Worst Things About Being an Adult
Honestly, yes. At the risk of sounding like a spoiled brat (forgive me, I was raised like one by both parents), thank you so much, Mother and Father, for giving me the gift of life - a gift I have to literally work for until the day I die, or I'll be homeless and miserable.
I would like to just collect money for free.
Bills, bills, bills, and more bills. Get used to seeing them in your mailbox.
Honestly, yes! Who even decided this was a good idea? The government gets money from my hard work!
Everyone's least favorite word in the English dictionary.
I'm not looking forward to being an adult.
My life goes by way too fast because of all the homework I get in college. I also sleep a lot, and my parents make me go to bed early.
Tell me about it! My job always keeps me busy, and I almost never have time to go on *The Top Tens List* website anymore.
Between work and other stuff, most adults never have time to watch movies, play video games, or do anything else fun.
Me in eighth grade: *Cries because Dad won't let me go to Walmart*
Dad: You are not eight years old. You're in eighth grade, the oldest year of middle school, and you shouldn't cry over something so small. It's not as bad as Grandpa's death two years ago.
Me as an adult: I'm not going to Walmart because I'm afraid Dad won't let me. I don't want to be banned from Walmart or severely punished when I get home.
Not going to Walmart was one of my childhood punishments, but now it's become a goal and a blessing in my adulthood.
Honestly, at 25, I get stares for playing Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, but to them, I say, Mind your own business! If you want to be boring and miserable, be my guest, but I will always enjoy watching SpongeBob and playing video and card games.
If someone ever tells me I'm too old for amusement parks and roller coasters, they'll feel my wrath.
Honestly, screw anyone who says I'm "too old" to do things like trick-or-treating.
As a kid, you mess up and it's no big deal. But as an adult, everything falls on your shoulders.
The Newcomers
That is definitely true. As you get older, life isn't as fun as it was when you were a little kid. Whenever it snows and school gets canceled (I'm a teenager), I feel really stressed, irritable, sad, and depressed. When I was younger, I would get so excited whenever it snowed, but I no longer feel that way. I live in Lynnwood, WA, and I'm just glad that the snow isn't as bad as in some states, like Chicago.
When I was little, my life was fun. I could do whatever I wanted, like playing with toys, playing in the snow, and missing school due to the weather (I didn't like school back then). But now, whenever there's a snow day, I realize how boring it is.
Think of what Abe Simpson said when you reach an older age: "With it."
I drink lots of water during and after drinking alcohol.
I usually don't drink much booze, so I've never had a hangover. I prefer non-alcoholic drinks anyway.
