    1. I used to hate dentist but now I'm struggling to save enough money for a dentist appointment. :blob_teary:
    2. Getting excited over new kitchen appliance.
    3. Worried about paying the bill.
    4. People telling me to find a partner.
    5. Meet the kind of people that I thought only "exist" in fiction.
    6. Start worrying about my lifestyle and eating habits.

    Then I realized, ahhhh I'm getting old. :blobcozy:

    When you realize you're now part of society, working 12- 16 hours per day and most of your thoughts are concerning the future instead of the moment.

    ":
    A recent survey asked respondents to identify the age at which they believed they became adults. Those who considered themselves adults pointed to specific behaviors as evidence of their status. Having a budget and buying a house topped the list as being marks of “adulting.” Other adult activities ranged from cooking dinner every weeknight and scheduling one’s own medical appointments, to the more humorous ability to choose to eat snacks for dinner or being excited to stay at home on a Saturday evening instead of going out.
    "

    The rest of the quote is religious but I think this excerpt works

    I met that kind of jealous and petty person who took credit for the work they didn't do...
    That was an eye opening.

    Driving is really scary for some reason :blobsob:

    I guess the most common definition of adult would be earning money, paying ur own bill and have a little more freedom.

    I have been through the medical appointments phase. That was so nerve wracking but exciting.
