This time of year at age 17:
Funny. I don't remember that year too well. Had to flip through a paper journal to formulate a response. I was a freshman at a univeristy in another state, had no direction but thought I was headed someplace, planning on getting a degree in the humanities and marrying a man that was wealthy and in poor health, whom I had been dating for 6 or so months. I was not a gold-digger, and hated the fact that his family threw around money. Didn't like grappling with the fact that he laughed when I informed him I did not like diamonds and that I prefered spending less money. I felt that I had to live up to a new social standard. I took it as a challenge.
*shivers* Thank goodness I'm no longer on that path.
