Everyone else’s lives always seem to be so much better than mine. Everyone is travelling and off doing cool things, working cool jobs and just generally having an excellent time. This is of course according to social media.

After talking to a number of close girl friends about this sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) that I suffer, I came to the realization that I am not alone. Far from it. All of my friends are experiencing the same thing. Each week that passes it seems like another one of their friends is off on a great big new OE or adventure somewhere. It also seems like everyone is getting married and having babies (uhh gross no thanks).
