    1. Seeing half of your high school graduating class at the bar.

    There's a time and a place for those people we spent grades 9-12 with...they're called reunions and we're thankful they only happen once a year.

    2. Not checking your bank account until you absolutely have to.

    It's better to just assume you have no money than to actually know you have no money, right?

    3. Gaining five (or more) pounds in one weekend.

    I have a feeling we're not in college anymore.

    4. Applying to jobs as a full-time job.

    If you had a dollar for every time someone asked you what your ~plan~ is, you might be able to afford your useless degree.

    5. Drinking craft beer to look cool.

    Despite the fact you secretly think IPAs taste like soap.

    6. Following your parents' rules again.

    While your roommates never minded when you stumbled in the house at 5 a.m. on a Sunday, it's likely your parents will be more concerned.

    7. Using WebMd as your primary doctor.

    You might use the symptom checker app to verify that you are actually dying.

    8. Reading about the horrors of gluten.

    And then spending your entire next paycheck on gluten-free groceries.

    9. Binging out on junk despite what you read.

    Because spending $9 on a vegan kale salad gets old reeeeealllllyyyy quick.

    10. Making your first loan payment.

    You can almost feel your soul exit your body.

    11. Wishing you were 21 again.

    Nothing makes you feel like you're 22 quite like wishing you were 21 again.

    If spending money you don't have on fad diets and expensive beer is wrong, then you're probably not 22.
