18 Signs You're Terrible At Adulting
Odyssey Online

"Adulting" as defined by Urban Dictionary is taking on important grown up responsibilities such as a job or any other tasks that a normal adult would have to take on. As college students, we don't have a lot of experience when it come to this because it's this kind of stuff they don't teach you in school. In fact, some of us find this very difficult. I am here to tell you that you are not alone and many people are in the same boat as you. So here is a list of signs that you are not very good at adulting.

1. Most of what you eat is either microwaveable or has the beautiful image of golden arches on the box.


2. You still try to persuade your mom into making your appointments for you.


3. You imagine what your future pets will be like rather than what your future family will be like.


4.Your "That's what she said" jokes are on point.


5. You avoid making small talk with strangers.


6. Waking up before 11:00am is unheard of.


7.Checking you bank account gets the same reaction as checking your grades.


8. When that noise your car has been making is getting worse and you don't know what to do about it.


9. When you've mastered the game of "Garbage Jenga" (also works with dishes)


10. You realize "adulting' is not as fun as you thought it was when you were 5.


11. You buy new clothes to avoid doing laundry.


12. You die a little inside every time you gas up your car.


13.Your mind is always in the gutter.


14. You find the fun in literally everything.


15. When this is your response to just about anything.


16. You don't take care of your health as well as you should be.


17. "Free" is probably one of your absolute favorite words no matter what it's applied to.


18. No matter how bad you are at "adulting", you always feel like this after you do something right.

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.

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.
