Local uni student Sarah Paulson (20) is stumbling drunkenly into adulthood this week after entering the stage in her tertiary education where she thinks it’s time for her to host a dinner party.
Despite all evidence pointing to the contrary, university is often viewed as a time for young people to learn and grow up, developing important skills they will need for life.
As an arts student, this statement is at least 50 percent true for Paulson who is also doing her study while living independently thanks to a great cash injection from the Bank of Mum & Dad.
Now set up for life with the ability to appreciate poetry and understand semiotics, Paulson believes it’s time to put her big girl pants on and hone her skills at the most adult activity of all; hosting a dinner party.
Despite the fact that the uni student diet is seldom considered fine cuisine, Paulson believes she is well equipped to whip up a three course feast which will at no point feature Mi Goreng, fish fingers or eggs cooked in a microwave.
“I’ve been watching so much Come Dine With Me,” stated Paulson, who will be the proud owner of a degree in about four or five months.
“We’re going for a bit of a round the world theme, kicking off in the Mexican town of Old El Paso, a fiery curry from the Pataks region and finishing with an apple pie by my aunt Sara (Lee).”
“Haha only joking. Someone is bringing dessert. And wine. And a joint.”
“And chairs, I don’t have enough chairs.”
More to come.
