Writing a Diary

I started writing it because many of my friends wrote their diary, so I just followed what my friends did. Later on, I found that it was an interesting activity. So, I could remember the events that happen in my life; but I stopped writing it when i graduated from school. I felt lazy to write my daily life and I started to take notes in my mobile instead of writing in a diary book; but sometimes I still checked my mobile and when I had time, I would rewrite what I had already written in that notes to my diary book.
