Stop interrupting my grinding
Girls Think I'm Funny The Quarter Life Crisis wouldn't be complete without a messy break-up - followed by tears, cocktails, wine, more cocktails, therapy and an unwelcome appreciation for Celine Dion. While the world is full of pressure to meet the 'one' (the one who won't blue tick you on WhatsApp), if something isn't right… Continue reading Stop interrupting my grinding
Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
There comes a point in adulthood when you feel the pressure to have grown up and become 'who you really are'. If I was destined to be a confused twenty-something with lactose intolerance, an abundance of Love Island references and a worrying obsession with unicorns then I'd say I'm living the dream. But what I… Continue reading Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
Ready, Steady, wait until the smoke alarm goes off and you know it’s cooked
Girls Think I'm Funny Has anyone else noticed that their social media feeds and TV channels are clogged up with people telling us to do more with food than just eat it?

Hair Don’t

I’ve got 99 plans but I can’t stick to one
As someone who prides themselves on their organisation skills, I'm currently hiding behind perfectly arranged, colour coordinated cushions in embarrassment - I've double booked my friends and now I have to break the bad news. Before my Quarter Life Crisis, sticking to a plan was as simple as, well, sticking to a plan. Now adulthood… Continue reading I’ve got 99 plans but I can’t stick to one
Pie-gate
I came home the other day to discover that my boyfriend had bought us a pie. In normal circumstances, I would SHOVE MY FACE STRAIGHT INTO THE PIE and go back for seconds, obviously. But this occasion was different... My boyfriend's choice - Steak and Stilton - was wasted on me. My Dad is allergic to… Continue reading Pie-gate
The Job Interview
Betches As many Quarter Life Crisis survivors will tell you, your adulthood can often be spent in and out of (rather awkward) job interviews.
