Not doing anything for your 21 birthday...

It's okay, I'm a total loser as well! My parents are throwing a family brunch for my 21st birthday. Aunts, uncles and cousins. After that, we're off to Cali for a 3 week road trip.

While I guess that I'm still "doing something", it's all with the family. No "partying" or "Vages trip" with friends.

 

My parents and the rest of my family were really keen for me to have a party for my 21st. But I didn't want one at all. In the end I managed to convince my mum that it would be a waste of money for her to spend it all on a party. Instead I blagged her that I'd rather just have the money for a holiday, which she was more than happy to compromise with. So instead of a party, I got railroaded into going to a family meal, which was fine! I just hate being the centre of attention.

 

I didn't do anything for mine either.

 

There is nothing significant about turning 21 in the UK - except you get the full minimum wage.

 

Robotman, I can't suggest either way how you define a "good" birthday from a "bad" birthday or in your words a "pathetic" one.

Ultimately, it's your birthday so you do what you want to do. I don't need to suggest what that might because I expect you might already know what you want in your ideal world. What would you like to do though, if you could choose anything?

I'm not 21 yet, but I've had my 18th which probably isn't too different in significance, I didn't do anything for it at all.

I really understand where you are coming from in terms of the friends thing. I don't feel I have anyone I could invite either. The guy I consider my best friend, had his birthday in Feb and I didn't get invited. I know he did something because of posts on instagram with his other friends.

Maybe us loners should do something! Haha (*hug*) :lol:

 

Can this loser join you losers in doing something?

 

I had a big 21st birthday party at my church with a lot of church people and friends. It was kind of weird. My dad gave me a plaque with his prayer for me on it, and my pastor anointed me with holy oil.

 

I ordered pizza, lava cakes and drank mikes hard while sitting in my dorm room with my suitemates. The lava cakes and my suite mates were the best part of the night

 

Mine is coming in 5 days and I have no idea what to do. If I'm lucky enough I might go to the movies and see X-men, if not then I'll stay home and do nothing. Quite a miserable plan right.

 

I didn't do anything, I don't really see the Birthday to be special to be honest

 

My 21st birthday, I stayed home and hung out with my family. Besides that I had no friends to go out with so....I am not a drinker anyways so my birthday was full of non alcoholic beverages hahah.

 

While I like the occasional drink night (like once every 3 months), I've never been the party type! Drinking with a couple of good friends is the best way to drink!

 

XMEN sounds pretty awesome if you ask me.....

 

Pfft, I didn't do anything for mine and I never really do anything for any of my birthdays. My cousin got on my case for not drinking on my 21st birthday, but I just ignored her. It's my life, I'll do it like I please!

 

Wanted to have a birthday doing nothing but my mom told me she wants me to have a party with my family which I didn't want but was forced into it . >.< then on top of that she asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said a wii u and she told me your a woman you need to think about stuff better that women should like . :tantrum:

Guess I can't really enjoy my birthday all i want is a damn cake and to do nothing and maybe play a new game system but no I can't get that Life is a bitch even on birthdays :tantrum:

wanting to do nothing on your birthday is a great thing it's your birthday you should do what you want please enjoy it for me please looking from what you wrote you and I were born on the same day 21 and share the same month lol

 

I think birthdays are abit overrated.. On my 21st I just went out and bought myself a music CD

 

It's an over rated birthday IMO like any birthday. Just enjoy it however you see fit and don't feel pressure for it to be anything other than what it is another day
