A millennials attempt at adulting
Holla, I'm Mel. I'm currently in my 20s, and trying my best to swim against the current which is popularly known as the 'rat race'. I enjoys taking naps and feasting on mentaiko sushi. I also struggle with this confusing thing called Adultng. This blog is a personal journal for me to pen down my thoughts towards the different elements of adulting, and how I struggle with it. Hopefully, this will serve as a space for me to laugh at my past self, in the very near future.
