We asked students to show us their teenage diaries
And the results are just as mortifying as you would expect
Our teenage years are widely recognised as the most embarrassing of our lives.
Luckily, some of us documented it all.
From boy troubles, to Bieber Fever, 13-year-old girls experience every emotion under the spectrum.
So, in a blur of VK, Smirnoff Ice and “snogging”, we present, entries from Edinburgh’s very own student confessionals.
Girl One: Second year, Languages
Armed with an incredibly unrealistic fake ID, our first student, 16 at the time of writing, sets out in a WKD haze to get off with exactly one boy, and to make more friends.
A year later, she moves her focus onto getting a “hot, muscly boyfriend, preferably on a rugby team”. Rumour has it this still hasn’t happened.
In possibly the cringiest “dear diary” ever written, Student 1 laments her lack of boyfriend and swears she will “die from the lack of feeling someone’s lips on mine”. Someone call the love doctor.
Girl Two: Third year, Geography
“I chased him round with the camera and he was laughing lots, it was very cute.
“I checked his horoscope and it said romance is blossoming and he will explore new communications and make better friends!!!!!!”
Girl Three: First year, History
After spending a few hours crying at a party over her teenage insecurity, Student 3’s friend takes a sadistic amount of pleasure in watching her friend get vommed on. LOL.
Blates messing around: Student 3 is accused of bullying after telling her friend he has a “tiny dick”.
Really, all she wants is a good hug.
Girl Four: Second year, Geography
Student 4 is a true Belieber.
Girl Five: First year, Classics
Cleaner probs: So Edinbrah.
Girl Six: Second year, International Relations
She nearly slipped on orange juice and fell into his arms. It could have played out like a Hugh Grant movie. It didn’t.
So, if you have your own embarrassing diaries – suck it up and read them.
You will nott only be dragging all your skeletons out of the closet, but also every ounce of self-respect and dignity that you have.
It’s quite funny though.
