For Gen Xers and Boomers, the thrill of startup life was tied to the risk of going it alone. Co-working startups are responsible for making sure the printer works and the office stays tidy while workers concentrate on the task at hand. In many ways, co-living and co-working environments operate in loco parentis. Millennials like the structure and safety these offerings provide. (This tension explains the expansive online literature on lonely young people-as well as the proliferation of apps like MeetUp and Ameego designed to stave off loneliness.)
Ajay Yadav, founder and CEO of Roomi, says that “more residents are opting to co-live to not only save money but to have a shared city living experience with a roommate.” And loneliness is a huge problem for Millennials, many of whom are putting off the relationships that would normally fill their need for companionship. These arrangements are crafted to cure the isolation often felt in big cities. Today’s co-working spaces give everyone the daily opportunity to socialize and collaborate.Ĭo-living spaces have a similar mission. Before co-working spaces, work-at-home contractors would have to formally meet in order to collaborate and start-up employees would only have each other to talk to.
So happy together professional#
Unlike young Boomers, whose life goal was to be master of one’s own home and solo alpha professional in the corner office, Millennials would rather do most of their living and working with others. Most importantly, the co-working/co-living movement reflects Millennials’ desire for community. What is fueling the rise of these arrangements? The answer is simple: These spaces tap into the Millennial mindset.
(Think “dorms for adults.”) Like their co-working counterparts, co-living companies offer a wide range of conveniences, including laundry services, housecleaning, and scheduled events. What’s the catch? Residents must share bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas. Co-living startups lease apartment buildings and rent out bedrooms to individuals-often at a much lower cost than a one-bedroom apartment. Last year, WeWork even launched its own dedicated co-living arm, WeLive.Ĭo-living is an extension of this trend. Co-living has also surged: Companies like Common, Ollie, and Outsite explicitly organize housing options around the idea of group living. WeWork itself opened nearly 10,000 desks across eight countries in December 2016 alone. There were more than 11,000 co-working spaces worldwide in 2016-up from just 14 in 2007. Over the past decade, co-working spaces have gone from Silicon Valley “hacker mansions” to full-fledged business enterprises. These community-oriented, structured, and shared concepts appeal Millennials-and will likely be around for the long haul. What’s behind this trend? Generational change is the primary driver. In recent years, the co-working movement-along with its newer cousin, co-living-has turned into a frenzy. This recording is the key of A flat minor but we perform it in A.WeWork, an upstart that leases shared workspaces, is now worth more than $20 billion after a multibillion-dollar investment from SoftBank. The vocal ranges are less extensive than a typical classical choir to remain accessible to beginning singers. In this arrangement, Middle’s have the melody. In this song there’s also a High 1 and High 2 part, however they are nearly identical except for a few special high notes in the chorus for High 1’s. In our choir, High is equivalent to soprano, Middle is Alto/ Tenor and Low is Tenor/Bass. In Wholehearted we learn everything without sheet music so it can be done! It just takes a little time. This is definitely a chorus arrangement, not one for instant teaching. So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)……. The only one for me is you, and you for meīa-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue, for all my life I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you, for all my life Oooh – Imagine how the world could be, so very fine Oooh – And you say you belong to me & ease my mind

Original song by Alan Gordon & Garry Bonner. I’ve always heard the potential for some great funky, jazzy harmonies in this classic hit from The Turtle’s, and finally re-mixed it for Wholehearted Chorus.
