Adulting is Hard, Don’t Make it Harder, Twin.

Photo from “Take This L, Fam” Game Night with Traveling Chess Club

“No man is an Island”

Everyone's version of “locking in” seems to be synonymous with self-isolation, but doing hard things alone makes them feel even harder. So why treat adulting like a solo project? You don’t get any extra credit points!

Being digitally over-connected and “catch-up culture friendships,” have become commonplace for many of us. With ease, we relegate friends to being witnesses to our lives, leaving ourselves to figure things out alone and discuss with friends after the fact. What if we intentionally built lives that intersected with each other and supported each other in real time? If we chose it, adulting could look like sharing the weight of responsibilities, goals, obstacles, highs and lows.

Below is a list of things you probably already do that you can start doing with others to help adulting feel a lot less lonely. 

*We included links to local resources to help you get started! ;)

So, the next Sunday evening you’re faced with 7 days worth of to-do lists, unanswered texts, uncooked groceries, commitments, deadlines, and events you may or may not go to. Instead of trying to figure out how to do it all alone…

Hit someone up to help make the load lighter!

Coworking (Here are some of our favorite spaces to be productive)

Meal Prepping

  • Option 1: Cook a meal with a friend to cut down the time and make it more enjoyable.

  • Option 2: 4-7 friends each cook a different meal then pack a meal to share with each person to last all of you throughout the week.

  • *Check out Black-owned Grocery Stores

Staying Active

  • Get Outside

  • River Place Nature Trail (North)

  • Violet Crown, Zilker Park Trail Head (Central)

  • Mckinney Falls State Park (South)

  • Barton Creek 290 Trail head (South Central)

Taking Care of your Mind

For Parents

Hobbies

Remember, this is JUST a starting point. So start here and see where it takes you. If you’re ready to dive deeper into finding your people, Check out our full ATX Starter Kit.

Our Guide to the Moontower Comedy Festival ‘26

Because laughter hits different when you’re with your people.

Austin, we know y’all tapped into the music and the food, but let’s not sleep on comedy. The Moontower Comedy Festival is back taking over the city, and if you’ve never experienced it before, just know: this is one of the largest comedy festivals in North America.

As an official media partner, we wanted to do this the WYAT?! way: curated, intentional, and rooted in community. So instead of overwhelming you with everything happening, we’re bringing you some of our top picks.

Whether you’re outside for the full two weeks or just popping out for a night or two, here’s how to do Moontower right.

🎤 The Gist (First-Timer Friendly)

Moontower runs April 7–19 and is split into two vibes:

  • Headliner Shows (April 7–19) 👉🏾 Big names, iconic venues, individual tickets

  • Club Series (April 15–19) 👉🏾 The real playground

The Club Series is where things get interesting with 80+ shows across multiple walkable venues downtown. Think rapid-fire sets, podcasts, crowd work, and discovering your new favorite comedian all in one night.

If you’re trying to do this properly, get the badge. Trust.

grab your badge.

🔥 WYAT?! Top Picks: Headliners

These are the ones you don’t want to miss:

  • Leslie Jones – Pure energy. A whole experience. You’re not just watching—you’re in it.

  • Roy Wood Jr. – Smart, sharp, and one of the best storytellers doing it right now.

  • Brad Williams – Fan favorite energy every time.

  • Cristela Alonzo – Demand was so real they added a third show. Enough said.

🎭 WYAT?! Top Picks: Club Series (Don’t Sleep Here)

This is where the culture lives. The underground. The “I saw them before they blew up” moments.

🌙 Night Moves

Don’t leave after the shows, that’s rookie behavior.

Every night ends with afterparties featuring light bites and featured drinks, and the Closing Night Party at Antone’s on April 18th is the one. DJ, vibes, and complimentary bites to close it out right.

🍿 WYAT?! Tips to Do It Right

  • Pick 1–2 anchor shows, then freestyle the rest

  • Stay in the downtown loop (everything’s walkable)

  • Hit the Club Series, that’s where you’ll discover your new favorites

  • Don’t overplan. Comedy is better when you wander

  • And most importantly…laugh with your people

Tap In

Whether you’re pulling up solo, on a date, or with the group chat, this is your sign to add comedy to your Austin experience.

👉🏾 Check out the full Moontower schedule + grab your tickets/badge

Our SXSW Cultural Guide: Find Your People in Austin

SXSW is one of the biggest festivals in the world. For a week every year, Austin becomes a global stage filled with music, film, tech, comedy, and hundreds of events happening all at once. But if you’ve ever experienced SXSW before, you know one thing is true: it can be a lot.

That’s exactly why we created the Where Y’all At Though?! SXSW Cultural Guide.

As Austin’s cultural tour guide, our goal is simple…help you find your people. Instead of trying to cover everything happening across the festival, our guide focuses on hyperlocal experiences: the spaces, events, and communities that give Austin its real energy.

Whether you’re visiting the city for the first time or you live here and want to navigate SXSW like a pro, this guide is built to help you move through the chaos with intention.
