adulting

When I was a kid I thought that by the time I was thirty I'd have it all figured out. I'd be married, own a house, probably wrangle a few pets and maybe even have a kid on the way. Now? That all seems laughable. Being an adult isn't the magically stable state that we once thought it would be. Instead, it's made up of the struggles and silliness depicted in these memes. At least we're still young at heart?

Congratulations are in order. You've made it through the torture of Monday - and you're still trucking along through the absolute horror-show that is 2020. As a reward (and to lift your spirits) we've put together this mixed bag of amusing memes. Just sit back, flex those scrolling muscles, and enjoy the humor. 

It takes a savvy comic mind to pack a quality joke into Twitter's 280 character limit. Not everyone's got the chops. Their one-liners fall flat. Their tweets smack of try-hard desperation. Not these tweetsmiths. These writers and shillers of amusing observations have managed to find that harmonious sweet spot of humor and brevity. 

We can never get enough of the '90s memes, which is probably because many of us are about to hit 30 and we're longing for the days when we didn't have to worry about spending a fortune on rent or getting grey hairs. The '90s were just a simpler time where we could play with our Tamagotchis and not have a care in the world. And hey, while we're at it, have even more '90s memes!

Happy Tuesday! For those of us who were lucky to have Labor Day off (to do absolutely nothing) today is basically like Monday. Which means we're all in need of some comedic TLC. And we hope these memes do the trick.

Is any job worth waking up at 6:00 am for? We think not. And some days you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and adulting seems like a near-impossible task. As a general life rule, morning people are not to be trusted. Seriously, y'all are crazy. If you want more sleepy content, we've got you covered.

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!

There are a lot of funny people in this world. But there's a special place in our hearts for the individuals who manage to pack chuckle-worthy wit into a 280 character tweet. This gallery of tweets is filled with loads of that admiration-worthy humor, and is perfect for any bored soul with a desire for instantly gratifying comedy. 

TGIF, freaks! We've made it to the the end of the week. While not much will be different during the weekend, we've put together this big batch of memes to help you decompress. You deserve it!

Remember being a kid and eagerly awaiting the exciting freedom of adulthood? Being able to make choices about your home, be in a relationship (or not) and work a job you love? That reality, for most of us, has been pretty freaking unfulfilling. We're starting to realize that most aspects of being an adult are actually pretty boring. But fortunately, as these memes so skillfully display, we're definitely not alone in these feelings. 

Times are tough right now, and people are finding themselves having to cope with being responsible adults. The whole "adulting" thing felt a little easier when we could go out, blow off steam, or just order a meal from Seamless. Thanks to coronavirus, these privileges are no longer available to us. We're having to cook meals for ourselves, do our own laundry, and find ways to self-soothe. And while we're capable, let's face it: it ain't fun. And these memes and posts pretty much sum that feeling up. 

Twitter account @30andTired captures our sentiments about turning 30 pretty perfectly. We're supposed to have our lives figured out by now, right? Here's a secret: no one has their life figured out because we're all just going about making wild guesses about everything and at the end of the day, nothing really matters.

Now have some additional tweets about adulting that'll (maybe) make you feel less alone!

Anyone out of college will understand how difficult it is to make new friends as an adult in the real world. Unless you're going out every single weekend and putting yourself out there, you may have to just settle for conversing with your coworkers at lunch to satisfy that lonely feeling. Either way, we wish you luck.

Here are fifteen memes for people who have actually managed to snag a best friend.

Is it just me, or are attention spans getting shorter? I can barely make it through an episode of Law and Order: SVU without zoning into the abyss of my smartphone. It takes me hours to do 30 minutes of cleaning because I get distracted and end up trying on my weirdly large selection of wigs. Fortunately, social media is more than able to appeal to this ADD nature, and Twitter definitely shines in this area. The character limit results in short and sweet nuggets of 280 character gold. Which we think pretty much anyone will have the capability to consume these
