Party Like Its 2006
2006 was a good year. And I’m not just saying that.
So it’s been about a month since the beginning of Spring quarter. And I’m already very very bored. The monotony of college life, despite it’s excitement, is getting to me. It’s the same cycle, day to day, week to week. And it’s been getting to me. A week ago, for some inexplicable reason, started watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which I found out about in 2006-ish. Some great stuff, by the way. And that led to a gradual regression to my sophomoric self. I started listening to Asian Kung Fu Generation again, along with AquaTimez. I again realized the appeal of watching Naruto and Bleach, despite the pitfalls and the drawn out delivery.
This immersion into weeabo-ness cultimated into Japanese pop culture just got me into a remanisant mood. I started thinking about 2006 and how it was a really good year, despite the angst and emo-ness that is also associated with it. And thinking about that year, and high school makes me very melancholic, knowing that nothing’s going for me now that I’m away from all of that.
On another note, I’ve been thinking more about my future, and whether I should really be pursuing a science major, specifically biology. And the more I think about it, the more a degree in animation looks more appealing. And the more I think about that, I’m intimidated by those animation students I’ve found out about via DA. And that, freezes me in indecision.
2006 was a great year. I wish I could relive it.
