If adulting stresses you out, you aren't alone. From the everyday tasks to the big decisions we have to make as grownups, life can be pretty stressful. But it's all about how you approach it, right? You can either face things head-on and deal with the sh*t life throws at you, or you can pretend you're still a teenager and ignore all your responsibilities. I find the latter approach to be the easiest short-term solution, but it tends to be the most stressful long-term. This is, of course, ironic because adulting is all about planning ahead. I guess I have a lot of growing up to do. Anyway, these memes about adulting will hit you hard, if you too, are having trouble admitting you're now a responsible grownup.

Who knew being an adult would be this challenging?! When I was a kid, I thought I would automatically get my dream job, and of course, my dream salary.

Functioning as a proper adult is way harder than we thought. Things we never believed would become issues in our wildest dreams have now taken over our lives. Like, who knew that bills keep adding up until you pay them? Who knew showering for an hour straight would become a luxury that we can't exactly afford? Who knew you had to go to your job on a daily basis or risk not getting paid? Definitely not me. The people of Twitter rant about many things 24/7, and unsurprisingly, having to 'adult' till the end of time is one of them. Scroll down for this week's batch of funniest 'adulting' tweets. Because when the going gets tough, at least we have Twitter.
There's a lot of perks of aging. You have more experience, more weighted advice, more money (hopefully), and you probably just give less of a f**k in general about the little things. Having adult problems means not caring so much about the things that used to paralyze you when you were young and naive, like being caught wearing the same pair of jeans twice in the same week or having your crush find out you have a picture of him on your wall that you kiss every night before bed... Unless we keep doing that stuff when we're 40. Let me know... for research.
These hilarious Tweets truly prepare you for what your 40's may look like.
I wonder who started high school reunions. Is the purpose of them just so people can show off how successful they are? Is it a chance for the kids to show that they've glowed up? What happens if you didn't? It could be really fun I suppose. I bet there are a lot of throwback songs and reignited love triangles. Who doesn't love a little drama in a school gym?

Learning the ABC is a significant milestone for children because it is the first step towards learning how to read and write. Most children use alphabet books with corresponding pictures or information to help them memorize the letters; A is for apple, B is for ball. The pictures help capture the imagination of children and also learn about the world. But who says education needs to stop at adulthood? Illustrator Toby Leigh has created ABC for Adults — "twisting the meaning of innocent, childlike words into hysterically funny yet terrifying adult themes." According to his website, Toby made the parody version of "the classic ABC books from yesteryear" because, "Unfortunately, we all grew up and became paranoid, cynical adults filled with fear and hatred. But don't despair, this new book will help guide you and your family through this difficult phase of your existence." Check out a sample of the hilarious works below, where H is for heart attack, and Z is for zippers… in bondage suits.
When we're a kid, we assume that adults know exactly what they're doing. We think our parents have it all figured out and that our teachers know everything; we can't wait to grow up so we can have the independence to do whatever we want. But as we grow up, we realize how difficult life gets, and how little we know. These tweets about adulting hit pretty hard, and sum it all up; as one Twitter user so aptly stated, "Adulting is soup, and I am a fork."

When we're kids, we assume adults have it all figured out. But now that we're, we know that not to be the case. At all! Adulting is hard, and accomplishing even the most basic of tasks, is something to celebrate. We give little kids encouragement when they complete something objectively simple, and as adults, we should give ourselves equal credit.
Winks For Days is a company that creates adult merit badges for the simple everyday tasks that we should be doing but might struggle with. This is exactly the encouragement I'm talking about, and I'm obsessed! What do you think of them?
Being an adult isn't easy. Kids assume we've got it all figured out, but truthfully, we have no idea what we're doing most of the time. From struggling to tie our shoelaces to not knowing how much spaghetti you actually need for one portion, here are some of the basic life skills that some adults never mastered, who aren't ashamed to admit it.
