PROMPT: What was your favourite day ever? Why?

I would say my favourite day has to be second day of Year 9 camp. School camps always make me feel like I’m on a different planet because it is nice to have a break from your home life. We did absailing, the flying fox, watched The Devil Wears Prada, tried walking to the main cabin from our one in the dark (really dangerous but was also funny as well since we were bringing along our sleeping bags and pillows), had trivia night as well. I also really liked first day of Year 12 retreat. Again, it was the nice natural environment that made me really appreciate the world we lived in.

Would love if my uni had a camp. Camps are usually the place where I learn a new thing about myself and grow I suppose.

Hate to get all philosophical and stuff but it's hard to pinpoint a favourite day ever because I feel like life is full of highs and lows that you can't really compare. You've got loads of different kinds of happy and it's really damn hard to choose a favourite day, maybe because I've forgotten many of the details in the past or whatever.

That being said though, in recent times today was pretty good (Spurs 3-2 Ajax #COYS), so was the day I got my maths results from this sem (probably the best results I've ever gotten for any subject), the exhilaration at the end of exhausting hikes in Year 9 and 10, winning an academic decathlon with my mates in Year 9, finishing the tennis season a few months ago, and loads more I can't even name. Probably the thing that all those moments and days involve is pain leading up to them and effort (watching Spurs 3-0 down at half time on aggregate, all the revision, energy loss and hard hiking the whole time (literally crumpling on the train on the way back after Year 9), the struggle of even completing some of the tasks, and the toughness of the training sessions), then finishing in pure happiness that makes the pain worth it. That's probably the key point when it comes to having a good day for me, even though I can't pick any one day :)

PROMPT: What was your favourite day ever? Why?

Like most have already said I think it’d be hard to pick one day in specific that’s my favourite ever, but there’s one memory from late last year in particular that I think I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

It may not seem that significant to others, but after one of my friend’s 18th, I ubered home with a really good friend (that I’ve known since year 6), he was basically one of my first good friends that I made in Australia. And on the night that we ubered home it turned out we were locked outside the house, so we decided to literally just lie down on the footpath (we were both quite drunk) and talk. We’ve opened up to each other before but this night I think we just completely spilled everything in each other’s life and I fell like we connected even more than ever had before. Funny thing is, neither of us have ever brought up that night again so I don’t even know if he remembers, but I’ll never forget it.

Woah... That honestly sounds so beautiful. I definitely think it's significant, it's one of those really rare, sublime times you'll share with someone that can just be purely platonic but so special no one will ever be able to understand or comprehend its meaning but the two of you. I very much doubt he doesn't remember, I think just like you he'll always remember it, it sounds like an unforgettable moment you'll both always treasure. Idk this really touched me a lot, I hope to experience something so profound and beautiful someday. Thanks for sharing this.

@J41, you have to actually answer some of these questions yourself :p

You're right.

Possibly not my absolute favourite, but certainly one of my happiest days and one I think about often (still): U16s cricket premiership. Was just an awesome day, loved every minute of it. It was a great way to finish junior cricket.

I would probably have to say I really could not care less about ‘modern’ fashion and those overly complicated or minimalistic outfits that are displayed at catwalks. However in terms of presenting myself I obviously would like to look decent, though I don’t really know if my ‘style’ is mainstream. I tend to just wear trackies with a hoodie when going out with mates or jeans and a shirt (and maybe a jacket) if it’s a more formal occasion.

I don't really have an interest for high end fashion and fashion shows- they're simply not my taste. However, when it comes to my own fashion I do try my best to look good. Ever since starting my tertiary education, that's when I've become more aware of how my clothing can impact first impressions as well as my self confidence. I do have three different looks: Japanese schoolgirl/international student (feels like im about to sign a business proposal and attend my high school classes all at the same time), broke art student (baggy clothes and layering) and normal (wearing plain jeans and a top- usually wear this when I'm not at university.) I suppose going to an arts college adds more pressure on needing to look good. It genuinely feels like I'm in a fashion competition at uni and the one with the best outfit gets the most compliments.

Thongs with jeans are cool and no one can convince me otherwise

hmm

a year ago: gave absolute 0 shits, tracks and oversized hoodies were my go to options.

started going to a lot more parties and functions

came to realise I was very underdressed, looked like an absolute spud.

currently: my younger brother ( fashion freak ) has completely changed my wardrobe, so now days I 'fit' in with the fashion trends and stuff. Mostly wear denim and hoodies however

I'm currently wearing my only pair of trackies, a long sleeve white t-shirt, and a knitted sweater my girlfriend bought me today from the op shop because she knew I'd like it.

Pretty reflective of my general fashion choices or lack thereof lol.
