Well, yes. I'm seventeen. Since that moment i have to answer the question about my age with a phase "I'm seventeen". Not sixteen, but seventeen.

I spent last minute of my seventeenth year watching on second hand on my clock and whispering to myself "Sixteen-sixteen-sixteen-sixteen-SIXTEEN" till the second hand made the last movement in previous day. Since this moment my eighteenth year has begun. Good luck to me.

Can't say that i learnt a lot during my seventeenth year. I still don't know what to do with my life. Then more older i become, then more childish i become. Well, maybe it isn't so bad.

I figured out a lot about friendship. Now i understood, who are my good and true friends. 

I had become more confident and tolerant. And that's feeling good.

But i'm still a bit afraid of being adult.

Happy birthday to me.
