Stars! They're just like us, right? I mean, Kim Kardashian and I both have eyebrows. Kendall Jenner and I both have two feet (AND we both use them to walk with, what are the chances?). I keep up with the Kardashians a lot more than I'd like to admit — via social media, the show, ... their books — and I've learned that Kylie Jenner's life as a 17-year-old is almost identical to my life as a 17-year-old. I said almost. So I thought it would be a good idea to put our lives as two super fun 17-year-olds side-by-side to see how they compare (but mostly so I could see if I could keep up with the Kardashians).
Now, I'm not 17 currently. But I was only six short years ago. 2009 was a good year to be 17. Avatar came out — and I lied that I saw it... Still haven't —, and Parks & Recreation started airing (and I would never be the same). I was also a blossoming high school student in the Chicago suburbs who didn't know what a straightener was until the third quarter on in my seventeenth year. I learned what highlights were that year, as well. What I'm trying to say is that it was a big year for Allison.
So if not seeing Avatar, meeting Leslie Knope, and semi-understanding what to do with my hair makes it a big year for me, I think Kylie Jenner's seventeenth year on Earth can be considered a huge year. This girl ain't slowing down.
Here is how Kylie's life as a 17-year-old compares to my life as a 17-year-old.

My Car
I cruised around town in a 2006 Honda Accord like the BAMF I am.

One time my dad upgraded us to first class on our flight to Los Angeles and I sat next to Reese Witherspoon*.
*A woman who probably wasn't Reese Witherspoon, but looked like her if you squint/close your eyes.

Oh, wait. All 17-year-olds feel the same about their families.
Moral of the story: Kylie Jenner and I are the same person.
