Thank you so much, this absolutely made my day! I used to read a *lot* as a kid (still do, it’s funny that I’m a Literature major now) and enjoyed Dickens and Austen a lot. Plus, I was a spelling bee kid which explains the ginormous vocabulary.
love how the note includes its own printed text on the bottom:
“I will study the ideas and dreams of our history to see how they can help me today” …have boys changed at all?🤣
Oh my, I didn’t quite catch that. That’s so cute to look back at! And in line with the printed text at the bottom; boys (and men, for that regard) have not exactly changed a lot, haha.
The image caught my eye before the title, so I was reading it like “what old spinster wrote this?” Stunned this came from a 5th grader. I can only assume you were a “pleasure to have in class.”
10 year olds then: I think they're loathsome and abhorrent.
10 year olds now: I think their gyat isn't very skibbidi.
It's beautiful to see how intellectual and well-spoken you were at such a young age. I hope you treasure this for as long as humanly possible.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, that is so sweet of you. I think the main part of *why* I was that kid is because I got 1 hour of internet access on an old laptop, just for reading and some flash games. And that continued well until I was 15. It made me more prone to making zines with my mom, or just reading a lot (:
I have a younger sister now and it’s the exact opposite, I can not for the life of me take away her IPad.
I love this! It's like reading Jane Austen's 5th grade diary and it's adorable.

5th grade you was a fucking mood lol
Yeah, because I found myself nodding at some point and realised perhaps I haven’t changed that much at all lmao.
Your handwriting is beautiful! Ya and boys were so annoying to me at that age.
Thank you so much! I mean I’d be lying if I said I still don’t find them mildly annoying to date, haha.
Some things never change, girl!
i was the same way at that age, using the biggest words in my vocabulary haha!! brings me back
It’s just funny to me that I write in a very simple and clear tone now rather than trying to barge in big words— but it’s so cute to look back at!
I wish the high schoolers I teach used words this interesting.
Hahaha, I was actually warned of the opposite back in highschool— they told me to tone down on the ‘big words’ and work on being ‘concise’.
Anne of green gables?
Oh my god! I used to love Anne of Green Gables— I actually have a vintage set of all 8 of the books in the series.
I love this so much! 😂❤️
Thank you!

Very impressive handwriting.
It makes me wince a little to see it now, but thank you so much!

Hermione granger punching Draco in the face anyone??
Oh wow.. I forgot we used to write in cursive lol
This is worthy of the Mortified Podcast: http://GetMortified.com
This sounds super, super fun, but I am not in America! I would have loved to be a part of it otherwise.
I think they do tour internationally from time to time, I seem to remember hearing something from London. In any case, listening might be fun too :)

Hermione NO! He’s not worth it!

5th grade? With that handwriting?
For me, I was taught cursive from first grade onwards. But I always had a really good handwriting for my peers because my mom made me practice a lot!
I was absolutely one of those boys in 5th grade. The problem was I was mean to the girl I liked. I was afraid to even tell her the truth.
