I don’t get why people go on and on about “adulting” like it’s this glorious achievement. Adulting is just navigating a series of ridiculous traps disguised as responsibilities. One moment you're signing up for insurance like you're buying a lottery ticket, and the next you’re ferociously Googling “how to do taxes” at 2 AM while questioning every life choice that led you to this exact moment.
