Every college student experiences the horrors of "adulting" during college. Being a college student has its wonders but no one really sits you down and tells you just how much being an adult and doing adult things are going to suck until you actually experience it for yourself. We all think we're totally prepared for anything life is going to throw at us until we go through the following:
1. Making your own appointments.
Anything that has to do with phone calls seems scary and just wrong. It doesn't feel right making your own appointments because you're so used to your mom making these phone calls. It's even more awkward when you're shy.
2. Taxes.
You know you're supposed to do them, but where do you even begin? Do you call someone? When are they due? Filing your taxes does nothing but confuse you.
3. Being a poor college student.
It sucks not having money when you really need it. You're so used to having an allowance in high school that it just makes you sad looking at your bank account and realizing that you have to find a job in order to have money now.
4. Finding a job/internship.
5. Learning how to budget your money.
If you have a job or you magically got money somehow, it is EXTREMELY hard to not spend it all at once. It saddens you that you have to spend your money on toilet paper and groceries instead of a makeup haul. This makes you reconsider just how important toilet paper and other essentials can truly be.
6. Making your own food.
If you can cook, this doesn't apply to you but if you can't cook, you should probably learn how to cook so you're not stuck eating 25 cent ramen all the time.
7. Doing your own chores.
The best part about being at home is that your mom can do your laundry for you but it genuinely sucks that you have to do your own chores.
