When you were a kid, all you wanted to do was grow up. You were able to live life carefree with no worries, and never even realized it. Now you wish you could fly away with Peter Pan to Neverland and never grow up. Being an adult is not as fun as you thought it would be, and here are nine reasons why:
1. You can't afford anything:
As a kid, you didn't have to worry about money, or having to pay for everything yourself, and now that you do, everything seems so expensive.
2. You're expected to have everything together:
That question you were asked when you were younger "What do you want to be when you grow up?" has a whole new meaning and you're actually supposed to know the answer now.
3. You lose the friends you thought were going to be by your side forever:
The people you grew up with and were the closest to have changed. The friends you thought you were going to have for the rest of your life are different now, and you just have to accept that losing friends is just apart of life.
4. You are tired all the time:
What happened to having endless amounts of energy and never wanting to go to bed?
5. You have no time.
As a kid, it seemed like you had all the time in the world, and now you have to keep up a busy schedule that takes up the whole day.
6. You have to deal with people that you don't like.
You have to put up with people that you don't get along with and accept that it's a part of life.
7. You have to worry about what you eat.
Eating multiple bags of Sour Patch Kids candy, two whole pizzas, and drinking liters of root beer is not an option anymore.
8. You have to make your own appointments and have adult responsibilities:
Your parents no longer call and make your appointments; you have to do everything yourself.
9. You can't rewind time:
As much as you want to go back to these days, you can't. But you can always keep your inner child alive! After all, age is just a number.
