Even if they are embarrassing and shameful

The world is a strange and terrifying place. We all need to help each other navigate the troubled waters of time...or something

10. Abandon your inhibitions

Unleash them on whoever is nearest; a friend, a family member, the guy behind the counter at Subway...

12. But don't be too touchy-feely

That will make you seem weak to other over 30-somethings

13. Stay focused

Don't get sidetracked by shiny objects, funny words or sexual innuendos. Real adults never notice these things

14. Stock up on grown-up gadgets

Throw away your childish toys and replace them with adult toys. They're less fun, more expensive, and often dangerous! Yay!

15. Be cool

All adults do drugs! There are literally no negative side effects!

16. If in doubt, freak out!

When everything is going wrong just throw your hands in the air, lie down and wait for death to come. It's so much easier than trying to come up with a solution to the problem

17. Create an air of mystery about yourself

"What time is it?" "I'm sorry, for personal reasons I cannot answer that question". Are you crazy, or a genius? No one will ever know!

18. Watch adult TV shows

Resign yourself to a lifetime of Antique Roadshow, Diagnosis Murder and the News

19. Make a statement

Whether it's through words or actions it's important to make yourself noticed!

20. Attend formal events with colleagues

Be sure to stay within the dress code requirements - creativity is no longer your friend.

21. Enter into an adult relationship

Make sure you don't like your partner too much. Most grown-ups secretly hate each other, but don't want to die alone

22. Most importantly, dream big!
