Well, you're still a few years away from drinking age, but here is what you CAN do (legally)
*smoke
*sign your own legal contracts
*not go to school (after 18 it is no longer mandatory to attend school)
*get into nightclubs (thought you still must be 21 to drink)
*get laid
*join the military
*buy firearms
*buy dry ice (this is random, but when my chem teacher was telling the class about sublimation, he said that it was illegal for minors to buy dry ice. Apparently if you put it into a bottle and let it sublimate, the bottle will explode. Teenagers have already abused this chemical property for various explosive means, so in the state of TN you couldn't buy it.)
of course, while you are pursuing these options above, keep in mind that anything that goes on your criminal record as of now is there to stay.
As my hero Morpheus would say: "Welcome... to the real world."
Happy birthday man
(*Unless you were a wizard, they come of age at 17.)
