Adulthood


Lately I've been saying things like: "When did I become an adult?" "How come I have to be an adult?" and "I want to quit this adult life."

Really! I don't know when it all happened. All of a sudden I have to pay bills, work all the time and make tough life decisions. It really is not very fun and I don't like it one bit!

When I first got my apartment I was so excited. My first place! Now I dread paying rent, I hate it when the toilet gets clogged and keeping it clean is a whole nother story.

For the first several months it was exciting getting bills, writing checks and sending them off. (Or paying online). Not anymore.

At first a real job was great! I felt very grown up and loved getting a paycheck. Now . . . I dread having to go to work. Why can't I just sleep in!?!?! And my paycheck just goes to bills.

I don't feel prepared or mature enough to be an adult. I don't want to take my car in when it is not working properly. I don't want to make doctor apoinment when I am not working properly. I don't want to make important decisions about my life, i.e. grad school, moving ect..

How do I get off this adult life track?

I feel what you are saying especially this week - SPRING BREAK. I want a spring break. And summer vacation. And two or three weeks off for Christmas. It's not fair.

I feel like it's something that you kinda have to push through - once you get to the point where the bills and cleaning and all that are a part of your routine then you can be a silly kid when you want to. I feel sorry for the people who just do all the routine stuff all the time and don't take time to do silly dances (my speciality) sing silly songs and laugh at stupid jokes.
