The 7 Different Types Of Diary Entries
Nickelodeon

As a child, many of us had some sort of diary or journal that we would write in to get out feelings out of our heads. This diary/journal that we had was like a best friend to us. We would write down everything we felt in it and knew that it wouldn't tell anyone, because it couldn't talk (obviously). There was a wide variety of topics that we would write in our diary/journal.

Topic 1: Your Crush

One topic that we always wrote about was who we had a crush on at the moment and how we felt about them. We would confess our love to them and who we thought our competition was and how we felt just being able to look at that person every single day for free. Your diary/journal is probably 90 percent just this topic.

Topic 2: Your Favorite Song

Another topic we would write about is our favorite song at the time. It could be a song we heard on the radio or just a song that we learned at school that day in music class. If you want to remember it, you'll write it down and then every time you see the entry, you'd instantly think of the song and sing it in your head.

Topic 3: Life Updates

If you were the person who always looked back at your diary/journal, than you may have also updated some things every so often. Once you realized you stopped writing in your diary at a certain point in your childhood, you want to update it on how your life is now. Maybe promising that you'll start writing in it again.

Topic 4: Your Signature

There is at least one full page of your signature, over and over and over again. Just in case you become famous, you want to make sure that you got it down. Maybe a signature with your first name and the last name of your crush so you can practice before you get married when you have to sign all those checks.

Topic 5: Assorted Random Doodles

This may be the other 10 percent of what your entries would consist of. Big or small, there would be some type of doodle on majority of the pages. Hearts for your crush, a sun for summer, a flower for spring, etc.

Topic 6: Poems

There's be occasional poems scattered in the entries. Whether it be for someone we love or someone we hate, we found rhymes for everything and poured our hearts into them.

Topic 7: Warnings

This was usually a small writing to your sibling(s) about not reading your diary/journal. You promised them that if in fact they did not head your warning, you would hurt them, or get back at them in some way eventually. This rules lasts forever, if it's thirty years later and they're looking at it then they still will be punished because 5-year-old you said so.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
