To be honest, when we were conceived of this article, we felt quite distressed because there were not many lifestyle options, and there were very few places suitable for single consumption and dining in the city.
Unlike Japan, according to Japanese statistics in 2015, about 23% of men and 14% of women in Japan have never married. By 2035, half of Japan's population will be single, and the number of singles will reach 48 million. It is expected that one in three men will never marry, and one in five women will never marry. Because there are many single young people, many industries in Japan have launched services only for single young people, such as single-person restaurants, single-person cinemas, etc.
In my country’s second- and third-tier cities, especially in local cities, young people still get married very early. Single young people in our country are mainly concentrated in first-tier cities, and their number is not large. Therefore, it is difficult to form an industry for this group.
Based on the observations of friends around us and some research, we have collected 5 lifestyles suitable for single young people. There is nothing new about these 6 methods. Maybe you already know them and are even doing them. It’s definitely best if you are doing it now. If you have done it before but have given up now, I hope our article can give you some motivation.
1) Study
PS: I recommend this if you will be beaten to death.
The learning I want to talk about is not just learning at work, because the more things you are responsible for in a company, the more skills you need to master. Learning at work is a must for everyone. of.
In addition to work, people study for two main purposes: one is interest, and there are many, such as piano, guitar, etc. Some people may have been interested in a certain aspect since they were young. Hobby, but I missed it due to lack of material conditions in the past. I have to make up for the regret when I make money; the other is that I want to improve myself after working. The most typical one is to learn English. Some people learn English with the thought of going abroad in the future. It is convenient when you are abroad, and you can communicate with foreign friends on a daily basis. Some people want to change careers, and certain professional English is a must-have. Prepare for a rainy day, even if you don’t need it now, but you can prepare for the future.
Both types of learning only use spare time, and arranging fixed class times every weekend is a good way to avoid wasting time.
2) Cooking delicious food
I am a foodie, so I am particularly interested in delicious food. When I was drifting to Beijing alone, I always ate out at first, but later when I got tired of eating, I started cooking at home. I recommend two very useful recipe apps, Xiachian and Douguo Cuisine. For empty-nest youths, none of us know how to cook at the beginning. Although we may not be able to cook something very delicious if we follow the recipe, it will definitely not be too bad. There is a standard for "edible" food. Because the recipes are often taught in a relatively standardized way, although the raw materials are the same, the taste of a dish is related to the heat and the process of adding ingredients. This needs to be understood through your own practice.
However, foodies may be more motivated to make delicious food. When you cook delicious food, you not only enjoy your taste buds, but you can also please your partner. If a certain dish is particularly good, it is not impossible to make a living from it in the future.
Come and shout with me, "My future is not a dream."
3) Sports and fitness
In fact, fitness also belongs to sports. The reason why we need to separate the two is because in the eyes of many people, there is still a difference between the two.
Some companies also often organize sports competitions, such as football, badminton, etc. Compared with cooking, most sports activities are group-based, so they are helpful to expand our social scope and make some friends because we like different sports. People generally have a strong purpose for fitness. In addition to health, many people also want to build a good figure. Exercise and fitness are a lifestyle that I highly recommend.
If you have a lot of time to feel bored, then I have to tell you in a vulgar way, exercise and fitness take more time.
4) Watching exhibitions
It is an advantage if you watch exhibitions and performances in first-tier cities, as the frequency of events will be very high.
When I was single, I would often check online in advance where there were exhibitions, and then ask a group of friends if it would be better for you to go together, or if you didn’t go together, it would be okay. Of course, some exhibitions require payment. Most of the exhibitions are very artistic and are usually located in art districts, such as 798 in Beijing. Don't worry about not understanding it. The more you read it, the more you'll understand what it means to cultivate sentiment.
In addition to exhibitions, there are also music performances. This refers not only to celebrity concerts, because the cost of concerts is relatively high. It would be a bit unfair if everyone uses concerts as daily entertainment. Too realistic. In addition to concerts, there will also be some small performances in the city. Although these singers are not very well-known, they are often well-known in a small circle, and some of their works are still very good.
5) Surrounding tours
There are two main directions when it comes to surrounding tour locations: one is the countryside around the city, which is what everyone often calls farmhouses; the other is the surrounding areas other cities. Shanghai has an advantage over Beijing in this regard. Shanghai is surrounded by Hangzhou, Suzhou, Ningbo, Wuzhen and other places, while Beijing seems to be surrounded only by Tianjin and Qinhuangdao.
If you are used to living in the city, although the high-rise buildings are prosperous, you will feel boring if you see them too much. Going to another place, in addition to experiencing some entertainment facilities and delicious food, is more importantly a change of environment. Especially when you have been under too much work pressure for a period of time and are in a bad mood, occasionally going to the city for a few days can be a good way to adjust your mood.
6) Playing games
The last thing I want to talk about is games. It is estimated that this is what most empty-nest youths do most often in their free time. When front-end games were popular, it was probably mostly boys who played games, but with the popularity of mobile games, many girls have become heavy users of games.
If you are naturally fond of games and have played them since you were a child, there may be a game that has stayed with you for many years, such as Warcraft for many people. But if you are bored, consider games as a way to pass the time. Then I suggest you play a few simple games, or follow your friends to play more popular games, so that you can talk about games together.
Conclusion
Some of you may have discovered that I like to eat as well as play. Yes, that’s right, I’m the kind of person who really doesn’t like being a homebody. If I stay at home for two days on the weekend, I will feel particularly bored and can’t resist the urge to go out.
When I first came to Beijing, I wanted to visit all the attractions and famous landmarks in the capital, so that I would have no regrets if I left one day. For a while, I also used holidays to look for small food shops in the city with my friends, and set a goal for myself to eat all the food in the city. You have a lot of time to work in a city, but if you suddenly change cities due to work one day, you will not have many opportunities to come back to Beijing in the future.
