This section comprises the journals Plath kept between July 1950 and 1953, where she recorded her first three years as a student at Smith College and the events that later inspired her novel, The Bell Jar.
Plath here is strikingly mature for her years: her form is admirable; her ambitions and meditations on sexual freedom & marriage reflect a clear understanding of the precarity of women's lives in the 50s.

"I felt if I didn't write nobody would accept me as a human being. Writing, then, was a substitute for myself: if you don't love me, love my writing & love me for my writing. It is also so much more: a way of ordering and reordering the chaos of experience." — December 27, 1958

College Sylvia, Smith Sylvia, the epitome of an All American Girl. Briefly, she stops talking about boys — and fills up three pages with suicide.
