We used to dread house chores as kids. Little did we know that it was just our parents’ way of preparing us for the never-ending chores we have to face as adults.

Sometimes, it’s just hard to say no to family, friends, and coworkers. And our inability to say no almost always leave us doing things and going to places we don’t really want.

I really can’t blame this guy. Living as an adult is truly exhausting, particularly if you consider the things you go through every single day.

Even if we take extra shifts or get a second job, the bills just keep on piling up. It’s like the work we do is never enough to sustain the cost of being an adult.

Being dehydrated can make you experience a lot of things. Headache and irritability are just two of them.

You’re pretty much on your own. No one can tell you what you can and can’t do anymore.

Back then, we were so clueless about why mom would get mad for the smallest things we do. Adulthood can be such a good eye-opener.

The cost of being an adult is really expensive. Just consider the cost of rent, groceries, fuel, food, and the bills you have to pay if you don’t believe that.

By the time you’ve realized those things, you’re already an adult. And by that point, there’s no going back.

Finding a decent sofa that’s not super expensive isn’t easy. And yes, that and paying taxes are quite disappointing.

This is mostly true for a lot of adults. It’s one good reason to prioritize self-care and ask for help when you need it.

This is one good reason why you need to consider taking extra shifts. It’s hard to live on paycheck to paycheck.

Having clean sheets and pillowcases should also be on this list. A full tank of gas is exciting, too.

Good cheese is quite expensive these days. However, I don’t think it’s enough reason to go looking for a sugar daddy. Find a good job if you seriously want cheese.

It’s fine to treat yourself once in a while. Just make sure that this doesn’t happen over and over again.

This sounds about right. For some strange reason, things just keep happening and we don’t even want to be a part of them.

This is false. Not everyone at that age does coke. Most of us have a better way of coping with a hard life.

I think we need to find a better and more practical way to treat ourselves after a hard week at work. We’re going to end up seriously broke if we spend money we don’t even have just because we think we’ve had a tough week.

Be careful about your spending habits. If you aren’t careful, you’ll soon find yourself broke and that’s not a good thing when you’re an adult. Having groceries is a lot better than having a pretty tiara on your head.

You have to be responsible. With such freedom comes great consequences. Before you know it, you’re already obese and with diabetes.

10% is letting your inbox fill up with emails that aren’t even important. Don’t deny it. We’ve all been there.

These are two very important things we need to prioritize for our health. It’s the same two things we though we’ll never need to think about once we reach adulthood.

If you think being able to buy and eat whatever you want is a good thing, adulthood will make you think twice. It’s that privilege that generally cause obesity and weight problems.

Well, emails don’t seem urgent. If something is urgent, you should pick up the phone.

Sleep is so precious for adults. This is why we take sleeping hours very seriously.

Being an adult these days is terrifying. Seriously, I want to go back to the point when all I ever worry about is what ice cream flavor I should have.

It’s not because we don’t like parties and having fun. It’s just that we prefer to be alone and stay at home than to stay up late and deal with hangovers the next day.

I guess it’s just the kids that aren’t tired. They don’t even want to take a nap.

If you get notifications in your email, it’s probably a good way to check what’s new on social media. That way, you won’t have to expose yourself to everyone’s drama.

You worked hard for your money. You shouldn’t let anything you buy get to waste.

Everything is so expensive these days. We don’t really have the right to be extra picky, even with bananas.

Sometimes, they happen all at once. It’s like the problems refuse to even give us time to take a breath.

Now, this is a horror movie a lot of us will surely be able to relate to. Even without extensive and complicated plot twists, it’ll surely be a success.

Well, there’s really no guarantee in life. Despite the coolness and cursing, our lives are all bound to end at some point.

Healthy foods don’t always taste great. When you eat them every single day, it can feel like punishment.

It’s truly a treat to look at the catalog and being able to mark the books you want. It’s something most kids don’t get to enjoy these days.

I guess by the time she’s 40, she’d still be wondering who those persons were. And by 65, she’ll probably give up in trying to figure them out.

In a simpler term, 99% of us is asking for help. Since we really can’t rely on others to live our lives, we need to take a grip on that remaining 1% and just be an adult.

This sums up life as an adult. Even if you don’t know what you are doing or why you’re feeling sad, you just power through everything.

I don’t think it’s really giving you an option. If it is, there’ll be a “Never” option somewhere.

The cycle of planning and cancelling plans is quite normal when you’re an adult. You’ll just have to figure out whose turn it is.

