CONCERTS

Concerts are literally an obsession for us 16-17-18 year olds these days. It's almost like the new definition of 'cool'. There's two types of people that go to these - 1. The ones who genuinely KNOW what they're listening to and would only go for concerts they like. 2. The ones who go to ALL the concerts just so that can boast about it on their Snapchat, Instagram, Ask, WhatsApp and Twitter, without even knowing about the artist or the songs. 

I'd like to point out that how most of us dress/ behave in a concert is very very wrong. Here's some tips that you can boast about to someone else :

• DO NOT wear make up for a concert. You're not going for a party or a fashion show. You're going to sweat like a pig and even your smudge-free make up will smudge. If you cannot go out without make up, just use an eye pencil and a very light/ nude lip color. NOT more than that. 
• DO NOT wear dresses/ skirts. Unless you want everyone to see your granny/ sexy ass underpants. And your fat/ skinny thighs. Avoid anything that's unmanageable to not embarrass yourself. Wear shorts or pants ONLY. Or 3/4ths ( No don't. )
• DO NOT wear tight clothes. Be comfortable. Once again, BE COMFORTABLE. Because what if your boobs pop out of your tight top. WHAT IF. Wear loose and comfortable clothes because you have to jump a lot. No tacky things popping out of your clothes, because it might tear or break, It's too crowded and nobody gives a shit.
• DO NOT style your hair. Leave them open and keep a rubberband in handy. ( I forgot and my friend Romal gave me hers <3 But you don't find such lifesavers all the time. )
• NO HIGH HEELS. And avoid fancy flats too, because you're gonna be stamped. A. Million. Times. Wear shoes.
• Don't over accessorize if you care about your accessories.
• Keep calm when people push or stamp you unless it's accidentally-on-purpose or it's too hard. Because that stuff is bound to happen.
• Be patient. Because most of the time you have to wait a lot.
• Stay with someone for obvious reasons of getting lost and not being able to locate the others in the crowd.
• Don't get drunk if you know your parents will screw your case. And don't drink so much if you're not with someone trustworthy. Don't depend on anyone.
• Don't dance like you do on Bollywood tracks and embarrass yourself. All you have to do is some signature concert steps ( you can youtube them or copy from the people around you ) and put your hands up and jump. Easy peasy. Don't be conscious because, again, nobody cares. 
• Don't carry a lot of stuff with you. Only some money in your pocket and take care of your cell phone. Keep your bags or jackets in the car. Or don't carry them at all.
• Eat something light and keep yourself hydrated because you might faint or get tired.

So yeah, for all of us concert-obsessed people, those were just tips to be more comfortable and happy and ENJOY OUR ASS OFF. So yeah, I hope I helped.

THE PERFECT FIGURE

This is one of those MAJOR teen obsessions of having the perfect hot figure, no matter what. And not only girls, guys too. Having a six pack and veins popping out of your hands is a must. The bloody 'I'll kill myself because of the body I have and I won't try enough but crib, yes crib, because it's my birthright and it's free' attitude is what has gotten into many of us these days. We'll go to the gym, play ten thousand different sports and stuff to maintain our physique, but when the lazy mood kicks in, it's over. All we ever want to do is eat popcorn and watch movies. Or sleep. AND CRAVE FOR SOMETHING AND MAKE SURE IT HAS BEEN EATEN OR LIFE WOULD HAVE NO MEANING. This was just one kind of people. ( my kind ) The others are quite the opposite. Once they realize they've grown fat, they'll absolutely stop eating, skip meals, etc. This, in my opinion, is a very bad practise because yes, you manage to lose weight, but your face has no charm and it becomes extremely dull. And you also become weak.

If you have a perfect figure, yes, good for you. But if you do not, don't harm yourself just in order to look good, because people still love you just the way you are. And it's still you being yourself. And you're awesome ( pfft, obviously ) Having bigger boobs or a sexier ass or a six pack or a perfect pair of muscles is not a necessity, it's just a choice.

EX OBSESSION : FACEBOOK

Yep, Facebook is just too far out for us today, what with stuff like Instagram and Ask and Snapchat and Twitter gaining more popularity. But, let's face it, there was definitely a time when were all absolutely obsessed with Facebook! I remember being in grade 5 and being one of the very few people who didn't use Facebook ( because my dad never allowed me ) During breaks or any time we had to chit chat, Facebook was literally the only hot topic. And the people with Facebook accounts were amongst the 'cool people'...

... Until I finally got an account in grade 7! And then it was a routine. Facebook for an hour right after school, when most of us were online together. We would do all sorts of stuff that we find utter nonsense now : Playing games like Uno and Farmville, chatting with friends with every word turned into a short form to sound cooler ( I call it the 'mah lyf mah rulezzz' language ), posting those pictures where you tag your friends for a particular caption ( I remember doing it a lot from tagmypals.com ), making weird ass school groups, sending friend requests to teachers and boasting about it, keeping celebrity displays, etc

Even now when you look back at your 2 year old Facebook posts, you'll either laugh at how you were or find it impossible to digest the fact that that was YOU. Facebook had been an obsession for a really long time, until we FINALLY gave up on it.

NUTELLA!

Personally not a huge fan of Nutella, but Nutella has turned into the absolute king of spreads. And milkshake flavour. And licking. And making the others jealous. They say, once you start eating you JUST. CAN'T. STOP. because it is so rich and smooth and chocolaty and nutty and delicious. And no, Nutella with a spoon or a butter knife is just too mainstream, we'll definitely eat with our fingers in slow motion moving our fingers inside the container in an almost seductive way and then slooooowwwllyyyy removing the finger out with that perfect gooey Nutella and then you put in your already salivating mouth and then you accidentally-on-purpose put it around your lips and click a picture and post it as your Snapchat story, because, of course, you're having Nutella, the others aren't.

