11 Adult Struggles we have all gone through

For a person in their early 20's it's kind of hard for me to say that life is hard. Regardless let me say, life is freaking hard. I mean I never realized what crap my parents were going through when they were raising me. They had to constantly adult, where I can sometimes get away with having a small childish breakdown because no one is looking to me for answers. Adulthood can definitely get way too serious sometimes, so I have decided to lighten it up by letting Grey's walk us through the everyday struggles of Adulthood.


1. When you have to make your own Appointments


This is the moment when we realize there is no one there to hold our hands, and that when the doctors asks us what wrong we are gonna have to play real adult and tell them instead of having mom do it.

2. When you get your first real paycheck and feel like a boss


You have money, the world and all of it's cute shoes are in your hands!

3. Then you realize you spent all of it and you still have to make it through the week


You're broke, your stupid and you now have to live beside the local hobo.

4. Realizing that we can't always say the first thing that comes to mind


Being blunt with someone can often get you in trouble with the wrong people

5. Which brings us to remember the ease in talking behind someones back


When the person can't hear what your saying, it wont matter what comes out of your mouth.

6. When you hate your job but then you remember about rent


Resisting the urge to call in sick everyday you have to work is a very good step in the right direction to adulthood!

7. When you blame your parents for not being prepared for adulthood


"Maybe you shouldn't have cooked me dinner every day like a good mother! I am weak now because of you... Yes I'll have some cookies"

8. When you have to make your own food


"I think we've had Ramen everyday this week... Easy Mac then."

9. When you completely mess up, and the only person you can blame is yourself


You cannot predict the future. All you can do is say it wont happen again and then try to remember what you did to ensure that is the truth!

10. When life has overpowered you to the point where you are certifiably crazy


These are our frequent childish breakdowns that no one has to see

11. When it feel like you finally have it together, but have this feeling it's all going to end soon.




Whatever life throws at you, just remember that if you can make it through the die without dying, you've done your job.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
