I say rubbish not because I think I'm getting old and stuff but there isn't really much to look forward to. Yes there is learning how to drive but in this time of everybody having next to no money it's ridiculously expensive. At least for girls they get their sweet 16 and it opens a whole world of things... You all know what I'm talking about and I dont want to go into detail. But at 17 all that is over with, there is no major things that makes your 17th special... It sucks! you cant drink legally, you cant really get away with being a child and you're stuck in limbo. You want to go out and drink and be independent but your parents can still operate a lot of rule over you.
However I am still looking forward to my 'Return of the Moustache' themed party and Tom coming down and just a whole lot of loveliness!
Lots of things have happened good and bad in my year of being 16 and I thought I would share the 10 most significant:
1. I found Thomas (our first kiss was on my 16th birthday and he asked me out on the 21st of feb.
2. I've lived the year with my dad terminally ill... This is amazing as the doctors didn't think he'd live even that long
3. I finished by GCSE's with 2A's and about 8B's
4. I started Churston Ferrers 6th Form
5. I got a double bed (I am still very happy about this!)
6. My god-mother had a stroke
7. I have spent the year with a lot of family visits and a lot of love
8. I worked around 30 hours a week in the summer and loved every second of it
9. I got rejected by McDonalds
10. I made a lot of wonderful new friends and lost some iffy ones!
