We were all meant to do great things...

"Scary isn't it? We had huge dreams in university and reality sort of chews them up”
-Pam, Nov 2007


Exerpts from 'Frankie, Issue 20'
Article: Great Expectations

Be you at the tail end of generation X or the height of generation Y, you may feel like you were destined to do something bigger and better than you currently are. Our demographic doesn’t fear the future, we don’t worry about authority and we’ve never experienced economic recession, but we do seem to have one paralyzing fear- mediocrity.

Is this sense of unfulfilled self-worth really enough to drive someone crazy? Whether it’s Fight Club-style bombing sprees, visits to the shrink of just a pathetic addiction to self-help books, our expectations are driving us mad.
