history: One fond memory I have was my 6th birthday party. I was on my way home from school and my mom told me she had baked a cake and got the present. But I could only open it after I was done with homework.  When I got to my room all of my friends from school were there.  We ended up ditching homework and playing games the whole evening. My 6th birthday party was unexpected.  My mom had picked me up from school and said I needed to finish homework before I could open my present.  So I went to my room but when I turned on the lights all my friends from school were there hiding and shouted "SURPRISE".  We ditched homework and played games the rest of the night. That sounds like a really fun and joyful surprise.  Young birthdays are amazing.
current: Definitely.  Aside from my 21st my birthdays have been a lot more low key since then lol
next: Yeah, after 21 they really are pointless.  Most of my birthdays, I enjoy a good dose of work all day, lol.
