As you may know, I’m considered an adult even though I don’t feel like one. This whole being an adult thing has really freaked me out since I graduated and started my master’s degree program. However, I have thought about getting business cards for quite some time. That’s what adults do, right? I’m not even sure anymore since I’ve come across interns with stacks of business cards ready for distribution. The whole adulting thing is just intimidating, but that’s what I’m kind of doing. So, what exactly do you do when you’re trying to figure out how to be an adult when you’re already adulting?
In walks a Facebook ad that brought this thought back to the forefront of my mind. As I was cruising along on Facebook’s beloved platform, I came across an ad for business cards. This immediately prompted something inside of me. Do I need business cards? What else do adults need? Of course, this is all so silly but sometimes being an adult can be scary. I mean it’s a lot of responsibility and I miss the days where I didn’t have to worry so much about grown-up things. Sure I love what I’m doing now and sure I’m not totally an adult yet, but I know that eventually I will be pushed into the adult world.

Haha! I’ve been adulting for awhile now. I just had this discussion with my son. I’d love to be a kid again. Just do some things over again.
Me too! Kids don’t know how lucky they are!
This is so brilliant! I completely relate to that whole thing of feeling like you’re not an adult, even though you are – I’m pretty sure most people do too! I pretty much need to do every single one of those things on your tip list!

It’s such a weird feeling to be an adult but not feel like one! Do you think this is something that will ever change?
Haha great post! Adulting is HARD. I certainly couldn’t feel less of an adult even though I’m 25 next month. Fortunately, I can tick a few off your list! I can make a decent dinner and don’t rely on the microwave and I get enough sleep (apart from last night). I don’t drink so the wine parings isn’t relevant to me. I need to learn how to take a compliment and I definitely feel like I’m going through some sort of low-key quarter life crisis xxx
You’re right! Adulting is really hard! I hope you enjoyed this list!
Aw love this! Being an adult is so strange, I feel as if I am some kind of infant-adult hybrid haha; I balance out adulting and looking after my son with watching Moana and collecting magic unicorn eggs xD xx
