If you've passed the age of 25, then you've almost certainly hit that inevitable quarter-life crisis where you start feeling like an old person. Suddenly you have to be in bed by 10 pm every night or else you'll feel like utter sh*t every morning, and going out seems like the most mundane chore in the world. It's rough, but unfortunately it's just a part of life, so own it!

Can we all just agree that adulting is bullsht? Like, none of us asked to be born, and then they expect us to go out in the world and pay an arm and a leg just to stay alive? Sounds like utter bullsht if you ask us. 

But on that lighthearted note, here are 19 tidbits to remind you that we're all going through that daily struggle together!

In a way, we all sort of choose when we enter adulthood - and how. You can either choose to party and bullsh*t all the way through your twenties and thirties, or you can settle for a more reclusive, introverted path. These memes cover the latter.

Not enough people acknowledge the struggles that come with graduating college and transitioning into the so-called real world. In college you look forward to parties every weekend, while in the adulting world, you can't wait to jump into bed the minute you get home from work on Friday nights. And then there's bills to pay and the pressure to settle down with your soul mate, among many, many other things. Needless to say, it's a lot to juggle!

Sometimes fully grown adults can really amaze us with their stupid levels of pettiness. Like, seriously, this is some middle school-level grade-A pettiness right here. In this particular "case" (if you can even call it that), Lawrence Police in Kansas responded to two adult children having the world's pettiest standoff in a private parking lot. Enjoy!

It can be a bit of a trip thinking about how you've changed as a person from your high school years to now. It's probably safe to say that a lot of us went from partying every weekend as teenagers to passing out by 9pm on Saturday nights without the help of alcohol. It's all just a part of the inevitable cycle of life!

These people are tweeting about the cringey ways they've grown (or back-pedaled) since their teen years, under the hashtag "High School Me Vs Adult Me."

Adulting is hard for anyone in their twenties who's just starting to figure out this roller coaster we call life. Hell, even if you're well past your twenties, adulting still makes no goddamn sense half the time. Let these semi-serious tips help you to not look like a complete fool when you have guests come over to your humble abode.
