MirëMëndez: DNM in Macedonia: My 21st Birthday

After graduation, the next biggest event of the summer was my 21st Birthday. I hosted it at my house in the U District. There was a BBQ, freshly made cake, a whole bowl of Pico de Gallo that everyone helped prepare and lots and lots of friends around to help celebrate. The night began with some cooking and soon evolved into a singing/dancing party. My friends all sang Happy Birthday around 11 and then those of us that were 21 rushed off the The Ave for a few celebratory drinks before coming back to the party. It was a huge success in my opinion, as I've never had so many friends around for my birthday (since it falls on Stampede Weekend we always tried to be out of town) nor have I ever had so much fun hosting. Here are one or two choice photos (more can be found here. Don't worry...nothing outrageous.)
