10 ways To Know You’re A Child In An Adult’s Body

1. You sort of know how to do laundry but still have to ask your mom if a certain pattern can go with light colors

Maybe this is just me. Laundry all around is just a hassle that I put off as long as possible. If I have clean underwear, I can make an outfit work.

2. You can cook eggs but not much else

I might have one dinner recipe in my back pocket but not much else. Coming up with a great meal by creatively throwing together whatever is in the refrigerator: forget it, I'm ordering takeout.

3. You keep your key on a bracelet so you don’t lose it

Seriously, this is the best way to keep your s**t together. You literally don't ever have to take it off, therefore, you never lose it.

4. You hate calling to make your own appointments

Doctors, dentists, so many people to call and I don't want to speak to any of them.

5. Vegetables still gross you out at times

Green beans make me want to heave. No. No, thank you.

6. You can only have fake plants because you kill the real ones

Maybe a cactus is the only plant able to survive my forgetfulness. I can barely feed myself, what makes you think I can take care of another living thing?

7. Silent movies make you silently scream

I want an action packed, drama-filled, comedic genius of a movie, not one I can't even sneeze in without receiving dirty looks.

8. Your favorite movie is made for a ‘younger’ audience

Disney or Pixar have the classic movies. You can't seriously tell me you hate The Lion King, that's sacrilege.

9. Your sense of “on time” is different from other people’s

Fashionably late is sometimes appropriate. Although, if it's a serious job, on-time is a must. At least we know when we can and cannot be late.

10. You don’t pay all of your bills

Tuition, insurance, rent, utilities. There's a lot of things to consider once you become an adult and all of it costs a ton of money.

Being an adult is hard. I think I'd prefer my PJs, popcorn bowl, and "Ice Age" marathon any day.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
