18 Times You Realized You Were Not Ready To Adult

We're all growing up, and adulthood is too close for comfort. You feel the onset of paranoia as you begin to realize that your time as an adult is approaching all too quickly. You begin to pay attention to some things that seem necessary to survival as an adult, and realize that you are totally not ready to "Adult."

1. When you hear someone mention taxes


2. You think about scheduling appointments, and decide that you can probably go without seeing a doctor, forever.


3. You see a commercial for phone plans, and don't understand any of it, at all.


4. Literally anything about banking confuses you.










5.You hear adults talking about a party, and have to remind yourself that it was definitely not the kind of party you were thinking about.


6.You see someone near your age in the grocery store, shopping for themselves and feel a knot in your stomach.


7. You go on Facebook, see a high school classmate is either engaged/pregnant, and feel nauseous.


8. Someone asks you what you want to do after college, and you still don't have a great answer.

9. A button falls off your shirt onto the floor, and you just stare at it, not completely sure what to do.


10. Trying to understand car payments.


11. You hear your parents talking about house payments and bills, and have to run away.


12. Insurance??


13. Someone asks for your opinion on a serious topic, and you realize they expect a serious answer.


14. You realize you should really get a handle on your nervous laughter.


15. You begin to think that you should get some adult hobbies, like crochet or chess.


16. Your lunch conversations with friends focus more on politics and social issues


17. You have a miniature panic attack when you think of living on your own.


18. Adulting seems like a lot more work than it's worth, so you decide to ignore your impending doom.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

Rory Gilmore

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

eye roll

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
