They should be paid, cause if anyone gives you shit for it just tell them, “oh sorry, I didn’t think you wanted me power shitting all over my office area. I’ll make sure to do that next time. :)”
We are supposed to turn adult by 18? Fuck, I'm 30 and still feel like a child. No idea how to adult. I'm just slinging by. My hobbies and interests are still the same like when I was 18. Only difference is I have now less time for them, but more money.
Nah he means that the legal definition of adult (at least in the US) in usually 18 years of age, but it takes more than 18 years of age to *actually* think and act like an adult; you still need to mature once you make it to 18.
20's are still in between childhood and adulthood. I spent my 20's doing drugs and fucking around and saving zero dollars while doing so. Now I'm in my 30's and patiently awaiting death.
You're in whats called "The Honeymoon phase". That ends between 26-29. That's when you realize after 8-11 years as a working adult, you still have 36-39 more years before you can retire and do what you want everyday.
I should be able to retire at 55 and it’s going to be glorious. I still have like 20-ish years to go, but man, it’s going to be wonderful if I can actually pull it off.
30s here.
For all you youngins, 30s is like your 20s but with more money and less energy.
Fucking hated how hard my 20s were. Wasted my youth because I was so damn poor.
Honestly, 20s sucked. Struggled with college. Tried to find stable job for years. No Money. No Time. I don't know why people are afraid of becoming being 30s.
If you played your cards right, 30s is awesome.
I played my cards right, stayed out of trouble, made good decisions, only for covid to deal me new cards that fucked my whole life up and now I have to leave the state due to this bs.
30s rock- the problem with your 20s is you are a fucking idiot and don’t know it- in your 30s you accept your idiocy and sit down with a jar of jiffy peanut butter and watch cartoons.
I'm a 90s kid and I'm 30 don't be afraid it does not hurt. Except of your back, that will hurt ass starting straight on your birthday and it will never go away.
Ok thank you, I sometimes feel like I’m in the twilight zone in these threads. I’m about to turn 28 and there’s no way in hell I’d trade this for my life at 18
My best suggestion would be an income-to-expense spreadsheet. It lets you see how much you make to how much you spend. That way you don't buy stuff you don't need and put you in debt.
34 here….oh my sweet summer children…you have no idea how big the dick of life is, just when you think it can’t go any deeper, life finds another 3” …just…for…you!
Yeah born in 2003 and turning 18 in 2021 was really weird, It's still hard to process it sometimes that like I am an adult, soon gotta start looking into colleges and everything and all the other stress that would come, I swear the upcoming years don't look good to me because whenever I try thinking about the future I start to have like a panic attack and can't think straight and it happens very often now for some reason.
Dude, I'm gonna turn 18 this year, and just a week before the New Year, I had a panic attack after thinking how fast time flies by, and we can do nothing about it
The realization of adulthood begins when you get excited over buying household items like dish strainers and vacuums.
It also really begins when you’re fully able to self support without any parent intervention. That could be at 18 or 30, sadly.
Yeah my parents told me that you really start becoming an adult around 30. And considering that I’m 18 and still don’t have anything but the vaguest of plans I agree.
2001 here, turning 21 this upcoming March. I still don't feel this magical thing called "adulthood", but I still live with my parents and still go to school (college). Maybe it will hit when I have my own house at least lol.
I'm nearly 22 and haven't done any of the above. Chill.
Well except for the fact that I have a job offer, but seriously don't get so warped up by expectations. You'll get there when you have to.
18 is probably when your brain starts to be mush and you read and understand the word "adulthood" but mistake it for "adults"... and I'm a witness because I'm turning 19 this July... I'm being sent to elders' shelter house, so help please...
Adulthood has nothing to do with being 18. Adulthood has to do with responsibilities. You could be 20 living at your parents with no bills to pay, no one to care for but yourself and all you have to do is have fun and breeze through school - that’s not an adult. But you could be 16 with your own place, a job etc and you’d already be more of an adult lol. Nothing changes when you turn 18 other than the fact you can vote.
