Hi, navansa13  . I have just finished reading "Spring Break Project"  and would like to offer some comments as a student of the "PDG Rockin' Review Academy"
Please note, before I begin, that I am not an expert at reviews and the following comments are provided with the best of intentions, from one writer to another. I hope you will find some of my thoughts helpful, and leave behind those you do not.
Overall Impression: Fascinating! The struggles in the life of a teenager seeking her own identity, laid out in a journal, provides a unique and creative viewpoint. I found that the piece flowed nicely and was pleasurable to read. Your character was quite believable and honest. I enjoyed the wisp of attitude, and the speech patterns that stood out in such a way that I could visualize the character writing the journal. You highlighted important points about the supporting characters, without going into a lot of unnecessary detail. The two strike-throughs, and the first line caught my attention quickly, and made me want to keep reading.
Favorite Lines: The first line is great! "Dear book-that-I-have-to-write-in-because-my-teacher-is-giving-me-a-complete-waste-of-time-that-counts-as-half-of-my-grade-and-if-I-don’t-pass-then-I’ll-fail-8th-grade," I think there may be a word missing after "waste-of-time" (Project?), but regardless, this line introduced me very quickly to your character and the setting. It sparked my interest in a very humorous way.
"...as a bunch of sluts, sorry, disrespectful young ladies who should be more modest in their choice of clothing." I love this line!
Punctuation/Spelling/Grammar: I found a few spelling and grammatical errors in the story, most of which a spelling/grammar checker would pick up on. I struggled a bit in determining what would be considered in error, and what is acceptable since the story unfolds as entries in a diary. I enjoyed your use of capitalization, the "RRRIIIIIIIIPPPPP" between paragraphs, and the strike-throughs. These all added image to the story and helped to portray the character.
Final Thoughts: I am so glad to have read this piece. You have, in my opinion, developed a unique idea here. Great job!
 Thank you for sharing your work!

That's the child in me! But honestly, what an excellent children's story. Your character (Badger) is quite believable, staying true to the real creature's form. Although Badger is grouchy and a menace, he won my heart and I wanted him to succeed in resolving his conflicts. I actually wanted to give him a big hug!
