Have you seen that Progressive commercial where that guy starts turning into his mom? Well, that's kind of like what being in college is like: it's the time of life where you turn into a real adult.
Except that adult you're turning into is a combination of your own life experiences, as well as how your parents influenced you growing up. Here are 11 ways you can tell that you're turning into your parents:
1. When you go out, you're the "mom" friend
2. You try to make their food
Emphasis on try, and you eventually call them to ask how to heat the oven because it's not the same kind that you had at home.
3. You use their phrases
You start saying things like "shoulda left yesterday!" to people who speed by you on the highway.
4. You dress like them 
When you aren't wearing mom jeans or a flannel that used to be your dad's, you're dressed like Ellen DeGeneres.
5. Your taste in significant others changes
There's a saying that daughters date people who remind them of their dad. As gross as that sounds, it makes sense to prefer someone who reminds you of what you saw growing up.
6. Your hobbies are similar to theirs
7. You watch the same shows as them
Whether it's a show you've seen every episode of, like Cops, or a show on Netflix like Downton Abbey, your parents' taste in television shows influenced your taste in shows as well.
8. Your taste in music
There are some songs you like that came out before you were even born. Let's face it, classics are awesome and music from the 80's is the best.
9. You appreciate your family members more
Sure, you and your siblings used to fight, but that's water under the bridge. Ever since you started maturing, it's easier to get along with them. You also love hanging out with the little kids in your family, because it's pretending to be a parent without the responsibility of actually being one.
10. You try to keep your room clean 
You may not have always kept your room up to their standards of cleanliness, but now that you share a room or house with other people your age, suddenly you feel like you're the cleanest person alive. At least you wash your dishes unlike your roommate, Janice. Didn't Janice's parents ever tell her not to leave dirty dishes out?
11. You actually say "I'm turning into my parents"
As we mature, we turn into respectable adults and notice similarities between ourselves and those around us. Our parents spent the most time around us during childhood, and that influenced how we think, act, and feel now. Even though there are times when you think you'll never be like your parent's, it's okay to be like them in some aspects.
