Growing up is inevitable and can be both exciting and horrifying. While we all want to hit certain ages (aka 21), we also don’t want to hand over our youth in the process. Many moments exist when you can feel the youth draining out of you and you realize that no matter how hard you try not to, adult-ing is occurring and you are growing up. Below are some of the warning signs that you are getting old.

1. You become less and less able to stay out late.

Not because you can’t handle your alcohol, because you learned how to do that a long time ago (another warning sign of getting older), but rather because you know you have things to accomplish in the morning or because you get really tired really easily nowadays.

2. You get excited when you save a lot of money at the grocery store.

You now actually have a budget and can’t just spend all of your money all the time on food. Unfortunately, there are other bills to be paid and buying full priced Ben and Jerry’s might not be in the cards for you anymore. You get a rush when you use a bunch of coupons saving you money that can go elsewhere or allow you to splurge on food you couldn’t otherwise buy.

3. You find yourself loving going home more and more.

Maybe it’s a way for you to escape your responsibilities for a while, maybe you finally realized that there’s really no place like home, but who’s to say for sure? Not much is better than talking to your parents for a while and getting a nice home cooked meal.

4. You start paying attention to the news.

Maybe you watch Fox, aka fluff news, or maybe you read The Skimm but regardless, you have actually begun to take an interest in the world. You might even have a political stance, which is more than you’d be able to say back in the day.

5. You don’t need to constantly be surrounded by people.

You now actually like at times to be away from people, away from it all. Instead of constantly needing validation from those around you, you know that you are enough. Also being away from everyone gives you the well-deserved time you need to nap.

6. You plan your meals and might actually cook once in a while.

Your diet is no longer solely ramen and cheap alcohol, although that still frequents it regularly. You now can actually make something also other than Mac & Cheese or some sort of frozen meal. Hell, you might even make something involving meat for dinner once a week.

7. You no longer fit into the “kids” category at family gatherings.

This one you were probably excited about too, but then you realized that getting promoted to the adults table at Thanksgiving meant you were actually becoming a quasi-adult, which is terrifying.

8. You actually own business-casual and business-professional outfits.

What’s more, you actually like some of them. You probably bought them to start interviewing or going to career fairs because, shocker, you actually have to start worrying about a career.

9. You make your own appointments.

Your parents have finally forced you to schedule your own dentist appointments because they have no idea what your schedule most days is even like- probably for the best. You might even have some of these places, like your doctor’s office, contacts in your phone.

10. Sunday’s don’t even count as the weekend anymore.

Sunday’s are the day you have to get your life together for the entire week. It no longer is just the day for homework, but actually includes groceries and other items on your agenda you literally didn’t have time for previously in the week.