The best part is, it goes with everything. Be it bread or hot chocolate or cakes or cupcakes or ice cream or fruit ( not sure about fruit. Who eats fruit anyway? ). In fact, we Indians want everything our way, because we got swag. So Nutella can also be eaten with theplas, parathas, khakhras, etc.

Almost anything that is edible and tastes good is an obsession. So is Nutella.

Stop getting seduced.

RED LIPSTICK

Okay, this one is more of a girly topic, but I think guys should read it too and not crib about how red lipsticks make girls look bad, because they don't. In fact, it is one of the best things that was ever made. Because red is such a rich, outstanding, tempting color, who wouldn't want a red lipstick?! I can bet that 80% girls have a red lipstick, and at least 10% have 50 different shades and finishes. Aaand, red lipstick goes with almost everything. Be it going to the beach or to a normal dinner or to a kick ass party, red lipstick be the absolute KILLER. Also, it goes with most skin tones so it doesn't make anyone look bad. THAT MEANS RED LIPSTICK IS ANTI-RACIST AND BELIEVES IN EQUALITY AND THAT IS SO COOL! 

When you're having a bad day and your hair's not staying put and you feel like why are you even born? Just put on a stunning shade of red lipstick and you're definitely good to go. And to all the guys, buy your girls stuff like lipsticks rather than flowers or rings. Because red lipstick be so hot.

SELFIES!

This has literally been one of the most long - lasting obsessions, and it definitely still exists. Wherever we go, whatever we do, selfies are a ritual. In fact, it has become so important now, that instead of enjoying what's actually happening, we make sure that the moment is captured. And why selfies, and not normal pictures? Because we're just awesomesauce. That, and because selfies enable us to see ourselves and decide the angle and pose we look best in. Also, if we want our sexy ass figure to be seen, we can click a mirror selfie! So basically, I can call it the 'ideal' method of photography. 

And clicking normal selfies, no, it's just not our thing. Nor is clicking just ONE selfie. Nor is clicking it while doing some thing normal.
So let me give my typical selfie routine ( mine and some other amazing ass people like me )

• Wake up, messy hair, clear face ( it's just surprisingly bizarre that my face looks clean when I wake up ). So, morning selfie!
•  Next, I'm brushing and I realise how cool I look when the brush is hanging on the side with my hand in this perfect position on the brush, brush selfie!
• And this one be da absolute baws of selfies! The poop selfie! I have this signature pose of doing the peace out sign ( which btw, also represents poop ) and clicking. And trust me I click every morning without fail.
• Then after having a shower and all you have this beautiful fresh face with wet hair and fresh new clothes, the 'ootd' ( outfit of the day ) selfie!
• And then you go to college and meet your friends and before the professor arrives you take the 'pre-boring-lecture' selfie!
• And during the break there's bound to be a mirror selfie in the washroom with all of them gals
• Then later I go home, eat, freshen up, time to go to the gym. There's mostly a pre-workout or a post-workout selfie. Or both.
• Aaaand finally the good night sleepy selfie! 

So yea, that's my selfie game. *peace out* *woot woot*

Not only us teens these days, but elders are starting to get obsessed to these selfies too. The other day I saw my mom clicking a selfie because she'd recently bought a new outfit. Be it young or old, selfies have become an obsession.

P.S. I forgot to mention the extensive pouting and tongue-out-ing that takes place.

PIZZA!

Overrated as it may sound to SOME people ( notice the emphasis on some ), pizza is one of the things we keep obsessing about a lot, be it deliberately or secretly at the back of our minds. That gooey amazing cheeeeeeeeeese and other stuff ( bleh ) is SO TEMPTING. Don't y'all have watery mouths desperate for pizza already? 

The moment you order pizza you suddenly feel like you're the happiest person on this planet. And the others shouldn't even have a reason to live. And I'm not even saying just for the heck of it, because:

• You'll NEVER forget to mention at least once when you're messaging someone that you're having pizza.
• Most people post pizza snaps on Snapchat as their story.
• Many girls I've seen - "Who are you dating?" "Piiiizzzaaaa"
• "What is the best thing you've ever come across?" "Pizza."
• Whenever you watch FIFA or anything for that matter, pizza is the most likely thing you'd order.
• Pizza doesn't need to be served, and we're lazy. There, perfect.
• It smells awesome.
• We can always ask for free extra chilly flakes and oregano.
• Domino's gives Buy 1 get 1 pizza free on Wednesdays.
• My Whatsapp wallpaper is a pizza.

So you see the odds? The only drawback to it is that it makes you fat, but then... *sigh*
Pizza be dabaws, hence the obsession. B)

This pizza be so sexy.

About and ish

Right. So I finally have a blog! This one's going to be about obsessions, specially the ones we teens face. Because we keep obsessing over things ALL THE TIME. So yes, I came up with the idea because I couldn't sleep last night. And I was thinking. About stuff. But why obsessions? Dunno. :| But anyway, as it turns out, I have content and so here I am! Writing! 

P.S I suck at writing in that sort of really flower-y ( is that even a word? ) way, with vocabulary that neither of us would understand. So yea, I'm just going to write in plain, grammatically correct English to put forth my point. Because I'm 'simplicity-is-the-ultimate-sophistication' like that. :P
