Hey! So, in honor of I Was Up Half the Night With an Existential Crisis (and, be honest, weren’t we all?), I am celebrating INTERNATIONAL BE 17 YEARS OLD DAY, which is a made-up holiday that I invented just now.
I am celebrating International Be 17 Years Old Day by wearing black eyeliner and listening to Weezer!
Amy is celebrating International Be 17 Years Old Day by dressing all in black and reading Camus!
Tanya is celebrating International Be 17 Years Old Day by having pizza and a chocolate bar for lunch and then instant messaging all afternoon with her boyfriend instead of working!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL BE 17 DAY??
*All actual things I did at age 17 while my peers were binge-drinking in the forest.
whoa, #5! so accurate! #10 + #11 also sum up my entire tween/teenage years.
I don’t want to relive being 17. Mostly because I was one of the kids binge drinking in the forest and trust me, you didn’t want to be there.
Instead, I will relive being…13. And I will listen to the Spice Girls and give myself a makeover in my PJs before I goto sleep. I will be really upset that red lipstick looks so stupid on my 13 year old face, and I will pine for the days when I will be able to wear it and look like a starlet.
Can I just be five and relive She-Ra dolls?
I blame Regan.
i actually did get to relive being six and adoring She-Ra last week, thanks to the power of RED SONJA!!!!
