Five Best Things About Being Sweet Sixteen

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
My birthday has just passed (New Years Eve) and I turned 16. I thought I would make a list today about the 5 best things about turning the sweeeeeeeet sixteen:
1) You can drive a car! OK, yes, you do have to have a licensed driver in the passenger seat, but still, I can drive!! Weeeehooooo!
2) You feel more grown up than ever- driving, earning more at work, starting the HSC/VCE, etc.
3) Wage increase! At my job, at every birthday until you are 18, your wage goes up by a dollar an hour, may not sound like much, but there is a big difference between 9 bucks an hour and 10 bucks!!
4) Parents give you a little more freedom. My curfew has been extended by an hour.
4.1) Parents respect you a little bit more, as do almost all adults. 16 is only four years away from the officially grown-up 20, you know!! So start acting more mature!
5) It just sounds great to say it!! "I am 16 years old". Yeah!!!


Sorry about the random postings, I am really short on time and am only posting when I feel inspired to write something. I am going on a week-long holiday tomorrow, so I will probably, nay definitely have something to say about that when I get back!!!

Comment on the best things about being the age you are currently- I wanna hear from you!
Have a great week everyone!
