There comes a time in everyone's life when suddenly, you find yourself paying bills, waking up to go to work, and wondering where the days of your youth went. It happens to the best of us, because sooner or later we have to grow up, right? But how do you know when you're fully an adult, because sometimes there seems to be a grey area called college when you're kind of in between.

Nonetheless, here are a few signs that you're an adult.

1. You Get Excited To Buy Kitchen Supplies

I found myself, not even needing, but wanting a new non-stick pan and when I decided to go buy one, I couldn't help but feel excited. I was happy that I could finally make a perfect omelet without the eggs sticking to the pan and burning.

2. If It's 10 pm, It's Past Your Bedtime

It's not college anymore, and when the clock hits 10 pm, you no longer want to pre-game, and just want to go to sleep. Nothing says adulthood by having your teeth brushed, retainer in and all, by 9 pm.

3. You Can't Sleep In Past 9 Anymore

Is it me or does it seem that the older you get, the harder it is to sleep in? Probably has something to do with the fact that we're going to sleep hours earlier now.

4. A Wild Friday Night Includes Your Couch And Netflix

You no longer feel like going out on a Friday night. In fact, your younger friends call you up asking you to go out with them, and you don't even have to make up a lie or excuse again, you simply just tell them you'd rather stay in.

5. Grocery Shopping Day Is Your Favorite Day

No? Just me? Well no matter what, you need food to survive so when you finally get the chance to hit up your local Walmart, it's a good day. Who doesn't like a fully stocked fridge and pantry?

Unfortunately, unlike Peter Pan, we can't stay young forever, but becoming an adult is a much needed step in life that will get easier, then harder, then easier and so on.