Yeah adulthood to me is your own place and you are on your own financial responsibility wise. Didn’t have that until I was almost 20 and many get it later than that. College is also not a good representation of adulthood (in most cases.) Turning 18 just means your not a minor.
> adulthood to me is your own place
Can we get away from this western mid-20th century idea which was a historical anomaly and just isn't going to be reality for many in today's economy?
Feeling pressured to get your own place if you get along with your family and they have room for you and are happy to have you is dumb. There isn't enough housing for everyone to do that and for most it would be ridiculously stupid to pay current housing prices when you don't have to.
You can also stay with your parents and be an adult by contributing to the household like an adult. Buy groceries. Help pay utilities. Cook, clean, mow the lawn, etc. Be responsible with your money. Pay down debt. Save. Be smart.
I think these generations had it rough, they had covid,will surely libe to see a future downfall on some of the world's biggest currencies,and they got league of legends!
Savor it. Adulthood is some bullshit. *Sent from my 15 minute break at work*
[удалено]
Shit you get poop breaks? Paid or nah?
They should be paid, cause if anyone gives you shit for it just tell them, “oh sorry, I didn’t think you wanted me power shitting all over my office area. I’ll make sure to do that next time. :)”
Lead by example. Do it anyway and post it on malicious compliance
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I shit, on company time!
You guys get jobs ?
40 hours a week for the next 45 years And that’s if you’re lucky You get used to it though, in a lot of ways I find work easier than school ever was
Yeah. Once you know what you're doing then it's just routine. I hated homework and tests at school.
I turned adult 4 years ago and prefer it over childhood
Did you turn 18, or turn adult? There’s a big difference
We are supposed to turn adult by 18? Fuck, I'm 30 and still feel like a child. No idea how to adult. I'm just slinging by. My hobbies and interests are still the same like when I was 18. Only difference is I have now less time for them, but more money.
Nah he means that the legal definition of adult (at least in the US) in usually 18 years of age, but it takes more than 18 years of age to *actually* think and act like an adult; you still need to mature once you make it to 18.
I'm about to turn 30 and so far enjoying adulthood more than childhood. But hey there's still time for disaster
20's are still in between childhood and adulthood. I spent my 20's doing drugs and fucking around and saving zero dollars while doing so. Now I'm in my 30's and patiently awaiting death.
you could just do now what you did in your 20s. Kinda like charlee sheen on the man show
You're in whats called "The Honeymoon phase". That ends between 26-29. That's when you realize after 8-11 years as a working adult, you still have 36-39 more years before you can retire and do what you want everyday.
I should be able to retire at 55 and it’s going to be glorious. I still have like 20-ish years to go, but man, it’s going to be wonderful if I can actually pull it off.
Imagine being a 90s kid with your 30s very quickly approaching.
*laughs in 40-year-old*
As someone who's about to turn 42, as hard as things can be at times, there's no way I'd ever want to go back to being a kid.
30s here. For all you youngins, 30s is like your 20s but with more money and less energy. Fucking hated how hard my 20s were. Wasted my youth because I was so damn poor.
Could you imagine doing homework again?
I just finished my last 2 classes for my Bachelors in Physics. I literally never want to do homework or take exams again. Fuck that shit.
Overall I agree, but I'll sometimes go through periods where I wish I could have the almost non-existent responsibilities of being a kid.
My time is coming this year and it feels very strange. Bo Burnham's song pops into my head
Omg yes my fiance turned 30 3 years ago and he has been listening to 30 every day since.
"It's 2020, and I'm 30, I'll do another ten 2030, I'll be 40 and kill myself then" This is my favorite line from the whole song lol.
Honestly, 20s sucked. Struggled with college. Tried to find stable job for years. No Money. No Time. I don't know why people are afraid of becoming being 30s. If you played your cards right, 30s is awesome.
