Birthday Blues...

While most people get excited when birthdays are arriving, I just get totally freaked out!! This time next week I will have turned the big 2-0, meaning I will no longer be classed as a teenager!! (omg nooo!) I know most of you will be reading this thinking 'what is she on about?!' because I understand 20 is not exactly old, not time to sign up for a free OAP bus pass just yet, nor be going to the salon for a 'blue-rinse'...but to me it sounds so old! I wish I could be Peter Pan and stay young forever (sigh- don't we all!)

The best part of a birthday!!

It really scares me how quickly each year comes around, and as the years add up how much more tackling situations we get faced with! To me, growing up is probably my biggest phobia! The thought of getting older, moving out, making my own life and settling down are just a few of the things I fear most! Also, I'm not sure if it's just me but birthdays are far less exciting as the years add up- with birthday lists and birthday presents getting smaller and smaller too (not to say that I'm not appreciative!!).

Therefore, I will be doing my best to ensure that my last week as a teenager is a fun-filled one and to try and turn this negativity into a good thing! Getting older is inevitable, therefore I must try and enjoy it I guess :-) Although, I think I will always be a teen at heart; I'm even going as far as telling people I am turning "twenteen NOT twenty"!!

The Cardiff vs Swansea University varsity will kick off my fun-filled week if last year was anything to go by- fuelled by friends, laughter and possibly a bit of alcohol!! Then on to the weekend where I will be celebrating with my friends in Bath with a few cocktails as we dance the night away!! Here's to hoping this week will be a good one, making sure I get through those birthday blues!!!

Cocktails=the best way to mark a celebration!

How did you celebrate your birthday?
Do you have the same phobia of growing up as me?! I'd love to hear!
