My 19th birthday has just passed on December 30th and it wasn't really one to remember. I don't understand what it is with 19th birthdays but they aren't exciting. I don't have a legal checkpoint to cross off on my journey of life, and I still have another year to fear being another victim of teen pregnancy. However, with any birthday I have an incredibly long and mostly fictional list of gifts I would like. So here are 12 things I want for my 19th birthday.

1. An ultimate shopping spree

If only I had money.

2. Breakfast In Bed

It feels good to be served on your special day.

3. Concert

I have no preference but I would like to be front row.

4. Fancy Dinner

I'm talking the whole nine yards.

5. Makeup

Most 19 year old girls would agree with me.

6. Vanity Mirror

Good lighting is very essential

7. Spa trip

Nails done, hair done, everything did.

8. iPhone 7

I still have yet to hop on the bandwagon.

9. Textbooks

To be realistic for a moment.

10. A trip to the beach

Having a December birthday in Iowa makes this much needed.

11. Polaroid Camera

I see they're coming back in style so I want to join in on the trend.

12. MONEY

The best gift of all.
