Congratulations on graduating high school. You were at the perfect age to see Animal House.... just before going to college! Grease was a fun movie all the way around. John Travolta did a great job and Olivia Newton John really did "rock it" in both her character portrayals. :) :)

The whole year? I was seventeen. How bad could my life be? I was a free, good looking, healthy, spoiled, middle-class, hippie living with my friends in a "pad" in Chicago.
We dropped acid at least once a month if not more. We smoked pot a lot. Not every day. It was expensive. Like $5 a shot glass full. Back in oh wait. That was 1968. Let me start again.
You said 1978. That's different. Flash forward another decade.
I am 27 for most of the year till November....
I have just finished quitting my second career. I am starting to drink heavily but still have my looks and no one really knows what a freaking drunk I am, since most of my crowd like to drink and party. I did not know that my life was going down the tubes, because it really wasn't. I had two degrees, I told myself I was really smart. OH GOD WHAT A DRUNK CHILD I WAS. There were plenty of opportunities to blow and ways to disappoint myself by doing the wrong thing based on being a drunk. I didn't learn that until about 1983.
I digress.
The good part was I was still healthy and partying my butt off with lots of job opportunities in law and cosmetics. They blend so well. I went to a lot of concerts still. I loved music. I was working as a court reporter. I thought running on empty was a normal way to live.
I had a lot of energy.
