Adulting is hard. Like, really hard. It's that awkward moment when you can’t find your mom in the mall and panic but realize you’re 22 and failing at adulting because you’re panicking because you can’t find mom. Below is a comprehensive list of the milestones one must reach in order to reach full-blown adulthood. Good luck navigating through the post-pubescent world, you.
Cooking
Something other than toast and mac 'n cheese. And having the fire alarm NOT go off.
Cleaning Your Apartment
Yes, this includes the bathroom.
Laundry
There is a difference between dish soap and dishwasher soap. Don't mix them up or you'll have an impromptu foam party in your apartment.
Going Out Isn't As Fun Anymore
Who are these people? What is this music? I didn't put pants on to go somewhere that doesn't serve food.
Making Your Own Appointments
It's not the act of making the appointments that's terrifying, it's having to talk on the phone. Which is always horrible.
Living On Your Own
This part is actually pretty great. Except for paying for rent. And utilities. And having to kill your own spider.
Living On Your Own And Hearing A Scary Noise
It's actually the worst thing ever.
Updating Your Resume To Find A Job
Maybe I can just fluff it up a little bit...Nobody is going to actually know that I lied about knowing Mandarin.
Setting An Alarm And Actually Having To Wake Up
Just, no.
Getting Rid Of Tinder
Because you know nothing good is going to come from it. Never.
Your Friends Start Getting Married
And you realize that the movie "Bridesmaids" is eerily realistic.
Your Friends Start Having Babies
Ick.
You Have To Hold Those Babies
Double Ick.
Having Your First Pet Instead of a Baby
This is the only reason adulting is worth all the trouble.
