10 Signs You're Entering Adulthood

It's you're 21st birthday? You're a citizen of the United States?!  This means you have all the responsibility in the world to get plastered legally!! Cheers for entering adulthood!!

If you remember this night, you didn't drink enough.

Now that you got all of that out of your system. Do you feel like an adult? Probably not. But it's okay because being an adult is slightly overrated.

However, it t will come creeping up on you in the future and you'll have a moment of realization that you are indeed an adult. Mostly. I mean you're probably still in your 20s when you realize it.

I'm Amanda and I have "officially" been an adult for 2 years. I only now started to feel like one so I decided to compile a list of sure signs that you have indeed entered adulthood.

1. You woke up one day and started separating your darks from your lights while doing laundry.

2. You begin to prefer a home cook meal over fast food.

You may not be a culinary genius, but bacon and macaroni is awesome.

 3. You could live for the night, or you could get 8 hours of sleep.

4. When you call your parents it's to just talk and not to ask for money.

Though you won't complain when they send money.

5. You begin to seriously think about your future by researching/applying to companies/grad schools during your free time.

Disney World cast member could always be your back up plan.

6.  While freaking out about midterms/finals/papers is a thing of the past. 

 7. A lot of your friends and peers are getting married or popping out babies. On one hand you're like:

But then you think about it:

Maybe in 5, possibly 10 years, I'll be ready for that.

8. College freshmen and teenagers resemble babies.

9. Going to a bar with friends becomes more appealing than clubbing or house parties.

10. You have flipped a coin, used a magic 8 ball, draw slips from a hat to make important life decisions at least once. I mean come on, after college there are too many choices of where to go to next. 

If any items on this list start to pertain to you, guess what?! You're on your way to becoming an actual adult. But it'll be okay. All it means is you have more responsibilities and you are aware of them. You can still eat cookie dough for breakfast and watch cartoons.
