Okay so I thought taking a long break from work (a month and a half) would be a great idea and all. I mean after almost a year of doing my pupilage, you just want to relax you know what I mean? But here are 5 reasons why I'm not enjoying it so much.

1. Trying to live the tai tai life (in Chinese it means a wealthy married woman who does not work. And yes, I googled that to find the exact meaning) on a budget isn't fun. The definition itself said wealthy and well, married. But you could always be wealthy without being married but that's besides the point. I mean I am a struggling millennial. I can't afford to live on the lifestyle of the rich while not earning anything. Therefore, I can't do (or splurge) on lots of things.
2. Your friends and boyfriend are all working. I mean being 23 means everyone is finally entering the real world. And lets face it, as much as we wish we could still go out and party every night, we are all getting a little too old for that. When I was working, I would be in bed by 11. That, or I would still be in the office. So you have no one to hang out with apart from your mum during the day. And trust me, I spent the entire morning with my mum yesterday and I just crashed and burn when I got back. It was so tiring! And did I shop? Nope. The only exciting thing I got were my contact lens solution and some vitamin C from the pharmacy.
3. You gain weight. I've been so bored lately that all I do is eat! I guess I have no one to blame but myself for this.
4. You start feeling lazy. Like I said, all I do is sleep, eat, binge watch TV series and youtube and occasionally I do read. But all of this involves me being on my bed (except for eating.....I guess). And that makes me feel so tired and lazy all the time!! I know I told myself I should exercise but...okay no buts. I should just start exercising after this.
5. You miss work. I do. I miss being productive. But like I said, I'm going to regret not enjoying my break once I start working so I should just stop moaning and moping and make the most out of it.
