🏝 Recap of my Survivor-Themed 30th Birthday
Since elementary school, my 30th birthday has been an exciting star on the horizon. I was born on April 30th, 1995, which meant this major milestone birthday was also my *golden birthday*. ✨
I usually throw a party for my birthday, and I always love a theme. But my 30th felt next-level. I knew I wanted to do something BIG.
I toyed with a lot of ideas. TikTok had no shortage of 30th birthday theme ideas, from 13 Going on 30 to Death of My 20s. One of my close friends rented a party bus, and we all bar-hopped around the city for a night. For a while, I thought I was going to hire The Murder Mystery Company (which I originally saw on Shark Tank) to host an interactive night for me and my friends. But eventually, I found myself returning to my forever reality TV obsession - Survivor.
