32 Things Every Millenial Struggling With "Adulting" Needs to Hear

1. You are an adult now whether you like it or not. 

2. And it’s okay if you don’t like it right now because being an adult is very hard.

3. We often forget that entering into adulthood is a big change. We’re on our own now. 

4. You might look back at your college years in regret because you wished you made better decisions.

5. But don’t ever spend most of your time drowning in those regrets. 

6. If you want to start off fresh, don’t wait until the right time, start right now.

7. Take your time with building your life.

8. You don’t have to rush into finding apartments, getting the perfect job, knowing how to cook, etc.

9. You’re going to go through different housing situations, internships, odd jobs, and cooking disasters before you get it right.

10. Because you’re growing and therefore, life is growing with you.

11. No one gets it exactly right in their 20s. 

12. Your 20s really is the time when you’re figuring out exactly what you want to do.

13. So please stop beating the crap out of yourself.

14. Because you’re doing better than you think you are.

15. And it’s better to give it your all than to half-a** it.

16. Because half-a**ing it might as well be not doing it at all.

17. Bills suck but they’re a part of life, so learn how to pay them.

18. Take better care of yourself.

19. Because contrary to popular belief, being an adult doesn’t equate to forgetting how to be human.

20. Eat better, sleep better, get some fresh air, take your meds, take a bath, just be healthy.

21. Because you owe it to yourself to be here in the long run and you’ll feel great too.

22. It’s okay to plug out and go get a drink with friends.

23. Because at the end of the day, social media is excessive and fleeting. 

24. It’s okay to not go to college if you really feel like it’s not for you.

25. And if you do go to college, make sure you major in something you actually like.

26. Because you don’t want to end up in a field where you’re absolutely miserable even if you’re making a ton of money.

27. Because money may buy happiness but that “happiness??? can disappear in a second.

28. It’s time to stop worrying about how you appear to others.

29. Because it’s much more reassuring to be yourself and accept the fact that no matter what, you have flaws.

30. And for the love of God, stop going crazy over your friends getting married and having kids.

31. It’s their life, so live yours.

32. And live a life that fits you because you’re an adult now. It’s time to make the best of it.
