What's so special about being 17?

Today is Stella's sweet 17th birthday, and i just want to wish her all the best for her life now and then, yeah.. forever. Happy birthday, girl! Have a super duper sweet 17 :)

And well, i always wondering, what's so special about being a 17 years old girl? Umm, exactly next month, i'll turn to 17, and people like keep asking me "Would you held a sweet 17 party?" or some simple question like "You must be inviting us to dinner, right?". I was just like, "Oh, come on people.. what's so special about it?". I mean like, if people said that sweet 17 things is an once in a life time opportunity, i could say that: don't you realize that every year you've passed you also have once in a life time opportunity? Like if you're 16 now, the next year you won't be 16 again, right? Kinda weird.

For me, being a 17 years old girl means that i have to be maturer, be more stylish *oh, should i notice this one?* and leaving all your teenage habits. That's not fun at all, i guess. Maybe it sounds really bad for me now, but yeah.. sooner or later i'll pass it and i can't avoid it.

The best part about being 17 for me is just spending a good time with people you love. Moreover like they keep greeting you with their big smile and happy for you because you're really grown up now. That's the real celebration in my opinion ;)
