5 Signs You’re #Adulting

In This Article:

You used to consider yourself a teen, maybe even a young adult. Then a couple of years went by, and even though you still feel young, you can sense the adulting happening.

Those sweet, happy days when you didn't have a worry in the world other than not missing the last episode of The Sweet Life Of Zack And Cody are long gone.

Here are the signs of your teen years coming to an end.

Welcome to the real world!

1. You start talking about the beauty of vegetables

Giphy

Do you remember when you were younger and went grocery shopping with your mom?

How she said things like "Look how gorgeous this pepper is!" or "This tomato is just perfection!" and you would think "Wth, they are regular vegetables"

Well, I have news for you, you're your mom now.

2. You start hating free time

Giphy

Not ALL the time, but once you get more than a week of vacation you start getting bored.

The first couple of days are heaven. Then the second week starts and you feel like you have no real purpose in life.

Is life really this boring without a responsibilities?

One can only nap and watch Netflix for so long.

3. Gas prices shock you every day

Giphy

You hate going to the gas station. Did prices drop or increase? You never know!

"Why is gas at Shelf SO expensive?!"

"Really Exxon, really?! 2.23?"

4. You start hating the fact that you have to use makeup everyday

Giphy

Before you used to love doing your makeup.

Now, you've come to the realization that in a couple of years (maybe even months or weeks) you'll have to start doing it in the mornings — while you're half asleep — because you can't look like a zombie at your office.

​5. Your to-do lists get longer and more boring

Giphy

Pay car insurance

Call wifi company

Complain to the building manager about that loud neighbor.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
