Gen Z Diary: I’d eat up a Lisdoonvarna matchmaking festival reality TV show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every so often, my Instagram Explore page takes me to a weird side of the internet. For a week I’ll be fed a constant stream of videos of dachshunds, or book reviews, or celebrity interviews. It’s definitely not a great use of my time, but I enjoy it all the same. As of late, my explore page has consisted of an absurd quantity of videos of people travelling to Lisdoonvarna for the matchmaking festival. You have reached your article limit. Already a subscriber?

Gen Z Diary: I’m not someone who experiences FOMO but Electric Picnic is different (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The last weekend in August is a significant occasion in a young person’s social calendar. If it wasn’t for this week-end, Co Laois would be resigned to the same fate as Longford or Roscommon: Places you could easily go a lifetime without visiting. I’ve never met someone who’s actually from Laois. To be honest, I’m not totally convinced people live there year-round. But I do know that practically every person in my life has been there. The reason for that is, of course, Electric Picnic. The one w
Gen Z Diary: We were taught the Leaving Cert was the single most significant thing â it's not (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every couple of months, I wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of panic, thinking I have shown up to my Leaving Cert maths exam without a calculator. Then I remember that Iâm 22 and I have already served my country as a burnt out student, and I donât have to do that ever again. Itâs a national trauma we have bestowed upon us at 18 years old: The Leaving Cert. We were brainwashed into thinking the single most significant thing we could do in our lives was sit the Leaving Cert. You ha
Gen Z Diary: There's nothing quite like the chaos of a music festival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If youâve ever started your day by waking up in a pool of your own sweat, mascara smudged under your eyes, and the vague scent of a burger radiating from the jacket you had to layer onto yourself in the middle of the night, you have experienced the holy trinity of the music festival experience. Well done! You may feel like youâve died and gone to hell, but really, youâre just a girl in your 20s. And you should probably be basking in the uncouth glory of this phase of your life. You see, la
Gen Z Diary: Anyone using Snapchat in their 20s needs to take a long, hard look at themselves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s nothing more humbling than walking into a nightclub and realising that you are your friends are the oldest people in the crowd. It seems ridiculous to say it that at 22, but 18-year-olds genuinely view us as ancient monuments. They’ll say hurtful things like: “Wait…no way, you don’t look 22”, and smile like they’ve just made the OAP on the dancefloor feel better about herself. I get it, I used to look at people who had finished college as these fully formed beings, so mature and world-wi
