Friday Five
Apr. 24th, 2026 10:27 pmHaven't done one of these in a while.
1. What decade did you attend/are you attending high school or college? Mostly around the early 00s.
2. What clothing fashion from that time are you glad/do you wish went out of style? I never gave much of a fuck about fashion at the time. I was goth adjacent and didn't have any clue what anyone else was doing with themselves. Youtube feeds me nostalgia videos about fashion in my teen years and it's like a primer on a foreign country. I guess... frosted tips were kind of weird in hindsight.
3. Do you still listen to the music from your high school/college years on a regular basis? Not too much. Still listen to Dream Theater on occasion.
4. What hairstyle/hair color did/do you wear during high school/college? During high school I was depressed so had hip length hair that I rarely washed. In college I got myself together again. I also got my first short hair cut and that was a hilarious mistake because I went to some old lady who gave me an old lady haircut, but I simply had never been to a salon or anything and did not know how any of it worked. It grew out pretty fast at least.
5. What was/is "the cool thing to do" while in high school/college? I honestly have no fucking clue for high school. Whatever it was I wasn't doing it. In college it was of course drinking, but in my freshman year it was also a looooot of theft (I didn't participate with one major exception that almost got me kicked out of school.)