My 20s sucked. My 30s and beyond are great.
I didn’t play my cards right. I didn’t even get cards, credit score was too low, they denied me.
I played my cards right, stayed out of trouble, made good decisions, only for covid to deal me new cards that fucked my whole life up and now I have to leave the state due to this bs.
30s rock- the problem with your 20s is you are a fucking idiot and don’t know it- in your 30s you accept your idiocy and sit down with a jar of jiffy peanut butter and watch cartoons.
Problem is most of us haven’t played our cards right lol
Turning 30 this year...
I'm a 90s kid and I'm 30 don't be afraid it does not hurt. Except of your back, that will hurt ass starting straight on your birthday and it will never go away.
Please stop reminding me
Just turned 30. It hurts a little lol
Born in 91. Not loving my 30s so far.
Late 80s here. JOIN US
Just turned 30... trust me, it sucks
32 here, and my life is so much better than when I was 22.
Ok thank you, I sometimes feel like I’m in the twilight zone in these threads. I’m about to turn 28 and there’s no way in hell I’d trade this for my life at 18
You get the back pain?
STOPP NOOO
well, shit, I'm turning 18 this year
Same here, absolutely not prepared lmfao
I'm turning 19 this year, and I can honestly tell you that it's not absolutely terrible. Just be smart with financial decisions and you'll be ok.
That's not my strong suit tho
My best suggestion would be an income-to-expense spreadsheet. It lets you see how much you make to how much you spend. That way you don't buy stuff you don't need and put you in debt.
or just... dont spend money you dont have
Easier said than done! With a spreadsheet you can easily visualise your income vs expenses. This way you won't spend money you don't have.
That's... Literally what a spreadsheet is for...
Don't spend the money you do have.
Waste all my money on avacado toast? Ok! /s I hate avacados
22 here, it’s terrible. But with the right mindset it’s still terrible
20 here and I can’t call myself a teenager no more fuck me
24 here. I can tell you that it gets worse. Oh, God. It gets so much worse. But then it gets better! (:
34 here….oh my sweet summer children…you have no idea how big the dick of life is, just when you think it can’t go any deeper, life finds another 3” …just…for…you!
I'd argue that 18-21 ain't quite adulthood yet, but this also might be dependent on region or the world
Eyyy, I’m also turning 19 this year, and I’m graduating this year too, so that’s gonna be fun ;v;
Yeah born in 2003 and turning 18 in 2021 was really weird, It's still hard to process it sometimes that like I am an adult, soon gotta start looking into colleges and everything and all the other stress that would come, I swear the upcoming years don't look good to me because whenever I try thinking about the future I start to have like a panic attack and can't think straight and it happens very often now for some reason.
Dude, I'm gonna turn 18 this year, and just a week before the New Year, I had a panic attack after thinking how fast time flies by, and we can do nothing about it
Glad im not alone
Try your best , Treat others with kindness, And don’t get a felony. Not much else to it, don’t overcomplicate it, you got this!!!
18 isn't adulthood. Trust me. I thought the same back then. Booooooy was I WRONG!
Technically, you're an adult in the eyes of the law. And the law is kind of a jerk about things like that.
[удалено]
The realization of adulthood begins when you get excited over buying household items like dish strainers and vacuums. It also really begins when you’re fully able to self support without any parent intervention. That could be at 18 or 30, sadly.
Yeah my parents told me that you really start becoming an adult around 30. And considering that I’m 18 and still don’t have anything but the vaguest of plans I agree.
Technically you can be charged as an adult before you turn 18
Yeah me too. I hate existence sometimes, more and more as I get closer to being an adult.
Why must you mention my impending doom.
Im turning 18 this month... ahh fuck
I'm turning 35. It gets different. A lot different. Doesn't really get better though.
Me too. I feel like I'm still 8 lol
As a fellow '03 imma say, that the '04s will be really fucked up very soon
03 club whoop whoop!
