Remember When I Used to be Obsessed With...

If there were awards given for exceptional denial skills, I would have a shelf full of trophies. I have literally spent the last 6-7 weeks doing everything BUT think about my future. I cringe internally every time uni crosses my mind because it's just too painful to revisit all of last semester's confusion. I still don't really know what I'm doing with my life and a little part of me wonders what the last 6 years of hard work were all for if I'm not even enjoying what I'm doing at uni. It's sad and it hurts and I constantly feel like there's a cloud raining over the pitiful parade that is my life.

C's Reverie really was a fitting name for my old blog, now that I think about it. My high school days were literally one extended period of denial spanning more than half a decade. But I don't regret them because they made me happy. It's clichéd but ignorance really is bliss. (And if that isn't a glaring neon sign that journalism isn't for me, I don't know what is).

Anyhow, this is becoming a bit too somber for my liking so why don't we escape back into denial land? I've been meaning to do this post for a while now. It's one in which I reflect on all the epic (and painfully embarrassing) obsessions I used to have. What can I say? If Denial was my first name, Nostalgia would be my second. So without further ado, here is my "Remember When...." list which I had so much fun doing. If you've read my blog since 2009, you'd properly recognize most of these.

(WARNING: Some of these things are reaaaaaallly cringeworthy and embarrassing so please procede at your own risk.)

1. This song?

 

Back when Eurovision used to be epic....you can't see right now but I'm dying of embarrassment over here. Fun fact: I started violin lessons at school because of this guy. I guess it wasn't all in vain then.

Oh god, I really did have questionable tastes in everything didn't I? Ah well, what's done is done. Plus, thinking about all these things was actually very therapeutic. I feel a strange sense of closure after doing this. You guys should try it too!
