College has made me think critically about my major, my life and all things difficult. More importantly, college has made me think critically about why I shouldn’t be considered an adult. I text my mom on a weekly basis telling her all the reasons I shouldn't be allowed to be an adult. Here’s why:

1. I still tie my shoes with bunny ears.

If there's any other way, I don't plan on learning it any time soon.

2. I don’t have a job and I really just don’t want one.

3. I like dogs more than real people.

4. I don’t know how to file my own taxes.

My mom still does it for me and hopefully will do it until I'm married.

5. I forget to write my name on tests still.

6. I don’t really know how to cook anything other than chicken enchiladas.

I don't even cook the chicken either, I buy it from the store.

7. I really hate grocery shopping.

8. I don’t pay my own cell phone bill.

9. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.

I'm starting to worry I'll never figure it out either.

10. I watch too much TV.

11. I can’t even paint my nails by myself.

12. I can’t get my oil changed by myself.

I am terrified to go to the car place and get overcharged or have them dismantle my car because I said the wrong thing.

13. I’m not allowed to go to doctor appointments alone.

14. I still burn my tongue on coffee.

We all do it.

15. I buy fabric softener instead of laundry detergent.

Currently my clothes are being washed with lavender scented fabric softener, at least it smells good!

16. I sometimes still forget what side of my car my gas cap is on.

17. I don't separate my laundry and get stains on my clothes often.

18. I still sleep with stuffed animals.

19. I wouldn’t wear sunscreen unless someone told me to.

20. I still live at home.

I have been on this planet for two decades and I’m still afraid to grocery shop alone, but I have hope that when I graduate college I will have learned how to do a few of these things. Life is hard and I was under the impression college would make me instantly find out how the world works. Hopefully I will soon know enough to not flounder when I'm thrown out into the real world.
