English playwright Oscar Wilde once said, “Youth is wasted on the young.”
I often think about this quote when I ride in to work everyday and consider what I’ve done with my life. Because we had all that time! And what did we do with it? Eat gummy fruits and watch reruns? Why wasn’t I investing in stocks?!
Thankfully, there’s Twitter. Where comedians hang out and tweet funny sh^t that we can all relate to.
Let’s have fun.
16. I scream! And… that’s it. I just scream.
To child:
The good news is that when you're a grownup, you can eat ice cream for dinner. The bad news is that it's because you're depressed.— Elizabeth Hackett (@LizHackett) August 27, 2015
15. MINE!
Childhood: I can be anything I want to be when I grow up!
Adulthood: Please someone just find me a job that doesn't make me wish for death.

14. Q: What do you want to be when you grow up? A: An employee, apparently.

13. Drugs help.
It's cute how I used to think this "barely-holding-it-together" feeling was temporary.

10. 4 hours at least. 6 hours at the most.
My vision board is just a picture of me sleeping.

9. What a pain!
KID: *falls out of tree* I'm fine
ADULT: *sleeps on neck a little strangely* I have to turn my whole body to look at you for the next week— batkaren (@batkaren) December 17, 2015
8. Why doesn’t anybody stop me from doing these things?!
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

7. Time works differently now.

6. OMG. This is so true!
You're not an adult until you have a cabinet full of Tupperware and every time you open it they all spill out and you can never find a matching lid for the one you want to use.

5. Too expensive!
True mark of adulthood: instead of your parents scheduling your doctor's appointments, you just avoid going to the doctor & hope u don't die

4. Can I hire a domineering mom for another 5 years?
I'm an adult, and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want, and I wish someone would take this power from me.

3. I read lots of Böökes
9 yo me: wow I love my public library yes I’d like to check out 14 novels that are above my reading level. Be back next week
Me now: wow I love my public library yes I would like to check out one—I believe it’s called a Bööke? I will be back in 3-5 business months

2. Stop jumping! I want to get back on my feet!
Remember when you were little and you'd fall on the trampoline and everyone would keep jumping so you couldn't get back up? That's how adult life feels

1. Wait… how much is THAT?

Now that was some good adulthood! I feel MUCH better about ALL my choices.
What do you think? Do you struggle with being all grown up and stuff?
