~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

Tonight Seth Said Goodbye for the Last Time - Saturday, March 27, 1965

I feel terrible. Seth just said goodbye for the last time. I'm ashamed of the way I treated him tonight, but I just felt as if our relationship shouldn't continue. Given a few years, Seth should be quite a man. He said the nicest things just before he left. In my heart I feel the same way. I'm depressed and bewildered. Probably if I'd not chosen to walk through Mackay the night of February 2 some of the "storm and stress" in two individuals' lives never would have occurred. He thinks so much of me, and I was selfish. We went to the House of Toy on the Plaza with Vivien and Charlie tonight.
