Question for the network. How do you celebrate birthdays here? Do you mark it based on the days back home, or the date here? I guess I'm trying to figure out how I should count.

Also, if anyone has any good names for cats, I guess I'm open to suggestions. She's a girl, if that helps.

One of my classmates is talking about organizing something and given who it is I'm a little nervous, honestly

Have you celebrated yours here yet?

[dereban]

If they're doing that, maybe you should talk to them? It's your birthday, you're supposed to enjoy it.

I have.

[numbertwohero]

He means well. And he's probably right. I do kind of keep to myself more than I guess I should

What did you do for yours?

[dereban]

Keeping to yourself isn't always necessarily a bad thing.

[ spoken as someone who's done that ]

I just had a small party. Nothing too big.

[numbertwohero]

Kind of is in a place where not having contact with other people can literally kill you. I'm definitely not going to suddenly be the life of the party, but I guess I should try more

Did you plan it yourself and invite people over?

[dereban]

That's true, but that doesn't mean you should force yourself to do things you don't.

And yeah. Better to plan these things yourself.
