I know, right? Today has been one hell of a struggle as the attempt to adjust back to reality seems impossible by one of the most challenging conditions that has ever faced mankind: The Post-Glastonbury Blues.
Scholars and scientists have struggled for decades to find a cure. Rumour has it that they've been performing sick tests on monkeys in underground labs by force-feeding them bags of wine while playing The Rolling Stones, whispering Daft Punk rumours and shouting 'Alan' for days on end before re-releasing them into the wild. A lot of good scientists died that day.

10. You've never experienced a freedom quite like the sensation of not needing to wear wellies today
11. You can't contemplate the idea of going to work. It feels like going to the moon
12. You may not realise it just yet, but all of your Facebook friends and Instagram followers despise you
13. You almost spoke to a total stranger on the train to work because they were also wearing a Glasto wristband
14. Meals seem surreal and alien if they are not eaten from a polystyrene box or bread wrapped in a napkin
15. You still hold your breath when going to the toilet (even though you don't need to)
16. You've been invited on a night out, but decline because it doesn't look like this:
17. You now consider this normal:
