When you’re an adult, you answer the tough questions
You take care of yourself
And make sophisticated decisions
Becoming an adult means finding your hobbies
It’s a time where you learn to offer your sincerest congratulations
It’s a time to figure out the rest of your life
A time to find your way
To get your life together
Being an adult is all about putting everything you learned in school to the test
It’s about putting that experience to work
Becoming an adult is all about learning from your elders
Or…a vending machine
It’s a lot like Mario Kart
Or, you know, crossing the street
Or, you know, deleting emails
Being an adult is all about creating the perfect schedule
It’s about budgeting
About watching what you eat
But mostly it’s about doing this every single night

Being an adult means "Socks and undies for Christmas! Aww Yisss!"

Saw this Buzzfeed post on Facebook a couple of days ago. Thanks for waiting before reposting.

An a adultier adult.

I go to the doctor AND hope I die. I think I'm pretty good at adulting. Like Level 93 adults.
joshyposhy83
I can't remember the last time I went. Normally it's just a urgent care when I don't feel well. But no doctor to run tests and shit. I'm 32
TheHaloFollower
Wait. HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND?
AdAstra16b
Adulting comes in stages. Like being a grub or pupa or chrysalis. I believe I will be molting next year sometime
WalnutWisdom
Oh little combusken, you will be a blaziken soon
ubiquitousmeow
Adulthood actually comes in one stage. SHIT!
saucefordipping29
The first one, my husband lost his job, his old high school moved back to town talking about buying a 300,000 home, brand new cars, his wife
saucefordipping29
Can pick out any car she wants....while my husband and i are trying to keep a roof over our heads, and food in our bellies.Adulthood is hard
Komah311
Thanks, Buzzfeed

Instead of going to a doctor, I just became a doctor. I can wait for myself now for hours, so I can tell myself what I already know.
theLastCenturion
I'm pretty sure this was a buzzfeed article...
mortyrickson
Bouncing round the supermarket filling up the trolley then realising when I get to the till its me who's paying for it all :(
joshyposhy83
I wish we called them trolleys. We say carts. Or buggys. My mother in law calls them carriages.
mortyrickson
Haha carriages. I like that

$1000 isn't a lot of money ultimately, but it's always so hard to have a spare $1000. :(
magisch
Once you're paying for everything yourself, you very quickly realize that money is not to be squandered easily.
joshyposhy83
It's not a lot of money to have but its a lot of money to owe
DrLivingstoneIpresume
At least we can drink
jameskucera
Reading this post eating zebra cakes at a rate of 1 cake per bite. Pretty sure I have this adult thing down.
NunnaYoDamnBusiness
I'll stick to being a kitty cat, thank you!
SarahW94
I work at a restaurant and when there's a problem, we frantically yell, "i need an adult!" and a manager comes running. Good times.

