But you have GOT to hang on in there because it IS worth it. Would you be allowed to have a pet in your flat? It's just a suggestion. You will not end up as a couch potato because you are too bright for that. I can only tell you that there is life after 30 and in many ways it is better because you start to prioritise more.
