Recently, I just celebrated my born day and I thought it would be a good time for everyone to know all about the incredibly free shit you can get on your birthday as well.
I love celebrating my birthday because I always felt it was the start of a new year. It was a start to do something new, become a better person, and do something nice for yourself. I’ve always said that New Year’s Resolutions were a waste of time and that people should do birthday resolutions instead.
Birthday resolutions, IMHO, will give a person a whole year to figure out what they need to do and where they need to go. It can also determine if you’re in a better position or if you have a lot of room for improvement. What better way to look back at your previous year and determine where to go.
I wrote a blog post about it before and I think you should check it out. You might learn a thing or two and figure out why you need to stop promising to go to a gym you won’t step foot inside past Valentine’s Day. And plus, New Year’s Resolutions, guys…well, they’re kinda lame. No one really keeps them, and they’re just a stuck on a list of things to do but you’ll never get around to them. Why waste your own precious time like that?
You might be thinking, ‘Well, what’s the difference between New Year’s Resolutions and birthday ones?’ Easy. You can track your progress by how you were at your last birthday. Did you finally pay down/off that debt? Did you lose those 15 pounds? Did you save $1K in an emergency savings?
Did you manage to post three times a week on social media? Did you take a long-needed social media break? Did you call your mother like you promised you would? Did you start writing letters instead of emails? What did you do between your last birthday and this one that would make a significant impact?
Are things better? Are things worse?
But before alladat…before you get serious for the ‘Gram, before you go all reflecting on lovers and things past, you need to celebrate and celebrate a lot!
Gone are the days where I wanted to go clubbin until the break of dawn. Now I want to do something different for each birthday. It’s my goal to have a birthday different from the years previous. I wanted to go to Catalina this year, but due to time constraints, it wasn’t possible. Hopefully, we’ll be able to go to Catalina sometime later this month.
But what I do like to do is get all the free fish I can for my birthday! And you’ll be amazed at how many free things you can get! I haven’t listed all of them (and trust me, there’s a ton!) but I did list the ones I personally take full advantage of. It’s my born day and I don’t know how many of these I’ll have left so let me take full advantage of all them!!
I have never celebrated my birthday just one day. I always felt one day was never enough to celebrate my birthday. An entire month? Now, that’s more like it. Some of these deals I’m about to tell you, you will actually need to go on your birthday or it’ll expire. Some will give you the entire month to complete and others will only give you a few days.
You would need to sign up for the mailing list for just about all of these items, so I thought you should know that. You might need to show I.D. to prove it is your birthday, tho.
