I wouldn't say it was my best birthday, but I remember by 21st birthday distinctly. It was the week of Indoor SUNYAC's, the conference meet for my D3 track team at SUNY Oswego. I knew I'd be running the DMR and 4X4 relays and was excited (we got third in the DMR, the first time I placed at SUNYAC's).
It was a Monday, and that semester I had built a glorious 4 hour nap into my schedule on Mondays. I took that nap. I went to practice, and ate dinner with my teammates. Afterwards, one of my roommates drove me to a gas station where I bought my first legal beer, the greatest in all the land: Guinness. I hung out with my friends and drank one while we did homework and played video games (Pixel Junk Monsters!).
