25 Life Lessons You Only Learn When You’re A “Real” Adult

Adulting is hard. Anyone who says otherwise is either full of it or in complete denial. No matter how ready you might feel, there’s nothing that quite prepares you for the nonstop rollercoaster of responsibility and exhaustion. 

It isn’t until you become a “real” adult that you learn just how difficult it is to balance careers, relationships, social lives, health, diet, fitness, etc. all while maintaining your sanity and getting some sleep. Fortunately, you also begin to realize that no one knows what the hell they’re doing and everyone is just as clueless as you. 

These are just a few lessons people learned as they struggled through the crazy world of adulthood and tbh, we can totally relate. 

1. Everything is expensive.
