Am I a twixter?
Was reading Time magazine on an article called "Meet the twixters". Twixters - a new generation of young adults who hop from job to job, mate to mate... and live with their parents for cost-saving reasons.. haha. Or more like, it's so expensive these days to live out on ur own, twixters got no choice with the measly sum of money they get perhaps. Plus, most people would have settled down at the age of 23-25 a few generations ago.. but it's not so common these days. Well, surprisingly there are a few of my friends who are already married or getting married though. So it makes me wonder... am I a twixter?Well it's not necessarily a bad thing the article says. Young adults are searching for who they are and who they are capable of being, looking for the ideal partner and not just settling for the sake of settling down. But being a young adult, I have to say that things are definitely different nowadays then it was in "those" days. U hear of people who make it big by selling shoes from door to door, nowadays everyone has a degree, so it's no biggie. And education is expensive, makes me wonder how long I have to work to recover the cost of my education for that matter. What about the yuppie lifestyle? All the clothes, shoes and cosmetics that a girl needs or those cool techie stuff like ipods and digital cameras and mobile phones. Can anyone blame this generation for our lifestyle?

That's so true. A degree and your marks mean jack nowadays. If you're not involved in anything extracurricular, there's little chance of getting a decent job! (unless you're a genius like emeryz here!). Yes, us twixters have it good, should never lose sight of that!
