We all wanted to be an adult at some point in time, except for when that time is being an adult. Here are a few things that led you to expressing your true feelings for being an adult.

5. Laundry.


Doing your own laundry, let alone having to fold it gives you every reason to regret hitting that golden age of 18. You let the clothes build up in piles before actually getting to it, waiting for someone to walk in to your room and just do it for you. But you remember you're an adult now and it's no longer mom and dad's responsibility.

4. Having a job.

Getting a job, but still you're always broke. Yeah, a job sounded good at first, but they never told you that you'd be working for free. Am I right?

3. Eating.

Having to decide which meal is important and which one is OK to skip, because A.) not enough food in refrigerator or B.) not enough money or C.) both.


2. Paying for gas.

When you love to drive your and go to places far, far away, but have this animosity when you have to put gas in the car.

1. Bills.

This one I'm pretty sure every adult can agree on: bills. Every month they come and every time you hate it.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
