Katherine’s 7th Grade Diary: Two Introductions

“This is a remarkable book. Written by a young girl- and the young are not afraid of telling the truth.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt, in regards to another famous diary.

When I was in seventh grade I kept a diary and I recently reread it. Boy, did it not disappoint! I found it to be hilarious and full of big dreams and even bigger emotions! Since, I found it to be funny I decided to share it with you all. Hopefully you’ll also find it funny and get a glimpse into my thoughts. In this series I’ll include my diary entries, doodles, some texts, some emails, school work, and etcetera. I also am including a scan of the actual page and the typed text just in case my handwriting is difficult to read. I changed names (unless permission was granted or they’re famous) and will redact some parts as deemed necessary. Hopefully, I’ll add some commentary too. So, without further ado these are the first two entries of my seventh grade diary.

Entry 1

Dear 18 yr old Katherine,

Hi, it’s 12 yr old me! This book contains stuff like stories, Jake, contacts, Jake, other things, and my favorite Jake Michaels! I bet your cleaning things out for college? The Broncos are playing tomorrow! I hope Jake is your boyfriend! More importantly I hope you made it to the 2016 Summer Olympics in speed swimming! Bye!

Entry 2

I decided to turn this into a diary. Why? I thought it was funny. Also when your 30 you can laugh insanely. This is gonna be fun!

I don’t know what to right (write) about.

School:

Math: Finished quiz, problems

Social Studies (S.S.) Activity on how important things are

Lunch/Recess Swung with Margot and told her about the Missy Franklin letter

Spanish

Literacy

Science 4.3 review,

Commentary

I particularly like the first entry. I have incredible expectations for myself. Not only do I hope my middle school crush, Jake Michaels, is my boyfriend six years later, but I hope I’m a swimmer in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, I didn’t achieve either goal.

In the second entry I appreciate that I added another introduction since it had been 10 days after the first. I also have no clue what I am writing about on the right side of the page. I talk about Missy Franklin and I write the word military. I don’t know what happened. However, I’m proud to announce that I know the difference between the words ‘right’ and ‘write’.

God Bless

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out. We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Summer Style 2019

This summer I have been trying to expand my wardrobe. I noticed I have many solid color shirts and my outfits have gotten boring. I have been trying to change this by getting a top in every color to change it up. It has been a little tough because I try to follow Karl Lagerfeld's advice of purchasing pieces I either need or really love. There really is no reason to spend money on clothing you sort of like, you got to love it. Click on the titles of the clothing to get to the link. Ralph Lauren Polo Flag Cotton Sweater I love this summer sweater! I mean who doesn't love a summer sweater! It is so patriotic and perfect for chilly summer nights. I am looking forward to purchasing this sweater later this summer. Plus, it's on sale! Brooks Brothers Tipped Supima Cotton Shell This tank top is basic, but so easy to dress up with accessories. This one is also on sale. Lilly Pulitzer Dusk Racer Back Silk Tank Top I absolutely adore this tank top. Lilly ...
