Cape Town - "So no one told you, life was going to be this way.

Let’s go through the not-so-roaring twenties together.
1) The joy of going to varsity/university in one of the most beautifully fun cities in the world.
2) FINALLY GRADUATING despite this painful distraction of a party city. We only sobered up like a month after graduation night.

3) Missing the mess that was university social life. WHERE DID YOUR FRIENDS GO AFTER GRADUATION?

4) The struggle to find an internship that involves doing the actual work you want to get into and not just being a slave to the man. No one man needs all that power.
