Festivities

So last weekend I attended a three-day bender at the largest winter music festival Australia has - Splendour in the Grass. So the question I ask myself is why do I road-trip 6 hours, live "subhuman" (as my friend coins it) for three days not showering, eat processed canned food, dwell in our rubbish tip of a campsite, and just generally sleep in my own filth and sweat. I guess it's all for three days of discovering new music, good friends, and most importantly pure escapism.

The Precipice of Adulthood

So most recently I was chatting to my friend while visiting Sydney and he was filling me in on his new goals for this year of which one of the major themes was the idea that he was now going to be focussed on his career and getting ahead professionally. Our conversation eventually explored the idea that my group in Sydney is more than ever on the precipice of the transition into full blown adulthood and responsibility with about half already having full-time jobs and the other half it feels stalling university as long as possible. Needless to say, it really got me thinking about my own life and its direction.
