Paying bills. Constant exhaustion. Wondering what’s for dinner. An aching back. And that’s on a good day of adulting.
Seriously, it’s the worst, and here are 12 tweets that sum up why:
1. More like 7 to 14 years
laundry:
washing: 40 minutes
drying: 60 minutes
putting away: 7 to 14 business days— Jake Rogers ?? (@JMRogers14) March 26, 2019
2. Never answer the phone
Apparently being an adult means googling phone numbers that call you rather than answering them.

3. It’s not just you
4. “Perks”
Exciting perks of adulthood:
1. Busy! Busy all the time! What are you even doing? You don't know!
2. Very tired.
3. Some kinda stomach ache???
4. Definitely sad about something.
5. Bills! Bills all the time! What are you even paying for? You don't know!— Woke But Petty (@marcformarc) March 1, 2018
5. Why not both?
My life is 50% wondering if it's too late to drink coffee and 50% wondering if it's too early to drink alcohol.

6. Or earlier, if possible
When I was a kid, I never would have guessed that being an adult and going to bed “whenever I want” would mean 930pm.

7. My aching back
My favorite childhood memory is my back not hurting

8. Every night
When parents say to kids "go to ur room & think about what you've done" it's really good practice for what you'll do every night as an adult

9. Sorry!
adulthood is emailing "sorry for the delayed response!" back and forth until one of you dies

10. Ugh, inflation
11. Also: turned my head, stood up too quickly…
Injuries as a kid:
fouled on a layup
fell off trampoline
pulled muscle running
Injuries as an adult:
slept wrong
sat too long
coughed

12. Just thinking about it makes me tired
Adulthood is trying each of the same six passwords that you use for everything and complaining that you're tired.

Can we please just go to bed yet?!
