Growing up is something that we all have to face eventually, but what if I don’t ever want to face it?
I can remember when I was in grade school and I was very antsy about the idea of moving out of my house and living a life on my own. It sounded like heaven to me. In my eyes, growing up consisted of having no curfew, staying up all night, eating junk food constantly and being simply free. I was not aware that with growing up come responsibilities (EW). Below, I have listed 7 realistic reasons why I don’t want to grow up.
1. Paying bills
I’m sorry but I don’t think I will ever learn how to pay bills no matter how hard someone would try and teach me. That stuff is just way too complicated for my brain to handle. WHY DIDN'T THEY TEACH US THIS IN SCHOOL? No thank you. I will happily pass. This is one of the main reasons I need to get married so my husband can take care of it because I would successfully fail.
2. Buying my own groceries
I am almost 20 and I have yet to buy groceries for myself and honestly, I really don’t ever want to. Lets face it, I would end up buying junk food anyway. It’s not that I am lazy. Okay, yeah, I am lazy. It takes a lot out of my day, and why do something that hopefully if I get married, my husband will love me enough to do it for me? Probably not. So okay, I might starve.
3. Doing my laundry
I strongly feel I am the only one in college that has not done my own laundry. I feel like I would be the one to mess it up somehow, so I might as well add this to the list of things I still haven't learned by now.
4. Setting up my own doctor appointments
I don’t know about you guys, but I have a strong fear of doing this. I don’t know what it is about calling and talking to a receptionist about setting up an appointment, but it’s just really frightening to me and I cannot do it.
5. Eating healthy and working out
Ha. Ha. Ha. Oh, how I wish that my fast metabolism could stay with me through my adult years. I have failed at working out and eating healthy since I was a teenager so how in the world am I going to be able to do it now when Mcdonald's JUST started serving breakfast ALL DAY?
6. Getting a decent job
My apologies to everyone out there that loves kids, but babysitting every once in a while isn’t going to cut it now that we are in the real world.
7. Finding a soul mate
It is already hard work trying to find a boy now, so how in the WORLD will it be any easier when I am older? I feel like if I don’t have a long-term boyfriend by this time in my life, odds are I am probably going to end up all alone. But seriously, not only is it going to be difficult to find a perfect contender for me in general, but now I am going to have to find a guy that agrees to pay the bills, do all the laundry, get the groceries, force me to work out and eat healthy, and call in for my own doctor appointments. Good luck to me.
Growing up sounded so good, but now it’s sounding less and less appealing by the day.
