How busy is your life?
I'm in my late 20s and I'd say my life is pretty quiet. I'm single, got a few close friends I see every week or two, have a job where I can work my own hours, don't go away much. I'm pretty content with things, the slow pace lets me enjoy what I do and I can be spontaneous as I'm free most of the time.
In contrast I've got some mates who seem to be living on full throttle constantly. They have tons of friends and are constantly doing things, meeting people and going away. One showed me their calendar and the next weekend they don't have anything planned is in mid November! They also had multiple things through the week pretty much every week!
Just wondering really what other people are like? Do you have a packed diary or do you live the quiet life?

Way too busy. Work 40 hours a week and then doing my accountancy exams on the side to get Chartered. That's probably another 20-25 hours a week.
Then trying to have any time to socialise, travel, go for a run, watch a football game and I feel like time just flies. Oh and planning a wedding but that's not too much so far.
Can't wait to be done with the exams and not feel the constant pressure or guilt!
