In this episode, Mako and I discuss the various choices of adulthood that we're faced with. The reality of transitioning from students to fully fledged adults that hold down a 9 to 5 (gulp!) is heavy on our minds and we share some of our thoughts, dilemmas and coping methods. We are also at a different location, which means some interesting featured sounds! Let us know what you think of the episode and share your own adulting realities on Instagram with us @yatpodcast!
