Have a laugh with Lewis McKenzie: 10 confessions of a 21-year-old

All I know is, it's brown and it's a sauce. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure, other than what little knowledge I've ascertained through various, sketchy descriptions from other sources over the years. I don't fully trust it. Ketchup remains the safe option.

2. The stock market

I was entertained by The Wolf of Wall Street. But when the financial news comes on television, I'm lost. Up, down, sideways, I don't know what any of these numbers mean and I'm scared.

3.  If switching it off and on doesn't fix it, then I'll assume that's it's broken

Because that's the only solution I can possibly think of in the situation of any electrical equipment malfunctioning. Be it a computer, a printer, a phone; off and on is the only fix and if that doesn't work then it's game over.

4. Yeah, that's a great show...

Okay, let's get real here. There are a lot of television shows these days. With the ability to stream hundreds of options all online at the touch of a button, it's hard to keep a track of it all. So yeah, I may pretend that I understand the reference you're making when I really don't, but hey, who hasn't?...anyone?...just me?

5. It's not all partying

There's often a perception that people this age are always on the go, out drinking or clubbing it up. Not so. Some nights all we want to do is lie in bed, eat food with a cup of tea and stick on a good film. And honestly, it can be the best thing ever. Not even ashamed.

6. Although when we are out, we can make some very questionable food decisions

It's the end of a night out and the hunger kicks in. You're too sleepy and not particularly picky to take your time over your options though. Time is of the essence. Pakora, battered burgers, boxes of chicken, it's a mixed bag and it always tastes worse the next day.

7. I'm not very cool

Even though I may be standing at the bar wearing a smart new shirt and trying to look casual, I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. And I can assure you, this facade of collected suaveness will be gone as soon as Star Wars is released and so is my inner nerd.

8. Times change

As much as I may have scoffed at now "boring" politics was when I was younger, don't touch the remote because I'm watching the debate on Sky News. Interests change and now what once may have seemed mundane such as having in depth discussions about the problems in Europe or purchasing new furniture at discount prices, are now some of the highlights of the week. Trust me freshers, it'll happen.

9. The super bowl seems fun, but...

Super bowl events are everywhere now. There's no escaping it. It's the one day of the year where it seems that everyone is a closet American football fan and avid, lifelong supporters of the two teams playing, (Insert name here) and (Insert name here). Yeah, go then!! Here's the truth of it. I know none of the rules and let's be honest, neither do most of us. How about we stop pretending it's for anything other than just another excuse for drinking? Okay, let's move on.

10.  We sometimes have a tendency not to finish things

Whether it's a pizza, an essay, a film, young people can be fairly easily distracted. They can commit to starting things and not finishing them. For example, how many have signed up to the gym and never completed their membership? Or how about this blog post for example, I bet even this might not get...
