There aren’t very many kids my age that live near me. The number is three, total, not counting the one slightly further away who tortured me from 2nd to 6th grade(not Dylan, this is another jerk). We all went to the same elementary school, but only one ended up going to my middle school. She was way too shy and I was way too socially awkward to remain friends for long. So we didn’t.

Bri’s adventure to rediscover herself.
[Day 9] Naturally Curious
Two years ago, standing in the sophomore hall of our high school, my friends and I found a folded note on top of the fire extinguisher. The paper was a bright yellow and inside, there was some text and handwriting both. The text read: What’s YOUR secret? Write down one of your school-appropriate secrets that not many know for the yearbook. If you feel comfortable, you can write your name. If not, that’s ok too. Thanks! The person who was given this slip of paper wrote something profane that I won’t repeat but had to do with… relations with another student that we all knew.

[Day 8] Gosh I’m Supportive
My brother had some pretty bad luck as a baby. Not only was his hip out of place so he had to wear a giant cast for the first several months of his life, but he was also lactose intolerant and allergic to nuts of all caliber. We found the last two things out because he had red, irritated patches all over him and we found out that through my mom’s milk he was being exposed to things that we were unaware he was allergic to. Continue reading “[Day 8] Gosh I’m Supportive”
[Day 7] I’d Marry HIM!
The first week is over! Only 358 days to go. Today, I am supposed to write about something good that happened. After this week I promise to stop writing what each day is, hoping that you’ll either infer it from the blog or look it up on the “Bri 2.0” tab at the top of the site. Continue reading “[Day 7] I’d Marry HIM!”
[Day 6] Mack

[Day 5] I was a creepy middle-schooler
Dear Liam Aiken,
I am a senior in high school in a town of no consequence in Colorado. On August 19th of this year, I started a year-long blog project entitled “365 Days of Bri” to rediscover myself. I’ll add the details at the end of this letter, but for now I’ll just explain your part. Every day of the week I have a different task to do, at once I’ve completed it I have to write about the experience in the blog. On Sundays like today, my task is to write a thank you letter to someone I’ve never met. For reasons I will explain shortly, you made the most sense to start off with.

[Day 3] My Dislocated Thumb
Today is the day for writing about someone important in my life. This isn’t something I have to wait the rest of the day to write, so I’m at school right now. Continue reading “[Day 3] My Dislocated Thumb”
[Day 2] Old friends
Today was the day I had to give something away. Originally, I intended this to mean a physical thing, but then I realized the broadness of the phrase. Was it possible, then, that I could give something like a secret or a personal story away? I thought so. Continue reading “[Day 2] Old friends”
[Day 1] Body issues
Today was my day for trying something new. But before I get into that, here’s a fun blast from the past that I really got a kick out of today. I needed a picture of Liam Aiken for a speech I had to do for AP Lit, and this was the one I ended up picking. It just makes me giggle. Continue reading “[Day 1] Body issues”
