Class reunion- to go or not to go

Class reunions, you either love them or loathe them. It depends on how much you liked school and if you had any friends. I’ve never been to one even if I did say I would come. This was the class where I didn’t enjoy my time at all. I was just glad I didn’t have to see those people again. But when it was time for the reunion I thought, I’ll show them I’m a different person. At the time I thought I would have something to brag about. In the end it didn’t matter. Why do I have to impressive these people anyway. I don’t care about them. They didn’t care about me. They’re the past and that has nothing to do with the future. So I decided I would not go and I have never regretting it.

Now it’s time for a reunion but this time it’s with my class mates from Helsinki Design School. Even though I enjoyed the time there, I didn’t find that “connection” with any of them. It would be nice to see them again though despite that but it’s in Helsinki and I’m not really into travelling there just for a few hours. The restaurant they chose is quite expensive too. The meeting day is also on a Friday and that’s when all the weirdos are outside. Then there’s the money issues. There probably will be another reunion one day. If I decide to go, what would I do there. Just sit and listen? I have nothing to say. They never asked me anything when the photography course was on so why would they ask me anything now? These kind of gatherings are a pain for an introvert even if it’s with people you know. I don’t even know them. They’re just ships passing by. I don’t even remember their names. Then again it’s never too late to get to know them. At least those people that can make it. It’s also quite interesting to know what they’ve been up to even if I don’t have anything to tell. But is it really worth going that far just to sit and listen. I don’t really care if they want me there or not. If I decide to go I’ll do it out of curiosity.

Then there’s the bus or train schedules. Will I found a suitable time, is also the question. I don’t know how long I want to be there. It’s less expensive to buy the tickets online in advance. But what if I don’t like it there. Then of course I can leave earlier. But if I like it there, it would be a shame to leave just because I have to catch a train or bus. The restaurant is open until 2 am but I’m not gonna stay that long. There will be another reunion so if I don’t go this time, there’s always next time.

Decisions has never been my strongest side. Should I stay or should I go, that’s always been a problem for me. I’m still thinking if I should go to this reunion. It’s at least 3 weeks until it happens so there’s still time to think about it.

 

 

What to do when it’s a rainy day but you don’t feel like going out

Mia5 Comments

It’s finally summer and you’re excited that it’s gonna be hot and sunny. You can’t wait to get to the beach. But damn it’s rains outside. What to do now? Take a walk in the rain? Nah, don’t feel like it. What to do then, it’s summer and it’s time for joy. But the rain is not what you wanted.

Here’s a few tips of what to do when it’s a rainy day and you don’t feel like going out

#Listen to music
Not just listen to your favorite tunes. Why not sing along to the lyrics? It doesn’t matter if you’re not the best singer in the world. If you sing out of tune, it doesn’t matter. No one is there to hear it anyway. Just the feeling singing along to a great song is good for your spirit.

#Watch videos on Youtube
Whatever takes your fancy. If it’s those popular cat videos or Youtubers. Or if you’re like me, watch old TV comedy shows that you used to watch on TV. Maybe there’s a video you remembered watching once but it was ages ago. Why not try to search for it again? Youtube is full of old and new videos. Just take your pick. I spend hours and hours there if I’m bored.

#Watch a DVD
Forget Netflix and such. If you have DVD’s you haven’t watched in ages. A rainy day is a good excuse to watch them. Nothing is better than put a disk in your DVD player and press play. Not forgetting those extras if there are any. Maybe you have a DVD with your favorite series, why not watch it again? That’s the reason you bought it so you can watch it again, right? Watching them on Netflix is not the same.

#Read a book or write a story
Sitting in your favorite armchair, reading your book. What’s more relaxing than that? If you’re not a book reader, you can start to write a story of your own. It doesn’t even have to be a story. You can write anything you like.

#Play board games or playing cards
Playing games on a tablet or a computer, is a lonely business. Spending time with your family (if you have one) playing board games is a social event. It’s a good way having a conversation and spend time away from modern technology. Board games can also be played among friends. If you’re alone, playing solitare with real playing cards, is much more fun. You can also search on the internet for new card games to learn. Just used the search word: card games for one. Or just “card games”

These tips are also good for boredom. If anybody else have more tips on what to do on a rainy day, feel free to reply to this blog post. So what do you do on a rainy day or when you’re bored?
