Student on four-month-long uni break who has done nothing this week but work five hours and get a haircut, feels a bit lazy when compared to someone who has toured the world, topped the charts, won a grammy, and announced an album all in seven days.

It’s a cruel summer realisation for the 20 -year- old casually employed student, who has been flung into a quarter-life crisis while starting to doubt the use of his time in the overly generous summer break.

“I mean in the period of time it took me to make a spotify playlist for chill summer vibes, Tay Tay has probably recorded an entire album while touring the world,” said the Economics student whose new haircut does arguably look pretty good.

Derrick, who is still freeloading at home, has told The Obiter this summer hasn’t been a complete waste of time, since he’s taught himself to play ‘Smoke on the Water’ and ‘Smoke on the Water acoustic intro version’ from EasyGuitarVids.com.

“It was pretty easy to be honest, I guess only the lucky ones get to have it easy and live as a rock star while the rest of us have to get proper jobs and work hard,” said the student on his couch at home.

As the weeks wind down, Derrick has resolved to making some drastic changes in his life, including setting an alarm before noon and is now considering learning ‘Love Story’ on acoustic guitar.

No more to come on Derrick’s music career.
