Seven Signs You're Adulting

There's a fine line between young adult and real adult, and you've crossed it.

You're stressed about work, you're paying bills, and your fridge's contents are 90% condiments. Welcome, friend. Welcome to adulting. As a person of recent adult age, I have found that there are seven signs to knowing that you too have found yourself in adulthood.

1. Learning that food expires if you don't eat it quickly enough.

Grocery shopping didn't seem like a big deal when mom was doing it. Now when you decide to make that spinach salad after a week of letting it sit, you realize that's $6 you'll never see again.

2. Hangovers become a real “See You Next Tuesday.”

Half a bottle of tequila on a Saturday? No problem – when you’re 21. Those sweet, sweet days of no hangovers are gone.

3. Not wanting to party – all the time.

You’re a grown ass person now. Partying all the time is exhausting, especially when you got errands to run.

4. Caring about what you eat and how often you exercise.

Maybe your parents were right about eating your vegetables? Maybe you took P.E. for granted?

5. Actually wanting to hang out with your parents.

Before when they asked you a million questions about your day you couldn’t run away fast enough, but now you want to spend time with them.

6. You own a crock pot.

BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING AND CHANGES YOUR LIFE.

7. You and your friends have grown-up jobs.

Your friends adult now too and since you don’t get to see them as much, you never turn down a Taco Tuesday.
