Anonymous asked: Like your website. I read a few of what you posted here and what was posted in another blog (wordpress). I post through another website but am trying to get myself a more connected, satisfying position (journalism, media, etc). Anyways, I can relate with what you write, and for that I enjoy it.

Things that society expects of a 20 something...
2) Wash a load of white clothes without turning everything pink.
I learnt this the hard way a few weeks back!
No matter how many times I check, somehow a coloured item will always fall into my white load.
God my life is boring…

Things that society expects of a 20 something...
I turn 23 in 26 days!
The question is: Do I feel like a 23 year old?
The answer is no.
I look my age – some may even say I look older!
Yet I have days where I feel no different from when I was 18. Then on the other hand I have days where I feel closer to 30.
But when I tell people my age they seem surprised. Like somehow I don’t display the characteristics of a 23 year old and this has made me...

One Step at a Time
Well, I got a job! I’m now in my second week as an editorial assistant at www.thegroomingguide.com, a male fashion and beauty e-magazine run by a former editor of Vogue and Harpers Bizarre. Not necessarily a field I thought I’d work in. Although I must say I’m enjoying it so far.
Last week I got to approach and interview a few celebrities about their grooming routines. That was pretty...

You've Been "Googled"
Since its launch in 1997, Google Search has changed the world we live in. By no means the first search engine (that honour goes to the Aliweb, released in 1993), it was the first to become ingrained in our culture, as people up and down the country began to “Google”.
Today Google search is regarded by most internet users as the go-to search engine for our entire web browsing needs.

Talking About My Generation
Now Valentine’s Day is out of the way I can venture back onto the web, safe in the knowledge that I won’t have to read any more mushy and clichéd love messages on twitter or Facebook, or better still the classic “I’m single but I don’t care” type message – clearly you don’t enjoy being alone because you feel the need to tell the world you’re single on supposedly the most romantic day of the year....

Like Mike you'll never see super slimline Mii
According to my brother’s Nintendo I’m obese. I stood on his Wii Fit board the other day and watched to my horror as my Mii ballooned up to the size of James Corden!
I accept I’m not skinny. I certainly can’t fit into anything sold at Topman. When I walk out of the sea women don’t swoon like they do over Daniel Craig in his budgie smugglers. But neither do they call the RSPCA to report a beached...

Have You Got The X Factor?
“Hi, I’m Matthew and welcome to my video CV. I have decided to produce this video because, as I’m sure you’re aware, communications has changed. The pen and paper method is now just one approach available for reaching a target audience, therefore it is important that potential employees, like myself, are media savvy and understand the power of multimedia in the market place.”
This was the intro to...

Stage 1: The Application
You’ve got to love a snow day! A day off work! You’re free to enjoy the simply joys of home life. You know the ones; Loose Women (the daytime TV programme – you dirty minded so and so!), Football Manager before lunchtime and a chance to catch up on any housework or that DIY project that’s been on the cards since last year’s snow day.
Bliss.
No commute. No angry bosses. No pressure.
That’s the case...

The Graduate’s Conundrum Part Deux: needing...
Morning/Afternoon/Evening one and all,
I’d like to start this entry from where I left off last time, hence the highly unoriginal, ‘Part Deux’, in the title.
So it’s June 2011. I’m fresh off the plane after a 24 hour flight from Sydney to London, and the mental scares caused by the robotic Germans are slowly beginning to heel - although I think I shall forever have a fear of bunk beds!
The day I...

The Graduate's Conundrum: needing experience to...
‘Life’. For the average person in the developed world life can be very predictable. We’re born, we grow, we go to school, we make friends, we go to ‘BIG’ school, we lose friends (but it’s ok because we make new ones), we hit puberty, we experience many firsts, we take exams, we leave school. This procedure is set in stone. As individuals we approach this procedure in different ways, which in turn...