At 25, you’ve probably had a good taste of what it’s like to be an adult. Now, imagine living that life until 65 or 68. That’s a lot of years left.

And if you don’t finish it, you’re likely to consider yourself as a failure. Oh, the things you do to disappoint yourself.

I think kids have a better life than most adults. They get to have candy runs and ice cream. Sometimes, they get to eat them after dinner, too.

This is exactly what most of us needs to hear. If you’ve done any of those things, congratulations. You’re nailing adulthood!

You know what’s worse than this? It’s when you keep forgetting to buy them and you have to spend weeks without Q-tips and salt.

Don’t believe yourself when you pick a password because it’s easy to remember. You’re likely to forget about it the very next day.

It looks like we get more and more sensitive to pain as we age. And every day, there’s a new part of us that’s going to hurt. It won’t take long before you find your entire body in pain.

When you’re an adult, no one will judge you for the things you throw in your cart. Most adults would probably have the same things.

You won’t need your mom to tell you to spend some time alone in your room to think about your life choices. It’ll come naturally as an adult.

It’s hard to keep more that a dozen friends when you’re getting old. It seems like everyone is busy getting their lives together.

The addiction actually starts at a young age. A lot of adults have been hooked to HGTV since they were 15 and they’re proud of it.

It’s really not that hard to sort your priorities when you’re an adult. You consider sleep above everything else. After all, it’s something we don’t always get to have.

You can’t always rely on other people to help you out when you’re an adult. You need to know how to look after yourself.

This isn’t the only problem adults have with dishwashers. Remembering if the washer was run or not is a common issue, too.

I think I have all of these even before I reached 30. I still have them until now.

When you start paying for your own groceries, that’s when you’ll realize how expensive everything is. It’s like everything is made of gold.

Not taking out the chicken early means you’ll have to eat instant noodles and whatever is left in your fridge for dinner. I think that’s enough reason to get upset.

As adults, you finally get to express your ideas and emotions. It’s only right to use as much exclamation points as you want. With all the things you are going through, you deserve it.

Being an adult is like waking up from a dream. It’s when you realize that adulthood isn’t as great as you once thought and not losing your tupperware is a lot more important than traveling the whole world, if that’s even possible.

The nice thing about being adults is that you don’t have to always see each other just to consider yourselves as friends. You can miss out on a lot of things and still say you love each other when you get to finally meet again.

Being an adult doesn’t mean you’ll have a clearer idea of what to do with your life. It’s actually worse since no one can tell you what you should do.

When we want to do something as a kid, we always ask our parents for permission. If they said no, there’s no way you can do what you’ve planned. As an adult, however, it’s the other way around. We’d gladly look for an excuse just to avoid doing what others have planned.

When you lose your mom in the department store, you feel this instant fear of being alone and the need to survive by yourself. That’s pretty much what you have to do when you get older.

As you age, you become more prone to more serious diseases. Knowing that can be quite scary so you just avoid frightening yourself and hope for the best.

You’ll never know when you’ll need a good container. That’s why it’s always good to have a cabinet full of Tupperware, even if most of them don’t have matching lids.

Alcohol makes being an adult a lot easier. You just have to be careful about how much alcohol you’re drinking. Otherwise, yu might end up being the person other people are just pretending to like.

Not all calls are worth answering. Spending a few seconds doing a Google search about the number you’re calling is better than spending several minutes talking to a person you don’t really want to have a conversation with.

We all know socialization is important. However, the process of getting ready, putting on makeup, and dressing up is just too tedious. Most afdults would rather stay at home and wear a comfortable pair of pajamas with a nice glass of wine on hand.

Kids think that adults are lucky because they can do whatever they want. What they don’t know is that they are luckier because they get to enjoy naps and snacks without worrying about anything else.

It’s like kids are the only ones who can talk about their favorite dinosaurs. You see, we also have our favorite colors and ice cream flavors. It’ll be nice if someone asks us about them, too.

Like what others say, “if it’s too loud, you’re too old”. You can consider yourself an adult if the loud music next door is making you want to rip off your hair.

With so many things to do, it’s hard to find time to read the books you love. Even if you try, you’re just likely to end up spending months on one.

As kids, you’ve probably experienced fighting with your siblings about who’s going to open the letters. Now, it’s hard to feel as excited when you know what’s inside those letters.

As an adult, life seems to be testing you most of the time. After solving one, you’ll find yourself dealing with another problem. It can sometimes feel like an endless cycle.
