What do you mean we are adults???
Early adulthood is scary. It seems like just yesterday you lived with your parents. They bought your clothes, and groceries, fed you dinner, and drove you anywhere you wanted to go. Now you look around at the life you are trying to build for yourself. A tiny apartment, dirty clothes strewn across the floor, dishes piling up in the sink, an unmade bed, an empty fridge, textbooks stacked beside you, and bills piling high. You have homework assignments due, your bathroom hasn't been cleaned in a week (or has it been two?), and you desperately need to run a vacuum. How do you clean an oven? Whats the best way to get this stain out of your shirt? Do people really eat things other than mac n' cheese? How do you create a budget? No one taught you how to do any of this!
How did we get here?
When did we grow up?
Sometimes it seems like life is spinning so fast you can't keep up. You're drowning in the ocean of adult life, begging someone to toss you a life preserver. Everyone else seems to have gotten the hang of this whole grown up thing. What is wrong with you?
Take a step back. You aren't alone!
I'm right with you.
One day not too long from now we will all look back and wonder where these years went. The long nights of staying up studying with friends, bad college cafeteria food, rolling out of bed and going to class in your pajamas, and laughing with your friends that live right down the hall will be gone.
Transitions are hard, but change is good.
Embrace the chaos. Eat up the late conversations with your roommate. Fight through the stress and the fear. Soak up every moment, every memory of this glorious experience we call life.
