Adulthood, lesson learnt!

# Things nobody prepared me for as an adult 🧵

**The weird stuff they don't tell you about being a grown-up:**

🏠 **You'll spend an unreasonable amount of mental energy deciding what to eat for dinner. Every. Single. Day.**

- And somehow "there's nothing to eat" when your fridge is full

🛒 **Going to the grocery store becomes a strategic mission**

- You'll walk the same aisles 3 times and still forget the one thing you actually needed

💰 **Having money doesn't mean you feel rich enough to buy the "good" paper towels**

- You'll still buy the cheap toilet paper and immediately regret it

🏥 **You have to make your own doctor appointments**

- And they'll ask you about your medical history like you're supposed to remember what vaccines you got in 3rd grade

🧺 **Laundry is never actually "done"**

- It's just temporarily caught up

🎂 **Your birthday stops feeling special and starts feeling like paperwork**

- "I need to update my age on 47 different accounts"

🚗 **Car maintenance is expensive and confusing**

- "Your flux capacitor needs to be rotated" - "Okay how much?" - "$800"

🏠 **You'll get genuinely excited about household purchases**

- A new vacuum cleaner will literally make your week

📱 **You'll become your parents**

- "Why is this app different? I liked it the old way"

🛏️ **Going to bed early becomes rebellious**

- 9 PM bedtime? Revolutionary.

💸 **Everything costs more than you think it should**

- A trip to Target for "one thing" = $127.43

🥗 **Vegetables expire faster than your motivation to eat them**

- The cycle of buying spinach with good intentions
