My life is amazing. Let me get that straight first. God has blessed me with opportunities most people don't even get to touch in their lifetime. And as of right now, I'm only 17! I mean seriously.....what the heck. Last time I posted, I was graduating from high school. I don't know how I managed to do that. I have a lot of homework and I'm really tired, so I'm going to make this post relatively short and sweet. But basically this post is a record of all of the amazing unbelievable things I've done while being 17. And tomorrow I'll be 18. It's so weird. I know I'm still really young, but to me, 18 is old. My teenage years have flew by.(sorry about the cliche) So anyways....here's a lovely list of all the things I've done in the past 365 days. Which by the way have gone by way too fast. I'm going to blink and be 80. It's not fair! I will shut up before I go on a rant. *le' sigh*

And here I am. There's been little things that have happend in between. Friendships, books I've read, music and movies I've seen and listened to. But overall, it really has been a fantastic year. I'm throughly grateful for this time I have had. And honestly, as much as I hate getting older, I am really excited to see what God is going to put in front of me. I always look back in awe of how God has moved in my life, which utterly fascinates me when I think about all the things I don't know are going to happen in the future! I do get deep sometimes. lol I think I'm going to shut up and get started on my music theory homework, but here's to you 17 for all of your awesomeness, and here's to you 18, for all of your potential!
I love my life.
