Evil Eye- Myths and Superstitions

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions Of A Random Blogger!’ A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about superstitions revolving around diamonds. In that post, I spoke about the superstition of the evil eye. The Evil Eye is one of the few myths or superstitions that I actually wholeheartedly believe in. Therefore, […]

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.

Borrowed Poems From an Anonymous- ‘Senescence’ and ‘Surveillance’

“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private. We must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public.”

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.

Diamonds-Superstitions

Ah yes, diamonds. Those shiny little rocks that humans have somehow deemed worthy of extreme monetary value. The status symbol of the wealthy. Derived from the Greek word ‘adámas’ which translates to unbreakable, diamonds have cemented themselves as both a form of currency and status. However, why are diamonds so celebrated? They aren’t really that […]

Borrowed Poems From An Anonymous- ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘The End?’

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions of a Random Blogger!’ Someone that I’m very close to loves to write poetry. However, they simply don’t like having to deal with the pressure of having their name attached to their work. So every month or so, I publish a couple of their poems here. This month […]

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.

One Year Blogiversary!

One year ago, on May 27th 2020, I posted my first blog post. 60 posts, 169 followers and 47,152 words later, I can’t believe it’s been this long. At the risk of sounding like some sort of brain dead iNfLueNcEr who wants to ‘sincerely thank their fans for throwing their money at them;’ I would […]
