Eighteen

Today is my eighteenth birthday!! I'm a legal adult!!!!!! Isn't that actually mind blowing. It definitely blows my mind (and my parents mind!) for sure. People keep asking me how I feel about this big birthday. Honestly, I don't think it'll sink in for awhile. 

I think what excites me the most about turning 18 is for what it means is right around the corner. It means that my last year of high school is almost over, I'm graduating in less than 2 months, and college is right around the corner!! I remember writing my birthday post last year and thinking of how my 18th birthday and all these big milestones seemed so far away. Now they're all right around the corner and I couldn't be more ecstatic. 

Seventeen

Today is my 17th birthday, and naturally my favorite day of the year! Seventeen has hit me a little harder than my previous birthdays. I don't know why, but seventeen just sounds old to me. I think this year it's finally hitting me that I'm not longer a kid, I'm growing up, and it's mind boggling to me that I'll be a legal adult in 1 year. How did I grow up so fast? Where does all the time go? 

Aside from my growing up crisis, I have a good feeling about 17. It's the year I'll find out what college I'm going to attend, It's the year I'll embark on my final year in high school (whoop! whoop!), It's a year where I hope to become closer to God, It's a year where I hope this blog will continue to grow, and it's a year for many new memories to be made. I can't wait to see what 17 has in store for me.
