We all should know by now that being an adult is looking both ways before crossing a road…and then getting hit by a rocket.
If you’ve never quite trusted your ability to adult:
-
You doubt yourself a lot.
-
“Why’s everything so blurry? Oh…I forget to put on my contacts.”
-
You’re always trying your best to get your sh*t together…
-
But no matter what, sh*t just keeps hitting the fan (even when things aren’t that sh*tty.)
-
You have to coach yourself into being productive.
-
“Okay, I’m going to finish this paper for the next hour without any distractions!”
-
…An hour later you’ve just finished an episode of a new TV show on Netflix.
-
Because no matter what time you commit to finishing something, you just end up pushing the deadline back further and further.
-
Speaking of which, you always underestimate time.
-
Like when you tell yourself you can make that train on time…
-
…but end up getting there an hour late.
-
You sometimes give f*ckboys the benefit of the doubt.
-
Because “chill” must mean a relaxed date right?
-
You tend to put off chores like laundry
-
Until you’re finally forced to wear your underwear inside out.
-
You keep track of your finances like a drug lord.
-
Because if not, you’d probably be moving back in with your parents.
-
You avoid shopping when money is tight which is always.
-
You always think the worst when you go out to party with friends because you don’t trust yourself to be able to save them if they get too close to a railing and fall off a bridge.
-
Your answer to “what are you doing with your life?” is always rehearsed.
-
Youtube tutorials are your religion.
-
You avoid WebMD like the plague or else your doctor’s appointments feel more like horror movies.
-
You turn on your alarm when you nap, or else napping turns to sleeping turns to “wait, what time is it?”
-
There are days where you feel completely sh*tty, but you keep going anyway because you trust yourself to not give up.
