For a person in their early 20's it's kind of hard for me to say that life is hard. Regardless let me say, life is freaking hard. I mean I never realized what crap my parents were going through when they were raising me. They had to constantly adult, where I can sometimes get away with having a small childish breakdown because no one is looking to me for answers. Adulthood can definitely get way too serious sometimes, so I have decided to lighten it up by letting Grey's walk us through the everyday struggles of Adulthood.
1. When you have to make your own Appointments
This is the moment when we realize there is no one there to hold our hands, and that when the doctors asks us what wrong we are gonna have to play real adult and tell them instead of having mom do it.
2. When you get your first real paycheck and feel like a boss
You have money, the world and all of it's cute shoes are in your hands!
3. Then you realize you spent all of it and you still have to make it through the week
You're broke, your stupid and you now have to live beside the local hobo.
4. Realizing that we can't always say the first thing that comes to mind
Being blunt with someone can often get you in trouble with the wrong people
5. Which brings us to remember the ease in talking behind someones back
When the person can't hear what your saying, it wont matter what comes out of your mouth.
6. When you hate your job but then you remember about rent
Resisting the urge to call in sick everyday you have to work is a very good step in the right direction to adulthood!
7. When you blame your parents for not being prepared for adulthood
"Maybe you shouldn't have cooked me dinner every day like a good mother! I am weak now because of you... Yes I'll have some cookies"
8. When you have to make your own food
"I think we've had Ramen everyday this week... Easy Mac then."
9. When you completely mess up, and the only person you can blame is yourself
You cannot predict the future. All you can do is say it wont happen again and then try to remember what you did to ensure that is the truth!
10. When life has overpowered you to the point where you are certifiably crazy
These are our frequent childish breakdowns that no one has to see
11. When it feel like you finally have it together, but have this feeling it's all going to end soon.
Whatever life throws at you, just remember that if you can make it through the die without dying, you've done your job.
