I am creating a life simulator and at the start of the game the date is randomized. I want to save this date as that will be your birthday and there will be special events surrounding it your whole "life". How do I go about doing this since every game it will be different?

That would be extremely hard to do. It would be an interesting game but I think the game would take about as long as Eternal.

Randomizing a date could be done with 3 Variables: Month; Day; & Year.

At the start of the game just set them to randomize within a range and then display them on your pages as %%MONTH%%/%%DAY%%/YEAR%%

Then you can have whatever happens be related to the value of one or more of them...

I managed to do it all by my lonesome. I already had in place what you said Berk, but to add birthdays I made a new variable. It starts at one. Everytime the day changed this variable increased by one. Its max is 365. Once that limit is reached you better hope you remembered to buy a gift! Thank you for the suggestions. I'll leave this here in case anyone needs it.