Remember when you got called out for being pathetic Pepperidge farms remembers

That school one really annoys me. My school taught how to read invoices, write CVs and letters of application, and various bank bits.
meraii
and my school was hardly alone in doing it either. Maybe the US is different but PSHE is an actual class over here in the UK.
ummmdealwithit
I experience a lot of this and I'm 16?
gnocchtastic
Oh, to be young, and to feel love's keen sting.
ayrazar
My husband walked up to me, said 'do we have plans today?' and then his whole face lit up when I said no. Married life is odd.
quicksilver1
My family would always say "oh shit" if my girlfriend got pregnant; I can't father children.
KnightRyder
All this made me feel like I'm doing so great at being an adult. Excuse me while I celebrate at 1:30AM by going to get ice cream and beer.
hydrokhoos
When I was a teenager that part of life was what I looked forward to. Now I'm 22 and in a small town where I can't even buy beer on Sunday
alliephotoshopsthings
I just ate a whole bunch of gummy vitamins. God damnit I am an adult and no one can stop me.
KnightRyder
Whoa, champ. Let me be your adultier adult and tell you, that shit is dangerous. You be careful out there.
alliephotoshopsthings
I think I'll be okay--I only had four or five. The dose is two and there's no iron in them.
calmmelody
You're also much larger then you were as a kid, so it would take more to give you the same amount of needed vitamins.
wompwompwomp
But they make adult gummy vitamins! I take fiber gummies, like an elderly child!
BambiSkater
Buzzfeed what are you doing here? http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/adult-life-baby#.fqBAKDzDN
almostalone
This is why I'm teaching my 3 monsters to actually take care of themselves. I don't care if you are 5, you will fold your own laundry.
Thisaccountwillbethedeathofmysociallife
Do it. My mom taught me to do laundry when I was 8 or so, and I was the only person on my dorm floor who knew what they were doing.
almostalone
Same for me but there was eight if us kids so it was really like a cleaning army for my mom. Damn if it didn't pay off.
KingofBurritos69
The other day I got really upset because a kilo of carrots went from $1.00 to $1.90 and I realized I was an adult now...
naturenick
I started feeling like an adult when I was keeping track of gas prices and only buying it mid week when it was cheapest
calyxium
I got really excited because, at Christmas, I could buy 2.5kg of white potatoes for only 39p. That's like, 50c.
SigPistols
Milk and eggs, man. That shit goes up 10 cents and I'm like, "guess I'm not buying milk and eggs."
KingofBurritos69
This also applies to bread
FlatWoundSounds
As an American, labeling anything by the kilo immediately makes it sound like drugs.
KingofBurritos69
As a South American, if you can buy a kilo of any drug, then good on you man.
mediumsizedtittycommittee
I got super excited at Christmas because I bought myself new towels... :(
IllusionOfHatred
I bought myself three shirts from a 2nd hand store, which I haven't done for two years.. it feels nice.
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
Lmao, but that's adorable
joshyposhy83
New towels and linens are amazing. Like putting on new sheets and getting into bed naked. So good
stuffinator
Oh god yes, I bought myself new socks and underpants and I'm all like "FUCK YEAH, I'M COMFORTABLE".
MrE158
That's a huge price jump, is there a carrot shortage I haven't heard about?
KingofBurritos69
Nah, it's just that Australia finally caught up with inflation/the Aussie dollar has lost value.
howmuchwoodcouldawoodchuckchuck22
But seriously. I'm 26 and I still don't know how to adult. When does this happen?
eromitlab
Gradually. It creeps up on you until your life is all about boring shit.
buttermyarse
No one buys a ticket, but the bus turns up anyway.
taliesan
My parents assure me that their grandparents started adulting properly around the time I was born.
AwkwardHug
My mom is 51 and has always said she still doesn't feel like an adult. So I'm really not expecting it to kick in anytime soon (I'm 29).
VanillaLaceKisses
30 here. When you find out, let me know please?
ascarya
Probably when you die.
magisch
23 Here, not sure.
AmourDeuxFilles
I'm 28 and expecting my second baby. I still have no idea how to adult.
ThePresidentOfStrayaOFFICIAL
It doesn't just happen. You have to make it happen. But it happens when you least expect. Adulting may cause flatulence. Consult your doctor
Doomintroll
I'm 30 and still haven't got a clue. Only thing I've noticed is that everybody's faking they know something.
KingGox
I watched my wife and daughter in bed and wondered who they were and who let me into their hospital room. Now I have a teenager. Not yet.
Wrexytrex
I think we all have one adult thing we do well. And 90 we dont. If we all gather together we make 1 adult and 90 children.
UsuallySpecial
One adult and about four billion children. Plus another couple of billion children children.
SuperEasyBarelyAnInconvenience
29 here, in 3 years you'll still have no idea
donotbeafraid
If you're still alive, you're doing fine.
TehAccountant
as a 29 year old some time next week....
Ultratoxic
It happens when you have no other choice but to adult up.
YoureOKItsOnlyMe
It's already happening. The mitochondria has always been the powerhouse of the cell.
Benny721
38yo, the boss at work, and no clue what I'm doing.
GaijinSamurai
I believe you become an adult when one of your parents die......morbid, but that's when it happened to me.
LoopStricken
As a 30 year old whose dad died when I was 16-ish.. nah, I still don't have a sodding clue.
ThePresidentOfStrayaOFFICIAL
That's because it usually means you're the next in line to die in your family. That's what it is to be adulted.
Speldrawng
I'm 55. I'll let you know if/when I get there.

stupidpendous
Well shit...
howmuchwoodcouldawoodchuckchuck22
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Speldrawng
I mean, I could offer you advice, but I probably couldn't tell you anything you don't already know. Just "fake it til you make it".
howmuchwoodcouldawoodchuckchuck22
Any advice is always welcome. But definitely just faking it and hoping to survive.
Speldrawng
I guess the big thing is to take your job seriously, whatever it is. Dedication and hard work always pay off. That you can't fake.
jfkenn3dy
Came here to comment about being 37 in a week and still not knowing... I'm screwed aren't I.
Speldrawng
Nah, you've got plenty of time...
ASOIAFgymcoach
I'm 27 and have been married for 3 years. Between me and my husband, we make a little over one adult.
puppiesincostumes
Oh, same here. And since few days I'm scared we might made a tiny human too. Now even combined adulting seems terrifying again. Help.
nejcek
Are you April and Andy?
ASOIAFgymcoach
Ohhh yeah.

I get so sick of this fucking bullshit joke. You know who taught me about money and taxes? My mom and dad. Schools aren't responsible for

teaching your goddamned child everything about the world. Besides, most schools have a personal finance class. Also, taxes are pretty easy.
