Anybody else having a quarter life crisis?
I used to break up the year in my head as school time and summer time. I really can’t register that it’s summer because I still have to go to work. 28 days of annual leave is a shock to the system.
Joining the workforce will make you want to join a commune. What do you mean I have to ask my manager for 2 days off a month in advance and have to do extra work before and after.
In short, I need good quarter life crisis movie recs. Frances Ha type.Thanks.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

aand before you complain... I live in North East London. No recommendations in the Wild West.
CHESHAM ARMS near Hackney Central : amazing beer garden, piano on Sundays, boardgames to entertain yourself with, lovely staff
SEBRIGHTS ARMS near Hoxton/Bethnal Green : very crowded on Fridays and Saturdays, hit or miss gigs downstairs, indoor seating is quite spacious though, and if you're not packed in like sardines it can be quite enjoyable, the playlist is always great
SHACKLEWELL ARMS in Dalston : the smoking area is a quintessential East London experience, I can't reveal much more, it needs to be experienced
THE PRINCE GEORGE in Dalston : quite a nice pool table area if you're into that, quite a good sized outdoor seating area
THE VICTORIA in Dalston : I saw Lennon Gallagher there once, so, that's why it's on my list
SPURSTOWE ARMS in Dalston : when I say intimate lighting I mean you can barely see a thing... I would say a perfect date spot but it's quite a small space so you will be pushing through crowds to get a drink
MIKKELER in Shoreditch and Exmouth Market : both locations are great, Exmouth is a larger space and usually is more popular, I would also recommend going to Exmouth Market on a warm evening for a Parisian experience
THE DOVE in Broadway Market : They have great mulled wine around Christmas time. Great selection of beers on tap. Go on the weekend, when it's a sunny day.
PUB ON THE PARK in London Fields : MASSSIVE beer garden
THE FALTERING FULLBACK in Finsbury Park : deceiving beer garden split across several levels, making it seem very large, but it's still quite cute
AULD SHILLELAGH in Stoke Newington : one word: GUINNESS. The only good pint of Guinness I've had in London. Stokey is terribly connected though, so be prepared to walk from the overground or take a bus.
.... and when in doubt, look on Yard Sale Pizza's website for their pub partners. Order yourself the best pizza in London and have a pint to go with it.
London Pub Etiquette: Stare at someone for the whole night, never make a move, find them on Hinge later, match, never message, see them at another pub and pretend like you don't know who they are. You will be judged if you order wine, do not order a cocktail unless it's very simple to make. If more than one person in your party is ordering a Guinness, let the barperson know so they can pour them at the same time.
Highly recommend: bringing your own snacks as the beer will make you hungry, the kitchen will have closed, the crisps will be overpriced. Buying a pack of cigarettes to heavily breathe in and out in the smoking area and pose as a new wave actrice.
FYI: pubs are not clubs, they're not bars. They serve hearty food when the kitchen is open, and they serve good beer. The bathroom will be filthy, the air will feel sticky and stuffy. Drinks outside won't be allowed after 10-11 pm and it will close the latest around 1-2am. Honestly, why are you out past 2 am as a 20-something year old anyway. The overground and most tube lines shut before then and you probably need to sleep.
Love ya xx

the ability to focus on a single activity (i.e. not scrolling on my phone when watching a movie)
buying fresh produce and actually cooking with them. cooking new dishes.
the perfectly packed handbag with all the bits and bobs that make me feel fancy but it’s not heavy so I can carry it around all day
using less internet vernacular (hiding my tiktok addiction)
reaching out to people when i think of them
buying an ipod - being able to listen to music without draining my phone battery
new hi-fi setup
