Winter Bash (KARAOKE!)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On the 18th of January of this new year, the Bioengineering society\u00a0organized a celebratory event with free drinks, free snacks &amp; karaoke!<\/p>\n<p>The celebration was for those students whose exams are almost finished. However, for first years (like me), we didn&#8217;t have many exams in the beginning of the new term. But we did have several coursework to do over the break.<\/p>\n<p>The drinks and snacks were simple &#8211; fruit juice, soda, chips, cheese and crackers. But what made everyone&#8217;s night, at least for me, was the karaoke.<\/p>\n<p>This was my first karaoke event, and I was self-conscious at first because after hearing recordings of myself, I believe that my voice is not one for music. At the event, however, I decided to let loose and just have fun.<\/p>\n<p>And it was.<\/p>\n<p>It was actually addicting. (Probably explains why I went to another karaoke event with the Cross Country club <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/studentblogs\/franz15\/2016\/01\/29\/ally-pally-lcl\/\">9 days later<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>After singing Riptide (by Vance Joy) with my Bioengineering friends, I wanted to keep on going but since I was also the photographer for the night, I had to GTS (get the shots).
