Pet Peeves

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions of a Random Blogger!’ A pet peeve is defined as a minor inconvenience or action that proves to be extremely annoying or irritating. We all have pet peeves. It’s only natural! However, I’m one of those rare breeds of people that is literally annoyed by everything around me. […]

Trashy If You’re Poor But Classy If You’re Rich

In a world that is divided by race, gender, sexual orientation, and whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza; we must be sure not to forget the primordial social divide. Money. We all know that people with an enormous amount of wealth are afforded a certain amount of privilege on a daily basis that some […]

Types of Annoying People on Instagram

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms that has ever existed. In fact, if you’re anywhere between the ages of 8 to 81, you’ve probably had some sort of experience using the social media platform. Personally, Instagram serves as a practical way to fight boredom, stay connected with friends, learn about current […]

‘Watched’- June-July

So every couple of months I like to come here and talk about some of the movies and television shows I’ve watched over the past few months. Unlike my music favourites series, in which I’m pretty positive about the items on the list, I’m usually pretty critical during the instalments of this series. Solely because of the fact that for every good movie I watch, there are around 5 bad ones that take its place. Maybe I’m just really bad at picking out movies? Maybe Netflix is just absolutely terrible at recommending things that I’ll actually like?

Music Favourites of June-July

I believe that music has the power to completely change a person’s mood, state of mind and even physical capability (haven’t we all run a little too fast on the treadmill while listening to that one song?). Therefore, every couple of months I come here and talk about my favourite music of the past couple of months. Not because any of you really, truly care; but because I just like to talk about music.

Toxic Productivity

Instead of ‘going and getting that bread’ why not just take a break and some bread instead? No, you are not a failure because you didn’t create a startup during the ongoing uprise of a deadly virus that’s killing millions and millions of people. No, you are not a failure because said hypothetical start up […]

The Rise of The Anti-Role Model

I think it’s time we stop encouraging this strange narrative that celebrities singing and dancing on stage for a pay-check are somehow responsible for your child’s mental and psychological development. Sorry parents! You might have to actually start raising your own children instead of turning on the television and deciding that the first person that pops up on screen is your kid’s brand new parent.

The Modern Day Julie/Julia Project- Pretzels

If you don’t already know, this is ‘The Modern Day Julie/Julia Project,’ a continuing series here where I document my experience of learning how to cook. Now, this series actually started back in July of last year, when I still thought that I would be going to an actual college and not getting my undergraduate degree from a talking laptop screen.

‘Watched’- April-May

I think what I miss most about pre-pandemic life is being able to sit in a dark cinema hall for a couple of hours with a huge bag of popcorn, and sort of just disappear. A place where it is not just encouraged but expected for people to shut up.

Music Favourites of April-May

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions of a Random Blogger!’ Did you know that listening to music utilises all parts of the brain? A study conducted by Finnish researchers discovered that in order to decipher rhythm, tone and timber; dynamic sections of the brain showed large-scale neural activation. Today I’m going to be sharing […]
