MiaKaite: Happy 17th Birthday to me!

How have I been alive for 17 years? I’m almost two decades old. That sounds like a really long time. But in the whole scheme of things it’s probably not that long. Do you think I’ll be getting grey hairs soon? Lol.

So I can get my license now! My test is booked so keep your fingers crossed that I’ll pass!

I got my first car 2 days ago, my mum came into my work and handed me the keys and said "Your cars in the car park."

I was like !?!??!?????

Then I started crying at work.... Oops
This is it, my baby suzuki swift, name suggestions anyone?

I went to The Hub on the Gold Coast with some friends on Thursday, it was a really good night and lots of food was consumed. Here's some photo's

They gave me free dessert for my birthday. And everyone in the restaurant was singing happy birthday to me, soooo embarrassing hahaha.

I’m glad it’s finally my birthday, all year I’ve been stressing about other people’s birthdays and trying to find them the perfect gift. Now I can relax and celebrate. I hate always being the youngest. All my friends call me a baby because they are all 17 and I was the only 16 year old. That's why it sucks to have a birthday so late in the year.

But even though I’m scared of scary movies and get scared easily I still love Halloween. So it’s exciting to have my birthday in the same month as Halloween.

It also means that Christmas is coming soon! Every year around my birthday they start bringing out Christmas decorations and cards out, making me even more excited for the end of the year.

It been an amazing birthday weekend and I am so grateful for all my friends and family, even if I don’t say that enough.

I feel that this year has been different to all my other birthdays. In Australia turning 16 isn’t that big of a deal, turning 17 is, because you get your license and are one year closer to becoming a legal adult.

I think that this next year is going to be a good one. I have so much to look forward to as I come closer and closer to finishing school. Please be good to me 17.

Look at baby Mia!
