Google calendar
Maybe one of the greatest modern inventions since white bread. Wanna catch up for coffee? Send a calendar invite. Going on 3 hinge dates this week but don't know which person goes for which day? That's on you..
A great way to hold yourself accountable for not flaking on plans. The calendar is connected to your gmail account, so when you buy tickets for a gig online it automatically adds it into your calendar and notifies you days before. So there's no way it'll sneak up on you!
How good is technology??
Nothing screams fatherly neglect like being dependent on this youtube channel.
The entire channel revolves around this sweet Alaskan family, boasting a dad who gets disproportionately hyped about searing steak in an igloo. The dad takes his family camping in the Alaskan tundra and teaches them survival skills that maybe most of us don't even know, and when he’s with his kids, the Alaskan snow that surrounds them takes on a warmer tint, almost like someone put on the Sepia filter. The dad’s overwhelming positivity is so pure and unfettered by everything else going on around him - and for a moment you feel as though you’ve gone camping with him instead.

Having a good knife in the kitchen
“Ohhhh dont use that knife… use this knife.. This is the good knife” many a time can be overheard spoken softly from the kitchen here at Safari Park HQ.
You own a good knife, you keep it sharp, the handle was made from recycled skateboards or something - its something you are so proud of, but you have to be picky as to who uses it in your compact sharehouse kitchen because not everybody is going to polish and dry it after every use (i'm too shy to say this in the housemate group chat so im taking it out on here..)
Nothing contradicts wrist dexterity and knife skills more than a knife with an edge like your hard copy Ottolenghi cookbook. Try to slice a tomato and end up with tomato soup etc etc… we’ve all been there! Pair your well adjusted mid-to-late-twenties lifestyle with a good knife, and the know-how to sharpen it
Riding your bicycle (feeling the wind in your hair)
Perhaps the most elite form of transport - nothing makes you feel more boss-like than walking out of the party, and hopping on your two-wheeled chariot.
Whilst everyone else vacating the party is at their most vulnerable: sitting on the curb waiting and praying their uber doesn’t cancel on them.
You clip your helmet on, you roll your right pant leg up and do a little kick off, and now you’re free as a bird
Oat Hot Choccy (in winter) (must be oatly)
The closest thing to a big warm hug from someone you love in a fluffy fur jacket and they kiss you on the cheek and say you look stunning - but in a mug, would be an oat hot choccy made with oatly (crucial).
One day, a little birdy flew into our room and told us that partygoers at an outdoor party during the peak of winter will want sustenance via oat hot choccy, and we listened to the birdy - and i'm glad we did because we’ve never felt bliss like that mug of hot choccy.
SMOOCHIES!
