    17 Harsh Truths From Aussie Country Kids To Aussie City Kids

    You just need to toughen up a little.

    1. It's not that cold in April / May. Turn your heater off.

    2. Also when July comes around, it's OK, you will survive.

    3. And speaking of temperature, when it comes to summer, 33 degrees celcius isn't really that unbearably hot.

    4. It wouldn't hurt to apologise when you accidentally barge into someone on the street, at the station or in the supermarket.

    5. The price of renting in your city is abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous.

    6. And charging $4 for a regular coffee is actually ludicrous.

    7. If you think you feel healthier after indulging in some cold-pressed juices, I'm sorry, but you're too far gone to save.

    8. Congrats on having a tiny veggie patch on your balcony and all, but it doesn't mean you know how to actually grow produce.

    9. And do not kid yourselves, you're never breathing in fresh air anywhere in the city.

    10. Just because you went to Splendour in the Grass once, doesn't mean you like camping.

    11. Gumboots actually existed before you thought they were fashionable.

    12. When you complain about mosquitos or cockroaches it's kinda a little bit funny.

    13. And complaining about public transport? Remember, at least it's a viable option for you.

    14. Please don't expect us to feel sorry for you when you complain there's too much "travelling" time to get to the beach.

    15. Or when you say you're "so done" with your clothes shopping options.

    16. Just because your cafe uses teeny stools to sit on, doesn't make it the best, the most hipster, or the most organic.

    17. And anyone who pays over $20 for a cocktail just because it's served in a jar or some shit needs to get their priorities sorted out.
