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

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

Major Life Advice

Recently during class I was giving an acquaintance/friend advice after being asked "How am I so happy?" and another acquaintance/friend wanted me to begin as she thought this was very important. Today I want to share part of a book (google doc) that I've been writing throughout the years that is full of advice I have received and found. Today is the Best Day of My Life This may sound crazy, but it's true, everyday is the best day of your life because you never know when life will end. I learned this from my dad who even thought it was crazy when he heard it from his friend. This advice has helped me look at the positive in every day things. For example in high school I didn't enjoy waking up around 4 am for swim practice, but when I dad told me this advice, I started thinking about it began enjoying early mornings. How lucky was I to do what I love, be awake before anyone else, talk to my friends, and laugh endlessly before the sun rose? So lucky and as ...

A Recap: November 2018

In November, everything went well, but there was still a little fun Friendsgiving Cru put on a Friendsgiving which was nice. I did meet some new people and enjoyed talking. Talking I also got to talk with one of the older girls in Cru. She listened to my lifeguard stories and we went grocery shopping for what felt like my four kids. Thanksgiving After, a furious scurry to vacuum my room, my dad and I headed home for Thanksgiving. I mainly just stayed at home and hung out. However, I did begin running in the morning which was nice, but I can't run very well. It's like I jog, but slower and there's less distance between my feet, it's weird, I can't run. I also made my own Christmas card for Christmas, I still have to send it out to people though. On Thanksgiving I helped make the pumpkin pie and green bean casserole which was delicious!. I was pretty proud of myself. It was a ni...
