Let’s not beat around the bush: “adulting” is hard.
Some of us are better prepared for the challenges of adulthood than others, but at times it’s tiring, maddening, and exhausting.
Maybe we should have learned these skills before we entered adulthood…
1. The progression
Me at 5: I want to be an astronaut
Me at 15: I want to be a pro athlete
Me at 25: fuck me how expensive is cheese— David Hughes (@david8hughes) January 31, 2019
2. Not much fun

3. LOL
peak adulting is when you start using the phrase “they done lost their damn mind” regarding prices at the grocery store

4. Now what?
I remember the way I used to get excited whenever I received a letter addressed to me when I was younger but every time I receive one now I think “fucking what now”

6. That’s life
You're not an adult until you have a cabinet full of Tupperware and every time you open it they all spill out and you can never find a matching lid for the one you want to use.

7. Let’s go over this one more time
Adult email culture is ending every sentence with an exclamation point, then proofreading to see how many is socially acceptable to keep.

BEING AN ADULT
PRO: Nobody can stop you from eating cheese and Oreos for dinner
CON: Nobody can stop you from eating cheese and Oreos for dinner

I just cannot believe I have to be an adult for the rest of my life

14. Nowhere to run
Me: I want to travel
Bank account: Where? To work?

Ok, that’s enough laughing: back to work!
