So, now that we’ve hit our 30s, we’re definitely in control of our lives, right? Um, Right.
As a 30-something who ate nine tater tots and the crust off a pizza for dinner last night, I’m gonna just go ahead and say that “adulting” is not exactly my strong suit. Especially when it comes to what I eat. (Whatever; wine is a vegetable).
Anyway, here are 20 tweets about the struggle that is adulting. Yes, I found most of these when I should have been doing more productive, adult-like things that did not involve Twitter. It’s scary how much I relate to these.
1. I actually do have one of these. His name is "Murray."
Welcome to adulthood. You have a favorite spatula now.

2. All I can say on this is "yep."
*gets paid*

*pays bills*
*has to live off of $20 for the rest of the two weeks*#adulting
3. Tupperware drought, and tupperware bounty: the circle of life.
One day, you look in your cabinets and there's no tupperware. The next day, somehow, tupperware is so plentiful, it falls out when you open the cabinet door. And you realize you have too much tupperware and you don't know where they came from.

Adulthood: a poem
4. The struggle is all too real.
#adulting struggle: considering calling in sick to read in bed all day. But you need money to support your book habit.

5. I don't even have kids, and this sounds like a dinner I'd make.
my family all worked 8 hrs today and now we’re eating dinosaur chicken nuggets #adulting

6. This one's for when you just can't.
I’m gonna need the world to shut off for like two..three months. Thanks. #adulting

7. If my 14-year-old self had any idea this was all there was to it ...
Adulthood is basically just deciding whether you pay your student loans or health insurance each month. Living the dream my friends, living the dream.#adulting #studentloans #millennialproblems pic.twitter.com/923W0pkAs5

8. I have definitely done this ...
adulting is using the money you got on your bday to renew your car registration :)

9. This, too. Most nights.
My favorite thing about adulting is spending a bunch of money on groceries but still getting take out for every meal

10. As an adult, sometimes it's the little things.

11. Actually, this sounds like my ideal date night. #reasonsimsingle
“Adulting” is really just paying bills and being comfortable going out to eat alone 🤷🏾♂️

15. Adulting rule to live by: never regret tacos.
whenever i get low on money i always start thinking really irrationally like what if i hadn’t spent that $10 at taco bell back in 2013

16. It's funny (by which I mean sad) because it's true.
Being an adult is basically just lemon water and disappointment.

17. I admit I haven't reached this level.
real #adulting is having enough magic erasures after a party to clean your shoe marks from wall twerking.

18. Sometimes the bar for "highlight of my week" is low.
Doing 4 loads of laundry and not losing a sock has been the highlight of my week. #adulting

19. It's OK, though; I'm pretty sure coffee is also a vegetable.
I planned on making beef Wellington with cheesy mashed potatoes stuffed back in their skins along with a special homemade cream spinach.

Instead, I ate 2 sleeves of Oreos dunked into my coffee.#adulting like a boss
20. And finally...
