Okay so for my project I am writing a story in the form of diary entries. To make it not as personal I came up with a character that has some of my characteristics and a few false ones. She is a senior in high school and can not wait to go away to school. There a few problems through out the book that are big that she has to over come before she goes away. I wanted to write this so other people could read it and have something to relate to about daily problems in high school and life.

Hey everyone! I thought I would leave you guys a note before you start reading about my life to introduce myself. My name is Savannah, Savannah Lynn Heart. I’m 18 years old, and a senior in high school. And boy, I can’t wait to leave for college. If only I could tell you how bad I can’t wait to get out of this hell hole of high school. Well I guess you are going to have to find out by reading on! Trust me; don’t think for a minute my life is going to be boring. Okay so there is officially nine days until school starts. Is summer really over already? The only bright side of going back to school is that its senior year…I guess. I mean what else is there to look forward to besides GRADUATING high school and then going away to college. I am so excited! But on the downside I think I might die without my mother. Who else will put up with all my shit? No one is dumb enough to do that by choice, my mom has to. Now that I’m thinking about this I’m becoming really sad. I’m pretty sure my two best friends and I are the only three sane people in our whole entire high school. It really annoys me that everyone feels the need to be so cool and get drunk and black out every weekend. NEWS FLASH!! YOU’RE NOT COOL. Seriously who gives a shit if you get drunk and don’t remember anything that happened that night? These people like expect an award or something extravagant. I hope they realize no one is going to give it to them. How am I supposed to find people in college that is okay with just hanging out and making memories that I will actually remember like the two best friends I have at home? God help me. Why am I not five years old again? I remember when I was five years old, my younger sister was three, my older sister was seven, and my older brother was nine and the whole family went to our beach house for two weeks. I thought everything was funny, and the most important thing those two weeks were building a better sand castle than my other siblings. That was my biggest worry back then, and I wish that the biggest worry I had now a days. I think I should write a list of goals for this upcoming school year so I have some motivation… My head is spinning. I need to go for a run before I go under cardiac arrest or something. Catch ya later. Oh my god! COULD THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE? Someone please tell me. So my two best friends and I were about to go out and I had just bought these new black leggings which I was going to wear tonight and they ripped. ON THE CROTCH. You have got to be kidding me…FML. I was really glad that my two best friends were in hysterics laughing at me. Thanks Evelyn and Audrey. I can still hear them laughing in my head, they always team up on me. Thank god that I went on a run this morning…it helped for about a good two seconds. No, but really I’m kidding. I pray to God everyday I can actually run because sometimes I think it’s the only thing I can do before my head blows up into a million little pieces. Okay, well now I have to go figure out what I’m wearing tonight again…yay me! NOT. P.S. I know I kind of sound like a raging bitch whose life is completely pathetic but I’m not. I’ve just had a bad day…I promise! Okay really though, goodnight diary. Now it’s time to have some fun! Love always, Savannah **XOXO** Good thing I slept all day yesterday hence why I didn’t get a chance to write in here. I mean considering Saturday night could be defined by really interesting…to say the least. I needed to catch up on my “Z’s” ;) Anyway, I’m really trying to mentally prepare myself for going back to school but I just can’t do it. Maybe I shouldn’t think about school until I wake up that morning. I’m gonna go for my daily run now, I’ll probably write again when school starts.  NO WAY is this happening right now. I’m literally laughing so hard; this might be a huge joke. I can’t believe my mom just came barging into my room screaming at me to get up. My mom was saying “Savannah get up before your late on the first day of school. I can’t believe I still have to do this four years later…blah blah blah” Like alright Mom…its always I can’t believe this and that. I feel like she will never get over the fact of how lazy I am. Especially since my mom is always up so early and ready to go. I always tell her “Mom it’s way too early right now. She always responds saying “Savannah Lynn Heart you need to get your butt moving or your wasting precious time.” Oh well. I guess I should of thought about waking up this early last night when I thought it was a good idea to watch my favorite movie until 1 a.m. I wish I knew why school even existed. I am going to go straighten my hair…and then maybe decide to pick out a cute outfit…maybe. Okay well I decided I have been being so pessimistic lately and I need to snap out of it. I picked out a cute outfit and I’m almost ready to go. I woke up way too late so I guess really shouldn’t be taking time to write. But this will help calm me down anyway. I think its funny how this is my first day of senior year in high school and I still get kind of nervous for the first day of school…god what am I eight years old? The only difference is eight years old don’t drive themselves to school. That’s going to be crazy the more I think about it. I can’t wait to see how all my idiot classmates can’t drive. Hopefully today will be a good day. After four years I really hope that all the drama that had happened will be forgotten. Who am I kidding? As I run out the door to meet Evelyn and Audrey at Wawa for our iced French vanilla coffee I should grab my bullet proof vest to help me survive throughout the day. Wish me luck! I must have been crazy last night if I tried to positive about going back to school. I’m sitting in first block with my friend’s and I worst enemy. LOL at me. At least it’s only a quarter class…this should go over well. I can’t help but stare at her. I really hate that she’s so god damn pretty too. I mean I’m not jealous of her though. I swear. It’s just that she annoys me so much, she thinks she’s God’s gift to everyone. I just want to go up to her and say NEWS FLASH Jess but you need to stop walking like your shit doesn’t stink. Seriously. The worst part is that Evelyn, Audrey, and I actually used to be friends with her, really good friends.
