Not 18

Am I the only one who finds birthdays extremely awkward? It's probably because I hate the attention. What I don't like most is when someone else over hears someone else saying Happy Birthday and they automatically say, "It's your birthday, Happy Birthday!". Yet, I find myself doing that all the time. I feel this is okay if you are friends with a person. But I don't like it when a person puts on a happy face and says happy birthday to a person they don't like. I personally think it is less rude not say anything than to fake a smile and wish someone a happy birthday. I'm just glad that this is the last time I will experience such an awkward school birthday. Starting Fall I will be in a big college where only my friends will notice my birthday.
