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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
