When we were younger we couldn’t wait to be an adult, now that we are there, it’s like, “No, take me back to my childhood!”

The lack of payments, working, and having to only get an A+ in coloring is what made our childhood so great (that and the fact our generation was actually creative as kids and played outside).

Fast forward to having to actually get up early (and no, not for the Saturday cartoons), and scramble to get my coffee in time, and we finally realize we are adults.

Here are some other things that bring you to the realization that you are now an adult.

1. You set up your own appointments.

Time to step up to the plate with the awkward calling and talking like we know what we're doing (we don't.)

2. You live at Target.

Honestly Target us grocery shopping, clothing shopping, date night, coffee runs, and dollar store all in one. What's not to love?

3. You drink your coffee, BLACK.

The bitter taste wakes us up and gets the caffeine in the bloodstream faster.

4. You do away with the posters on your walls and repaint everything white.

No more One Direction or Hannah Montana posts lining every inch of our wall. Now we go for the more minimalistic approach.

5. You spend your Friday nights going to bed early, exhausted from your 9 to 5 job.

9 PM exact.

6. You have a 9 to 5 job.

When we were kids we were so excited to join the workforce and make money... Now that we do it, it's exhausting and we wish we were back in pre-school.

7. You spend your money on dishes and house items.

Okay, but how fun is it to pick out cute dishes and match everything together.

8. You take yoga classes to de-stress.

Never said we were good at it.

9. You don't care what anyone things of you.

Honestly at this point nobody cares about you. You don't care about them. We all just do our own thing.

10. You take the extra fifteen minutes of sleep rather than doing makeup and hair.

It does make a difference.

11. You watch the gas prices and get excited when they go down.

If I have to pay two cents less on gas then you bet I will be dancing as I fill up.

12. Cleaning relaxes you.

The chores we used to hate as kids are now the escape from reality we have.

13. You start cutting coupons.

If I can save a buck on toilet paper, you bet I will cut those coupons like there is no tomorrow.

14. You do taxes.

Or at least try. Then run to dad and ask him how the heck I actually do them.

15. All your friends start getting married.

The first one is exciting, then after about seven you start getting annoyed that you have to spend money on yet another blender.

16. And have kids.

Cool, you do that, while I stand over here and binge watch Netflix for a few hours with my nonexistent kids.

17. And you have plants.

They only last a few days though.

18. You spend more money on office supplies than clothes.

A new planner with gold sparkles? Throw it in the cart. Those gel pens you love? Add them in. New journals were just released? I'll take seven.

19. You plan trips away with your best friends.

Gone are the family vacations and here are the cheap road trips with your best friends.

20. You are no longer on your parents' insurance.

Just be ready to throw your money away... and lots of it.

21. You pick out color swatches for your house.

So many choices of pinks and blues. I have to get all the swatches.

22. Your eyesight is going bad.

Maybe it's us getting old or maybe it's the fact our generation spends time looking at screens all day. Who knows?

23. Hallmark movies with Ben and Jerry's is the ultimate Saturday night.

This has been the ultimate Saturday night since college.

24. You're always low on cash.

All those expenses add up.

25. Your eating habits are questionable.

Why bother cooking when your exhausted and can just order pizza or take out instead?

26. The economy.

When someone asks you a question about politics.

27. You pay bills.

Bills, Bills, Bills. So much fun.

So whether you are about to go out into adulthood today, or you have a few more years of leaning on your parents, the fact of the matter is we are growing up. We can either dread it, and complain constantly, or we can take it head on and enjoy what life throws at us (please let it be money).
