How to be Sixteen

Now that I have completed my first official day of being sixteen, I think it would be appropriate to compile a list of things I did today (well, technically yesterday). So, here are my suggestions of some things to do when you are sixteen, loosely based on things I have done in the time since I have stopped being fifteen:

• Watch Breakfast at Tiffany's
• Sleep
• Eat chocolate chip pancakes
• Watch the Travel Channel compulsively
• Bathe
• Cry. Only once though.
• Be visited by Elizabeth
• Go to the mall
• At the mall, buy clothing, Toms, and a chocolate croissant
• Wait while Mom buys a coffee maker
• Clean room
• Well, start cleaning room....
• Spend time with my Friendship Circle buddy
• Go to one of those cool Japanese restaurants where they cook the food on the table
• Have cake
• Receive wonderfully sweet and well thought out gifts from friends and family members
• Obsessively respond to birthday greeting wall posts on Facebook
• Watch random episodes of iCarly
• Avoid homework at all costs
• Write in a blog

So, if you're sixteen and can't think of anything to do, I hope that the list I compiled has some worthwhile suggestions. It made for a pretty decent birthday, if I do say so myself.

Happy birthday on October 9 to Joseph Friedman, John Lennon, Sharon Osborne, Tony Shalhoub, Steven Burns, and Sean Lennon, and on October 10 to Helen Hayes, Jodi Benson, and Mario Lopez.

Last week I had a dream that junior year was over. You can imagine my disappointment when I woke up..
