So there was this hangout that me and my friends decided to plan. It was in the month of February I believe. We all decided to meet up at a restaurant, you know, just to have some fun, some girl time together. So we went there and we all were talking about what is happening in our life lately. All of us were a little stressed because it was the month of February and we had our exams in March. They were very crucial exams for us as they were our board exams. So yes, we were all a little bit stressed and during that point of time I was not using any social media. I was barely opening my Instagram or any other social media apps. I was not really that up to date with the recent trends that were going on. But my friends were up to date. They were not using that with Instagram at that point or any other social media I believe. But yes, there was this recent trend that was going on. Maybe there was some, it was a Tyler dance or something like that. And they were very, very interested in that dance and they were constantly talking about that and I had no idea what was that. So I felt kind of left out and I even told them that we should change the topic. I don’t know what you guys are talking about. But they didn’t change it because they really loved that trend and they were constantly talking about it. So for a moment of time I did felt left out and eventually they continued the topic for too long and I got bored. But after the topic was over and they stopped this discussion, they were talking back to, they were talking about their exams and all the other things. So I did felt bored and left out for a small moment of period in that talk. But yes, I did catch up with them later. Now because they are very good friends, you know, we are very close friends. So we can’t really take, so I can’t really be that bored with them all the time. I have fun with them every single time and I don’t get bored a lot. But yes, there are some instances that I had like the one I shared with them.
