My idea or way to celebrate my birthday is to have a party with my friends. I'm at this age when I don't really want to spend my birthday with my relatives or my parents, so I just ask my friends to throw me a party so we can simply enjoy ourselves and the time we're spending together. Besides my friends at this party, I would like to have some food, my favorite food like pizza or maybe sushi, and also zero coke.
