| 0:00.0 | When was the sadness or cringe so bad that you just had to check out of reality for a few minutes? |
| 0:06.5 | In seventh grade, I got my back-to-school clothes. |
| 0:09.4 | For some reason, I thought yellow pants and a yellow Hawaiian shirt looked awesome. |
| 0:13.8 | I was excited to wear this new outfit. |
