Princess Diana, Lady Diana Spencer and Princess of Wales.

A Tribute To Diana
Diana Spencer

You were a "People's Princess" and royalty was such a big spotlight. I don't blame you for feeling over whelmed. Nobody should blame you. I never really knew a lot about Diana, Princess of Wales, until recently, her son Harry, got married. The grand, royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This family is full of secrets, money and well, royalty.

I began reading articles and watching these documentaries about her and from the very beginning, I could tell she had no idea what she was really doing. Princess Diana was strong and she tried her best to be royalty. Princess Diana struggled with depression and bulimia when she first moved from her town of Sandringham, England to the royal castle once marrying Prince Charles. The marriage ended with divorce as she began to lead a single mother life, still being Princess.

The popularity and paparazzi attention that she received was too much for her and it overwhelmed her at many times. She gave her time and love to not only her kids, but so many other children around the world being that she was a Child Activist. They were the most important. She didn't see the attention as the goal, the children were the goal. To give hope and uplift people and maybe some of that came from her wanting to feel that way for herself.

“Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back if only they had the chance.”– Princess Diana

From a biography I read about Princess Diana, she also took part in de-stigmatizing people who were HIV positive. She was not afraid of people that didn't want the attention either; only to be helped and loved. She supports the bans on landmines after people were injured and since passed away. People could connect with her and she found her happiness in helping others.

You gave happiness to people in situations where they could not make a difference, so you did. People can struggle but still bring happiness to others. Sometimes the unhappy people are the ones who really make others pay attention. You were a peoples princess and your bravery and generosity will never go unnoticed. Especially by your sons.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
