The best way to celebrate your birthday is to do some reflection and to set new goals. Type out a letter to yourself via FutureMe™'s website and choose a date you wish to receive this letter in your email inbox. It could be the next day, next week, one year later, three years later, or even 10 years later. Send it when you are done choosing a date and then the waiting game begins. No harm, have fun writing!

#4 Catch your latest K-drama shows
