15 Signs You're Becoming An Adult

Becoming an adult is stressful, infuriating, and involves a lot of things we're frankly just not ready for... but it's also the start of a life on your own, making your own choices, and becoming the person who you want the world to see you as. Here are a few hints that you might be on your way towards adulthood.

1. You go places alone, and you're fine with it.


2. You pay for at least one, or all, of your bills on your own.


3. Sometimes you plan for a Saturday night spent at home.


4. You no longer buy the cheapest toilet paper or even the cheapest cooking tools.


5. You actually enjoy shopping for new kitchen appliances and have probably spent an entire day roaming in an IKEA.


6. You've filed your own taxes at least once, or you at least know how to file them.


7. Your desire to have a clean house is stronger than your desire to not clean.


8. You've been excited about a new candle, lamp, or otherwise normal household object.


9. If people don't like you, you accept it and even act rationally around them despite it.


10. You no longer buy the cheapest wine or alcohol available.


11. Dating is more than sharing a popcorn at the movie theater and making it home before curfew. You don't even feel obliged to text them right after, either.


12. You can be happy for your engaged and pregnant friends without wallowing in self-pity and wondering if they're somehow ashamed of their adultness.


13. You've thought about Sunday morning before making a fool out of yourself on Saturday evening.


14. You don't care what you look like when you have to run errands and have probably left the house in an outfit that didn't match whatsoever.


15. You've grown up a little bit, taken on some responsibility, and you're proud of how far you've come.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
