At 21 years old, most of us don't know what the real world tastes like. After 3 years of college the real world is appraching head on. You still have 1 more year to figure out how to handle yourself in the real world. Here is a list of things that you're mom and dad didn't tell you about the real world.

1. When you live alone there is no one to zip your dress or pull your boots off of you

After a long day of work you need to get out of all your nice clothes by yourself. You may have you Google how to zip a ziper behind you, but you will get used to it.

2. Mornings are not fun

Most people aren't a big fan of mornings, but work morning are even less enjoyable. You have to shower, do your hair, do your makeup, get dressed, make breakfast, pack your lunch, and make coffee. Say goodbye to waking up 15 minutes before class and rocking the "just got out of bed" look all day.

3. You're always tired

After a long day at work, commuting, and cooking dinner all you want to do is lay in bed. You'll often find yourslef in bed before 10 p.m. When the weekend comes around you are more excited to sleep than to go out with friends.

4. Public transportation is no piece of cake

Not only does public transportation cost more than you would like, but its not easy to manage. Transferring from different forms of transportation can cause a headache with delays. You'll also get pushed and shoved and sat next to the undesirable seat mates.
