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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
