18 Signs You're Terrible At Adulting

"Adulting" as defined by Urban Dictionary is taking on important grown up responsibilities such as a job or any other tasks that a normal adult would have to take on. As college students, we don't have a lot of experience when it come to this because it's this kind of stuff they don't teach you in school. In fact, some of us find this very difficult. I am here to tell you that you are not alone and many people are in the same boat as you. So here is a list of signs that you are not very good at adulting.

1. Most of what you eat is either microwaveable or has the beautiful image of golden arches on the box.


2. You still try to persuade your mom into making your appointments for you.


3. You imagine what your future pets will be like rather than what your future family will be like.


4.Your "That's what she said" jokes are on point.


5. You avoid making small talk with strangers.


6. Waking up before 11:00am is unheard of.


7.Checking you bank account gets the same reaction as checking your grades.


8. When that noise your car has been making is getting worse and you don't know what to do about it.


9. When you've mastered the game of "Garbage Jenga" (also works with dishes)


10. You realize "adulting' is not as fun as you thought it was when you were 5.


11. You buy new clothes to avoid doing laundry.


12. You die a little inside every time you gas up your car.


13.Your mind is always in the gutter.


14. You find the fun in literally everything.


15. When this is your response to just about anything.


16. You don't take care of your health as well as you should be.


17. "Free" is probably one of your absolute favorite words no matter what it's applied to.


18. No matter how bad you are at "adulting", you always feel like this after you do something right.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.
