18 Signs You're Terrible At Adulting

"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.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
