out a nice little surprise and my buddy Eric ended up coming along. Oh yeah, he got me a SNES. A SUPER NINTENDO, WHAAAA?! We literally played Mortal Kombat the whole night. Then the next day (my actual birthday) we hit the Chelsea Piers driving range and went to Big Daddy’s where a candle was put in my sandwich and I was sung to very operatically.

This weekend, Eric further cemented himself in the hall of fame of birthday-dom. He threw me a sick surprise party at Heartland Brewery and then a bunch of us ended up hanging out back at my dorm. What a night. A little sad a few people couldn’t make it, but I love my friends and family to death. My parents were in on the whole thing!
