- Age is a number, but never a limit. Unless you make it so, or want it to be. (E.g. “I’m too old to handle a hostel dorm! I’ll just book a hotel instead…”)
- That being said, (prospective) undergraduates these days feel so incredibly young. As somebody who worked a UG open day event the other week: enjoy university, little friends!
- Yes, I know that they are children. The prospective UGs.
- You are NEVER too old for an ice cream at the beach.
- Whether you can ever get too old to burn slightly and come away from your trip to the beach with a funny shorts-tan will take some more thought.
- Naturally, you will also never outgrow the excitement of a sunny day out, at the beach or some other place of your choosing.
- Especially if you have company that you enjoy.
- Mind you, even if you are going to the beach, on a sunny day, with nice company, I suspect we were ALL born too old to be stuck in a hot car on the motorway.
- People of all ages will appreciate a museum, be it for the content, the learning, the incessant analysis and snarking that comes from having researched museums, the cafe, or the fantastic air conditioning.
- Or all of the above.
- (Sometimes it is a shame to have ever had a hobby as your job. But this is something that is possible to grow out of, if you wish.)
- (I hope.)
- Hobbies themselves are crucial at all ages, so make time for them.
- Including sleeping.
- Especially sleeping.
- On your own, or with others.
- I firmly believe in making time for the things you like, or find important. And that is final.
