17 Again

Well it is not everyday, or in every job, that you get the opportunity to be 17 again. But that is exactly the kind of special opportunity I was given this weekend.

On Saturday it was time for BBS to complete the mystery shopping research project for a college Open Day. As the youngest members of the team Bhavina and I were allotted to play the roles of the 17 year old school leavers. As my first experience of such a project I was determined to get into character. On the Friday night I put one of my very lucky friends through the experience of watching 17 Again with the lovely Zac Effron. I have to say that it was one of the most enjoyable, cringing two hours of film I have ever sat through and I would thoroughly recommend it!

Saturday morning it was off to college and after a good hour fluffing over my appearance (as every 17 year old would) I was on my way. After telling registration that I had not decided what to do next I was stuck with more stickers than a toddler at Wacky Warehouse. Moving round the different departments I went from wanting to join the army to wanting to be a child care assistant all in the space of a few hours (I knew I should have been an actress). As enjoyable as all this was I would say that I forgot how exhausting being a teenager was. By 5pm I was ready to be me again in order to chill out with a cool glass of wine but my oh my what a day.
