Steff Gelson, journalist for business magazine, CIO, has summed up the generational stereotypes thus: “Gen Y thinks Gen X is a bunch of whiners. Gen X sees Gen Y as arrogant and entitled. And everyone thinks the Baby Boomers are self-absorbed workaholics.” The Melbourne Cup

The term ‘emotional poverty’ has gained currency in recent times and has been linked to suicide and other self-destructive behaviours. Thriving Youth Australia is one organisation building the emotional capacities of young people. 
Held on the first Tuesday in November, the Melbourne Cup is not just the biggest day in Australia’s racing calendar. Victorians get a public holiday while, around the rest of the country, in workplaces and even schools, life stops while people watch the race, sip some champagne and join in a sweepstake. It’s part of Australian culture. 
The clothes we wear speak volumes about us. Our sense of style is part of our self expression, conveying critical information about our lifestyle, economic status, and sensibility. But what we wear also conveys information about our morality. 
Given a bad rap by diets, the potato is often unduly scorned. Here at The Transit Lounge we laugh in the face of calorie counters and gladly take up the spud. 
Being a young adult can be very fun. It can also be tough. There are so many opportunities and choices available. There are so many things to try and enjoy. But stepping out of the comfortable world of the local church Youth Group can be eye opening, challenging and rewarding.
