How Should You Celebrate Your Birthday This Year?

You need to escape this year! So get out of here and go out to sea on a Caribbean cruise. There's no cooking and no cleaning, just swimming and drinking and sinking your toes deep into the golden sand of the Caribbean coast. You can celebrate for at least three solid days and pretend the real world doesn't exist, at least right up until the ship docks.

You enjoy the epic soul-searching that comes with a night spent outdoors. Indulge your love of nature this year by treating yourself and your special someone to a quiet and chill night of camping. Hike to your favorite spot by day and spend the night cuddled up under the stars, searching for constellations.

Las Vegas, that is! Pack your bags and head to the biggest party in the US. You can bring your friends or go alone and make brand-new friends. Create a whole new identity and make your birthday last all week long if you want to! Las Vegas is the only place that can keep up with someone like you, so go on and get crazy this year.

You do enough already. Take this day for yourself and tell everyone else to bug off. You won't be looking at your phone or answering any emails. You're staying in bed with a pint of ice cream and a bottle of wine, and if anyone wants to join you, they can't come in without a bag of weed.

Preferably at a buffet--your entire life is over the top, so your birthday needs to be equally ridiculous. It's time to gather the squad, don the finest suits and gowns Goodwill is carrying this week, and dine on the finest shellfish and cheesy biscuits.
