26 Signs You Have Peter Pan Syndrome

In modern psychology, a new stage of life is rising, called young adult. Many of us are familiar with this terminology from the genre of books that appeal to both teenagers and adults. In the context of our millennial generation, young adult means we identify with both the youth population and the adult population, but don't identify completely with either. Britney Spears put it perfectly when she sang, "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman… I'm in between."

I suspect in a couple of years there will be support groups for this kind of thing, but for now we're the age group that has the most fun. We have legal power, but have retained our sense of YOLO.

If you've been suspecting you were one of us, here's how to know:

16. You buy more snacks than groceries.
17. You still have your skateboard ready to go.
18. G and PG-rated movies are awesome.
19. You eat sugar like you breathe air.
20. You call in sick for work, even when you're not.
21. You still occasionally shop at stores you've been going since high school. Abercrombie has the best jeans, seriously. 
22. Roadtrips and travels don't need a reason and you've done this a few times already.
23. And no one needs a reason to breakout into dance either.
24. Whenever there are rules, you have the unnerving urge to break them.
25. The trouble with finding a partner is that they don't dream as much as you. A whole life is out there! Take it!
