You don’t know when it happened, but the innocent days of childhood and your wild teen years are behind you. You’ve got a car, thousands of dollars in debt, vegetable stock in your shopping cart, and very little to talk about except having those things. For all you smug adults out there, here are some quotes that totally define adulthood, if that’s literally your only defining characteristic at this point.
“Being an adult is like folding a fitted sheet. No one knows how.”
Wow, this quote perfectly sums up a secret that all true adults know: we have no idea what’s going on most of the time. This quote is so totally you if no longer being an adolescent is like, your whole deal.
“Coffee. Because adulting is hard.”
Every adult who hardcore identifies with that designation knows that coffee is the elixir of maturity and references that fact a lot. If being a few years older than you used to be is one of your favorite things about yourself, then this quote is for you.
“My favorite childhood memory is not paying bills.”
Bills! That’s a thing that adults do! This hilarious quote perfectly describes your life if the fiscal responsibilities that accompany maturation is something you really want people to associate with your personality.
“Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the street and then getting hit by an airplane.”
This quote about the unexpectedness of adult problems is something you probably should get tattooed on yourself. That is, if not having Benjamin Buttoned or Peter Panned is something you are proud of.
“I have decided that I no longer want to be an adult. If anyone needs me, I will be in my blanket fort … coloring.”
Sometimes even people who wear their advancing years like a badge of honor yearn for the simplicity and playfulness of childhood. This quote perfectly captures the feeling you feel after a long day if no longer being a kid is your whole thing.
“So it turns out that being an adult is mostly Googling how to do stuff.”
Adults. We really don’t have anything figured out. If the fact that you are grown with responsibilities but not an omnipotent God is a point of pride for you, then this quote completely sums up your life.
Hopefully, these quotes about adulthood have comforted you with the knowledge that you’re not the only aggressively self-identifying adult out there. Adulting sure is hard, considering all the taxes you have to pay and memes about adulthood you have to post on Facebook!
