Goodbye to my teenage years; Me at 17!

So I just wanted to start by saying thankyou everyone who has been reading this little series, I get about 100+ Views a post which is amazing ! Leave me some feedback either on Twitter or in the comments <3 (Cause I know a lot of you come from my twitter followers haha)

So!

Me and allyssa at my 17th Birthday :D

Yup she came all the way to pmac just for my bday :D

So 17 was a HUGE!!! and I mean, HUGE year for me!

• I got my first full-time job
• I got my first real boyfriend
• I had my first car accident 
• I got accepted into University!
• Grade 12

Pretty exciting eh?
As you can see, the closer to my age now that we get, the more things I begin to remember! ;)

So right after I turned 17 is when I got my job at the visitor centre, the summer between grade 11 and grade 12.
It was a great job and ended up working ther for a total of 3 summers, and it was totally great! I loved that job and I had so much fun with everyone who worked there! Carrie and Brooke (in 2009), you guys made that job awesome ! And Cheryl too of course, my awesome boss!
not being there this year I actually really miss it!
I learned a lot about talking to people and costomer service, to the point where I am pretty much a master of pretending to care about what strangers have to say to me ;) hahahah, only joking! well half joking, sometimes I really don't care! but sometimes people do have some pretty awesome things, or stories, to tell!

I also started grade 12 , which was huge! GRade 12 was by far the best year of high school for me. alot of the people who had bullied me, had graduated and things were a lot easier at school. I think that everyone in my grade too, just all started getting along. It was like we were all sick of high school and we all silently agreed that we should just all get along for the last year. For the most part everyone did, I mean there is always drama but it was a much more relaxed year!

I was also accepted into University which was AMAZING. One of the best feelings of my life! And I have loved Uvic for the most part, great school, not too hard to get into, and not *overly* expensive! but still pretty expensive, compared to a college haha.

I also got my first boyfriend. DUN DUN. Well, first real boyfriend haha. As almost everyone knows I dated greg for..about 5 months? I think.
I wont talk about it too much just kinda...out of respect? hahaha.
but it was a really good experiance...? for me anyways :D and I'm lucky enough that me and him are still good friends. I think im like the only person I know who is still on speaking terms with their high school boyfriend haha. But ya, I learned a lot, and it was...ya it was good :) I wont say anymore haha.

I also had a pretty life changing experiance, I was in a car accident. Hit loose gravol on the side of the road, I don't remember it happening at all, but they found me in the ditch. They say it wasn't my fault so everyone just shush haha.

awwww poor emily.

I had a really really bad brain contusion, which is like a concussion but..worse and lasts a lot longer. It made it impossible for me to go to school for awhile and my poor physics mark completely dropped because I was only able to do half days of school for about 2 months afterwards, and since it happened in march that didn't leave much of the year left, sadly.

Well! I think that is all for now...
yup.
I think so

That was 17!
It was a great year and I learned TONS and the whole car accident thing definitly made me rethink my priorities!

LOVE YOU ALL
M
