When you were 17. - Page 4

Drank Skyy vodka and Bud Light. Ate more Adderall than food. Smoked Djarums and looked like a pansy doing it. Applied to college as a pre-pharmacy major because it was the cool thing to do. Had a shitty Azn girlfriend that I didn't deserve. Did not get laid.

Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. And started the process of messing up my A Levels because of it.

I was a strung out goth kid.

what did your hair look like?

Like my avatar but spikier and longer

Smoked weed.
Worked at the beach.
Tried to get laid a lot, failed mostly.
Got straight A's in school.

I graduated high school early when they still allowed you to do, started taking college courses. After class I would sneak back into my old high school to have lunch with my girlfriend since her parents didn't let me see her. I knew where to enter the school so no one would notice me. No one by my gf knew I was no longer a student there.

Shortly after that, my girlfriend moved out of her home and into mine with my family and I was the envy of all my friend's for living with my gf at at age, even just having a girlfriend really since all my friends were nerd-virgins. I didn't have to work, had a nice car, and did well in school. It was a good time that was very care-free.

Was finishing up at prep school and graduating. Worked all summer at the old May Company deparment store, mostly selling men's and boy's clothing. Completed my first semester at UCLA and started my second. Began teaching myself Greek.

I love Rocko's Modern Life.

When I wuz 17 I had purple drank and it made me higher than the sky.

I'm 17 now

Learning why people enjoy drinking, having a great summer, making some new friends I'll never forget already.
Dressing better every few months.
Stressing about exams and the future, about university.
Clunge-wise I'm always scoring better... but I'm really hoping one of these will work its way out into an actual relationship, I'm tired of flitting fights with romance.
Learning more about who I am. Being in your late teens is brilliant, regardless of the constant struggles for maturity when it suits you and all the change and stress there is to deal with.

I can't wait for more independence however, and the new challenges that will bring.

Had just started partying, had just started following politics, read a lot of poetry and non-fiction, played a lot of video games. Essentially, it was my first year of greatness.

I'm 17 and getting ready for college (Middlebury College). My prep is currently touring Europe (Paris last week, Amsterdam now, London soon) drinking lots of good beer and wine and clubbing from midnight to dawn.

Pretty damn sweet. It's a good way to unwind after four years where I was the overachiever type.

Sounds like you had a really rough upbringing.
