8 Reasons Why Adulting Is The Absolute Worst

Richard Heeks

Welcome to the real world, folks.

Where reality slaps you in the face on the daily. Your college days are over and there's nothing fun about being an adult. Being a contributing member of society isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Don't grow up, it's a trap.

Here are eight things that are the absolute worst about adulting:

1. Work

Your life now consists of working non-stop at the bottom of the totem pole

2. Bills

And you work countless hours all so you can stare at your empty wallet and drained bank account

3. Naps

The freedom to nap whenever you please is no longer a privilege you enjoy

4. Food

What you want vs what you can afford are two very different things

5. Loans

Trying to pay off your student loans be like

6. Looking presentable

Showering daily is now required, which means less sleep, more effort and still looking this

7. Laundry

Doing laundry on the reg because you only have so many presentable outfits

8. Vacation

Holiday vacations are now maybe three days instead of two months

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.
