Adulting (v): to do grown up things and hold responsibilities such as, a 9-5 job, a mortgage/rent, a car payment, or anything else that makes one think of grown ups.

Once you've hit you're 20s, you reach the point where you're torn between trying to maintain a sense of childlike enthusiasm while also trying to figure out adult life. This is why we coined the term adulting. Adulting allows us to slowly ease ourselves into adult life because if we just jumped right in we'd have a mental breakdown, not because we're incapable of handling it, but because it's new. The simple truth is we don't really know what we're doing and we're just trying to figure it all out. So here's a basic guide for everyone trying to adult this week.

Step 1: Eat a good meal.

Know that you're never to old for chicken nuggets. They're cheap and easy to cook. Also they don't take too long to cook or clean up because when you're feeling hangry. After working your 9-5 job the last thing you want to do is come home to cook a gourmet meal that takes an hr to cook and clean.

Step 2: Remember to pay your bills.

While you're curled up with your T-Rex shaped nuggets, you remember that you have a bill due by the end of the day. Don't panic too much, at least you remembered. What you forgot to do was leave yourself a sticky note reminder or put a notification on your calendar. Don't worry, you'll learn

Step 3: Learn to budget.

Once you've paid all of your bills and bought all of the necessities you need to make it through the week, you're left with a little extra cash. What do you do with this? Well you could take the adult road and put it in the bank to prepare for the future (or save up for a concert ticket).

Step 4: Treat yourself

We all need a little motivation to get through the week, and sometimes you just have to reward yourself with a new toy, dessert, or wine. But you still have to remember Step 3 so the "Treat Yo Self" fund is only like $10.

Step 5: Wing it

When an appliance breaks, your car won't start, you're lost or you have an important document to read through and fill out, you look around for an adult to help you. Then you realize that you are actually an adult and muster up the confidence to figure it out yourself even though you have no idea what you're doing.

Step 6: Avoid becoming a real adult

It will probably only get worse from here. So hold on to your youth as long as you can. Be a healthy combination of responsible and irresponsible because being an adult is boring, and you're not really living unless you're having fun.
