A Commonly Unnoticed #millenialproblem

You know that you're growing older  if it takes longer to organize a night with all the gang. For once, ___________(insert your group's name here) will come reunited, but it won't come smoothly. Unlike before, you can't just set a hangout on a weekend night and expect that everyone would come over.

I know it sucks. Don't you think there should be an easier way to get the old fire burning? Do not worry, we know that there's always a way. 

The first thing to do is to ask whether they want to make it happen. It's hard to organize a get-together if the people just don't feel like it. Remember that each one of you has different things on your plates now. 

Next, have an agenda. It need not be too formal, Just tell them the plans. Are you going to open bottles of beer? Are you having a tea party? Knowing so would allow them to estimate the time you are needing and plan for other things to do.

Lastly, the heart of the scheduling is learning to compromise. Plans are subject to change. It is flexible. Maybe, some of you are leaving earlier than the others. Or maybe, they won't make it. The thing is you should meet halfway.

Some of you might be uncomfortable with the changes that are happening in your barkada. You don't need to. It's just a sign that most of you, if not all, are now pursuing the path of a more productive life. I go for that career life. Let's do this, millennials.
