Why being a grown up blows

1.  Everything is freaking expensive.  You realize when you choose to move out (or mom and dad cut you off) that you will have to pay rent and the electric company and what not, but there is so much more.  You have no idea how friggen expensive food is.  And toothpaste, and cleaning supplies.  It is never ending.  Oh that sweet iPhone your parents used to pay for....wait until you get your first phone bill.  Don't even get me started on cars, there is always something they need.  There is nothing worse than spending your hard earned money on things you don't even want, like dish soap and tampons.  Seriously, stay home as long as you possibly can.

2.  Cleaning, your mom probably won't do it for you after you move out, and even a small apartment requires a good scrub down more than you will expect it to. You have to remember to do laundry too and it sucks.

3.  Remembering to pay bills.  You have to actually remember to take care of things like bills and appointments, or your shit will get shut off. And that is all on top of work....I need a drink.

4.  Speaking of, when you get old you get hungover when you drink.  Like real hungover....and that is not a good state to be in at work if you care about your career in the least.

5.  I almost forgot, you have to worry about a career.  Gone are the days of scooping ice cream and not giving a shit, now you need to try and pad your resume and "network".

6.  When you get a real job you often have to work above and beyond regular hours, it sucks...they never made me join committees or go to meetings back when I worked at Dairy Queen.

7.  Your friends all start to get married, have kids, and buy houses....they remind you daily how old you are when you see their pregnant pics on Facebook.  It's gross.

8.  You can no longer eat whatever you want and stay thin (well some people can but you will grow to hate them).  I ate nothing but chips and dip and vodka in college and I was a twig.  Now I have to juice and eat a salad everyday to feel healthy.

9.  There are no summer vacations.  This is the hardest reality to face.  Being stuck at work in the summer never gets easier.  Never.

10.  If you drink every night like you do in college, people judge you....plus see reason 4.
