Shameless Self-Advertisement

I just need a second to document how amazing my birthday was…

On February 2nd, I turned 19. Nothing special, right? Except this year, the International Competition of Collegiate A cappella, in which I was competing, was also on February 2nd. Now, the a cappella group that I am a part of, Priority Male, had been working our asses off just to get have a shot to move onto the semi-final competition in California. Well, it turns out that our hard work paid off, because we not only move onto semis, but we took first place by an extremely large margin. To make it even better, the other group to advance was our sister group and best friends, The Pitchforks. As if that wasn’t enough, an arrangement that I co-wrote won best arrangement and our choreographer one best choreography. Then, after all of the tears on stage, we had to sing our victory encore and I was lucky enough to have the solo. I probably sounded like absolute shit because I was half crying, but it doesn’t matter. It was literally the best birthday gift I could have been given. Then, all of the groups from the competition came to one house and we had an amazing party that I am going to call my birthday party. Oh, and Avi and Kevin from Pentatonix came. Like I said before, they are the coolest, most talented, and most down-to-earth people you will meet. So yeah, that was my birthday. Now back to normal life (and two months of prep for ICCA Semis! Leggo!!!)
