1. Doing Laundry
Unsure why, but finishing laundry just makes us feel on top it. Also, washing bedsheets=double adulting points (again no clear idea why this makes sense, it just does).
2. Cleaning Up
Similar to laundry, a simple organization break gives us a false sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, we often clean up to avoid doing p-sets, essays, readings, essentially everything we should be doing.
3. Cashing A Check
WE MADE MONEY. Go us.
4. Waking Up Early
Whether to go to the gym or study for that midterm, an alarm before six just seems more real-word like.
5. Flying Alone
If you go to school far away, you get used to this one pretty quickly. But figuring out the airport, having all documents and such takes organization. And based on this list at least, organization=adulthood.
6. Drinking Black Coffee
We smile through the bitterness for the benefit of feeling old.
8. Applying/Getting/Going To A Job
WE ARE MAKING MONEY. Double go us.
7. Business Casual ![]()
Dressing up semi-nice makes us feel like we are professional, or at least, we look like we are.
For those who are not aware, there is a world outside of college where everyone pretends to have this adult thing figured out. They dress up with their black coffee and wake up at ungodly hours to make it to that job interview and act like they understand this "real world," but the thing is, no one really does.
