Dear Diary,
Something super embarrassing happened today. I tripped in the cafeteria and dropped my
entire tray of food. It was like a movie scene—everyone turned and stared, and I could feel
my face turning bright red. But then, something unexpected happened. Jason, the guy from
my English class, came over and helped me pick everything up. He was so nice about it,
making a joke to lighten the mood. I think I might have a tiny crush on him now, which is
weird because I never noticed him much before. I’ll have to pay more attention in English
class now, not just to the lessons but also to see if Jason smiles at me again.

Dear Diary,
I’m so frustrated with my parents. They don’t understand anything! I asked if I could go to
Jenna’s party this weekend, and they immediately said no. They don’t even know her that
well, and they’re always so strict about everything. I feel like I’m the only one who has to
follow all these ridiculous rules. Everyone else’s parents seem so much cooler. I know they
just want to protect me, but it feels like they don’t trust me at all. I wish I could make them
see that I’m responsible enough to make my own decisions. It’s like they forget what it was
like to be my age.

Dear Diary,
I think I’m starting to figure out what I want to do after high school. We had this guest
speaker in art class today, a graphic designer who talked about how she got into the field
and what her job is like. It sounds amazing, like the perfect mix of creativity and technology.
I’ve always loved drawing and designing stuff on my computer, but I never thought of it as a
career option. I’m going to look into it more and maybe talk to the guidance counselor about
what classes I should take. It feels good to have something to aim for, even if it’s just an idea
for now.

Dear Diary,
I had a huge fight with Jenna today. I don’t even know how it started, but suddenly we were
yelling at each other in the hallway. I said some things I didn’t mean, and so did she. Now
we’re not talking, and it feels awful. She’s been my best friend since forever, and I hate that
we’re like this. I know I should apologize, but part of me is still really angry. Maybe we just
need some time apart. I hope we can figure it out soon because I miss her.

Dear Diary,
Today was a good day. Jenna and I finally made up. It turns out we were both feeling
stressed about different things and took it out on each other. We talked it all out during lunch
and decided we need to be better about supporting each other, especially with all the
pressure this year. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I guess fights are
part of friendships, but I’m glad we’re okay now.
Also, Jason asked me if I wanted to study together for our English test next week. I said yes,
of course. Maybe it’s nothing, just studying, but it’s still exciting. We’ll see where this goes.

Dear Diary,
It’s weird how fast things can change. One minute I’m stressed about school, friends, and
the future, and the next, I’m feeling hopeful and excited. I guess that’s just part of being a
teenager—everything is always changing. Sometimes it’s overwhelming, but other times it’s
kind of exciting, like I’m on the edge of something big. I don’t have it all figured out yet, but
maybe that’s okay. I’ve got time to make mistakes, learn, and grow. For now, I’ll just try to
enjoy the ride.
