Young and Sweet, Only Seventeen...

(Prepare for numerous Taylor Swift gifs...)

Today I am seventeen. Big whoop, right? Seventeen is the ordinary middleman in between Sweet Sixteen and Legal Adult Eighteen, so whats so special about it? Some would probably say nothing. Some might even groan at the thought of just ANOTHER year before they're finally 18 and can do what they want.

"Eighteen" isn't about that for me (right now, at least). Sure, I'll be a legal adult - but I'm still going to be living under my parents roof, in my senior year of high school, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to sustain myself on my own by then.

Anyway. Seventeen.

I think this is going to be the best year ever.

I feel like Sixteen was a major year for me. I changed A LOT from the girl I was at fifteen. I'm more confident in who I am and my personality. Sixteen was such an important year for me.

Seventeen, I predict, will be even better. I'm still growing up; changing; learning - but I have a feeling this year will be a little different. Maybe I have this impression from all the people saying "Seventeen was their favorite age ever". Maybe I'm just optimistic. Maybe I'm psychic. Yes, we'll go with that. I'm definitely psychic.

So, I guess we'll see. Goodbye Sixteen, and HELLO SEVENTEEN!
