COLUMN EDITORIAL Every party has a pooper

In college, birthdays no longer most important day of everyone’s year

HELENA HUNT Sta Writer

Sunday was my birthday (and no, despite my manifest vanity, this isn’t a plea for more Facebook well-wishing). I used to look forward to birthdays, counting down the days and weeks to Sept. 20 — usually starting around July 3 each year. When I had to do 200 math problems for homework in the third grade, I reassured myself that each equation brought me closer to that blessed day. I could only endure trips to the grocery store with my mom by lingering in the bakery section, ipping eagerly through the laminated book of Sesame Street and Toy Story cakes. I spent the night of every Sept. 19 tossing and turning, imagining the raptures of the day to come. And then it would come, and I partied hard. I gambled away my life savings at Peter Piper Pizza and de nitely drank the Kool-Aid. I surveyed my mountain of presents — the Hickory dickory dumb price of party admission in those halcyon days — and opened them one by one, savoring the sweet taste of birthday cake and materialism. And that was how birthdays are all your Irving freshman wronged in clock incident life, I imagined.
