Entry 21: Work In A Different Environment.

For this prompt I used the extracted concept of failure.

It was getting to that time in the term where there is a work overload and deadlines are looming and failure is not a something that I want to experience at this time so in order to counteract that I went to work in a different environment.

I went to my sisters place and it was the catalyst to getting lots of work done and thus failure was swiftly avoided.

Entry 20: Do A Dare.

Based on the extracted concept of courage, I decided to do this prompt.

For this prompt I asked my friend for a dare. I knew exactly what he was going to say before he actually answered though. He told me that he wanted me to jump into the pool with what I was wearing at that moment and to take before and after pictures. I knew at that moment that this would be the first prompt that I would fail.

I hate swimming and my friend knows that too. And there is no way that I would just jump into the pool in my clothes. And therefore, I failed this task.

Plant something and maintain it.

I got one of those grass hair monster thingies for my birthday from my friend and to be honest I'm not much of a green finger type of person so I decided to give it a try with this. I know it's a bit of a cheat because you don't need to plant it but omw maintaining it is a hassle. I keep on forgetting to give it water and it needs the sun the whole time so I need to move everywhere because it can't be outside and yeah. So that is my story. The concept I took from this is “ get out of your comfort zone”

Entry 19: Write Down 100 Questions.

I did this task with the extracted concept of friendship in mind.

What I did was I wrote down 100 questions that one could use to get to know someone new or just fun things to ask friends.

I did it all on one page and in different colours for funsies.

As a highly awkward person I always feel the strain when trying to make friends and having pre-thought out questions is something I think could really help. I also believe that the ability to talk to new people and making friends is something one has to be incredibly strong to do.

Entry 18: Eat Something Culturally New.

For the concept of skill I finally got to experience Ramen!

As a friend group we decided to go out for dinner one night. It was for our two friends’ birthdays (belated and future) and we went to a really nice restaurant for Asian cuisine. It was amazing... I was sooooo hungry and it just hit the right spot!

Just the creation of such a dish is amazing skill and OMG was it AMAZING!!!! I can cook but like not like this so..... wooooow!

We even got dessert afterwards which was AMAZING! It was like a sesame and vanilla ice cream thing it was just so interestingly new and delicious.

Entry 16: Visit A Small Town You’ve Never Been To Before.

The concept that is depicted in this entry is difference. The concept is shown in an adventure to Heidelberg.

We went on another adventure!!! It was for someone’s birthday party thing and I had a lot more fun than I thought I would (which is always a good thing).It was different because I was kind of a tag along with other friends and I didn't know the people all that well.

But it was super fun and we got to see the stars!!!! I love seeing the stars!! The stars just make me so happy and kind of give me a sense of pleasure. It’s weird but it’s just how I feel.

We also played an Afrikaans version of capture the flag in the fields at night which was kinda freaky but I survived and there was cake and really good food so all in all a great adventure to Heidelberg.

Entry 14: Change Your Appearance Drastically.

Based on the extracted concept rarity I interpreted this prompt by wearing a skirt two days in a row.

[Play this song while you read] 

Now I know this doesn’t seem like a drastic change but to me, it is. I never, and I mean NEVER, wear skirts. My best friend has only ever seen me in a skirt once and my friends from varsity were very confused as to why I was wearing a skirt. So this is definitely a drastic change to my appearance.

In doing this task I realise a couple things about skirts. So I’m going to list them right now:

1. I have nowhere to put my things! Where am I supposed to put my phone or my keys or my lip ice???? It’s problematic, and I don’t agree with the design.

2. Pairing a skirt with a shirt takes an inconveniently long amount of time. It has to look right or be the right colour and don’t even get me started on the shoes! For someone who religiously wears sneakers, I feel very discriminated against. But I made it work.

3. I definitely don’t own enough skirts for this to be a constant thing, and I doubt I’d want to wear a dress to varsity... but I did feel nice and pretty so I guess it wasn’t too bad.

So after this task, I’m back to shorts and jeans because skirts are effort that I don’t want to put in.

Entry 13: Go All Out At A Dress Up Party.

So I went all out at a dress up party! 

Anyway so this is relevant in terms of the last extraction because the concept was significance. So the significant event I went to was my cousin’s Bat Mitzvah (you know.. when a jewish girl turns 12 and becomes a young woman... yeah that).

I wore a dress and everything! TWICE! (It was a two parter event). I don’t usually wear dresses and wear makeup or high heels (at all) so it was kinda fun? But only kinda lol. It was a lot of effort but yes.

And when my feet got sore or my shoes started to annoy me, I had comfy awesome converse to wear (YEEEEE).
