This one is dedicated to all of my fellow new graduates out there who have started their new jobs and understand why everyone told you that you'll miss college. Bed times are in place, you make your lunch as healthy as possible and you find yourself actually attending happy hour at 5 o'clock. You have a new appreciation for a glass of wine after a long day and you also understand why your dad falls asleep on the couch every night at 6:30. However, here are 12 of the biggest adult-ing things I've engaged in-- and if you feel it too, then we're all doing something right!

Here's to officially adult-ing.

1. Beer isn't the only thing you plan spending your money on anymore.

Bills. Bills. Bills.

2. You go back to packing elementary school style lunches.

Because you're poor and can't buy food every day.

3. Your lunches are normally now a salad that you gnaw on, hoping that it turns into a cheeseburger.

Oh where oh where did my junk food go?

4. You see what college actually cost you.

You can move far and wide... but Sallie Mae will find you.

5. You trade in your "bar" attire for some work pants.

But who am I kidding? I'll never trade in my leather pants.

6. Your bedtime is in the single digits. i.e. 7, 8, or 9.

I may look 23, but underneath the surface I'm more like 74.

7. You get home from the bar at the time that you used to leave for the bar.

12 AM? Time to shut it down!

8. You discuss things like gardens or colors of your hallway trim with your friends.

Drinking games turn into "adult" conversations about candles and yard work.

9. Keystone makes you gag.

Remember your college beer of choice? Yeah... no.

10. Dating becomes harder.

It's no longer a story of "I saw him from across the room and - now we're dating!"

11. You start doing things that your parents do.

Remember that time you said "I'll never be like my mother"? You were wrong.

12. You refer to high school and college as the "good ole days."

Remember that time with that person and the thing? Yeah, that was the best.
