10 Times TV Lied About Adulthood
Travelers Today

Now that we have made it to college, we are starting realize that the TV shows of our youth that caused us to lay on the couch and binge-watch ABC Family( Netflix wasn't a thing, children), sadly lied to us about being an adult.

1. You're not a Waldorf; you WILL be poor after graduation.

Yes, after the cast of Gossip Girl graduated they were still rich. I'm sure some of us lived in that fantasy for part of high school at least.

2. You won't be famous by singing about a cat.

K, thanks for false hopes Phoebe.

3. Moms don't get to be porn stars

In case anyone had some weird dreams of achieving this, only Farrah Abraham can pull that off. She needs a parenting book.

4. Hooking up with your best friend doesn't result in a relationship that everyone roots for...

Thank you, "Friends", for making me think this would work.

5. You won't marry Chuck Bass...

Goddamn, Chuck Bass. Why do you do this to us?

6. College will never be as great at Blue Mountain State...

Nothing will beat the goat house.

7. The Real World is not, in fact, the real world...

Nate, I know. No one's life is filmed 24/7...We also have to pay bills...I know, shocking...

8. Bippity Boppity Boo won't solve your problems...

Cinderella, you have a fairy godmother. You think she can fix my college debt? No? Stop crying.

9. You cannot eat copious amounts of spicy foods and then be okay....

You know this guy was running to the toilet between scenes. Did anyone else see him eat a pound of ice cream?

10. Climbing through the window of your crushes room isn't legal...it can be considered an actual crime.

Okay, so Matty McKibben goes through the back door...same thing.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
