A local history museum has hired five high school students to help translate an old diary found in storage.

The diary is believed to be more than one hundred years old. At first, researchers thought it might contain important notes about trade, weather, or politics.

However, the students quickly noticed a different pattern. Many pages described complaints about chores, boring lessons, and a person who "looked at me for only two seconds and then looked away."

"This is not a political document," one student said. "This is clearly teen drama."

The museum curator said the discovery was still valuable. The diary shows that young people in the past also worried about friendship, homework, and whether their hair looked strange.

One difficult sentence confused the researchers for three days. A student translated it as, "I am fine, but actually I am not fine."

The museum now plans to create a special exhibition called Everyday Feelings in the Past.

Visitors will be able to see the diary next month. The museum asks visitors not to laugh too loudly, because the writer was probably being completely serious.
