Why don't you join in on your blog and write about YOU at 17 - add some pictures too!! Leave us a comment here to say you've done it, and we will drop by :)
You can check out the official '17 again' blog train at Liberty Cottage!!
ETA: Also, would YOU go back to being 17 again if you could? Was it a good age? I ahd a lot of fun back then BUT I would NOT go back to being 17 again. I am LOVING my thirties and am so much happier and self assured and comfortable with who I am. I would NOT want to go through my 20's again - no way!
If I had to go back I don't think I'd change a thing - because all my mistakes brought me to where I am now.
