Keeping a diary is typically associated with teens (and teenage girls), and, as a result, is often treated as silly or not worthwhile.

But...I take umbrage with this characterization! Diaries and journals are awesome, and so are the teenagers and young adults who keep them.

So, if you're a teen or college kid*, we want to hear about why you love your diary/journal.

Maybe keeping a diary has improved your mental health, or helped you stay grounded during a turbulent time in your life.

Perhaps the drawings or poems you create in your journal have given you the confidence to pursue other creative endeavors.

Or maybe taking notebook inspiration from Studyblr has helped you do better in school, or just let you embrace and celebrate your love of learning.

How ever you use your journal/notebook/diary, we want to hear about it!

Tell us a little about yourself (like how old you are/what grade you're in) and what your diary or journal means to you in the comments below (and share a pic if you'd like!) and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post or video!