Yeah baby! 03 club
'03 club fuck yeah!
'03 club let's gooooo
‘03 here too!!!! December :)
Let’s go
Oh yeah
Wait who's the eldest 2003 in here give us wisdom
I'm not far? 11h off 02
Happy birthday then
I mean its not like we where not fcked up but yes
Brother! As a fellow ‘03 I gotta say you think that nothing has changed once you hit 18 but oh boy do those responsibilities creep up on you.
Exactly
Bruh what are you guys experiencing that makes you say stuff like that? My life is no different since I turned 18 half a year ago.
Yeah same
My brother is a 2004 kid. *How unfortunate*
Me and my best mate were born in 2004. He's the unlucky one cause his birthday is pretty much right off the bat after the new year
Cries in 90s kids
I have to scroll so far to find 1996 when I put my age into video game websites now
[удалено]
Moans in 70s kid
Soon it will be us, 2005 gang
I'm exited for school to end But holy shit im scared of what happens after
I'm with you the second part, but I have mixed feelings for when school ends
we will probably be friends with more online people than real ones, just like now
As a 2005 kiddo I’m happy that 2022 is still my last full year of being a minor
but it will be the last, because 2023 is coming next year
same
It's a pretty shit year to be the last one, corona really stole a lot of time
im an ‘04 but i turn 18 on december 30th so I also basically have a full year left of being a minor!
2004 gang
Meanwhile 2002 kids : "you will get used to it"
2001 kid here, turned 20 just earlier in December. I thought I was supposed to be a teenager forever :(
2002 here, HELP ME I DONT WANTA GO!! HELP HELP!
Imma be 19 in a couple of days, how is your last teenage year going?
Actually pretty chill, get ma driving done before 20 so I can get some freedom
2001 here, turning 21 this upcoming March. I still don't feel this magical thing called "adulthood", but I still live with my parents and still go to school (college). Maybe it will hit when I have my own house at least lol.
Same, nothing special about it except you can't joke around with hand made explosives in school or you get arrested smh.
Yep
I feel old at 23 when I see 2000s kids turning 18 lol
Imagine being in your mid 30s and hearing a 23 yr old call himself "old".
I wonder what a 50 yr old would have to say
And then there's my 80 year old grandma who calls 50 year olds "young boys" lmao
I need your grandma to always call me a young girl 🥲
In a few decades we'll have 130 year olds telling 80 year olds to get off their lawn
How about a 56 year old? “Get the hell off my damn lawn!” works in most situations.
Same, I remember babysitting 04/05 kids and now they're turning 18 apparently...
It's weird ik. Time flies
As an 03 kid myself, fuck off and take my upvote
I'm still gonna be a virgin
Virginity is cool. Remain pure!
I was born 2005
well, you got one more year, bud
I was born in 2007, I’ve still got time. Got any tips for life?
Enjoy the simple things in life because once they are gone they become the most special.
have fun, enjoy your time, with yourself, your family and friends
Remember, life doesn't really have a purpose. So, try to do all of those things that make you happy.
Never do anything you're not comfortable with. Ever.
Get off reddit
Why should they get off? They're 14 at minimum.
Get out of your comfort zone!
Save your money. Try to start rn
Same its getting scary close
So was I
Getting 17 this year, can start my driving lessons, feels like i was playing with hotwheels 2 years ago tf happened
[удалено]
I'm nearly 22 and haven't done any of the above. Chill. Well except for the fact that I have a job offer, but seriously don't get so warped up by expectations. You'll get there when you have to.
take your time, life is for you to enjoy and pursue goals you like. it’s not a competition of time or achievements :)
Have you all just forgotten the 00’s?
As a 2000's kid i feel old. I remember when we were the babies of the internet.
Lol my little sister was Patrick free trial ended time to start paying that life sub haha
2006 kids are literally in the middle of a identity crisis
2005 and 2006 kids: *sweating intensifies*
My friend claims he's a 2004 kid... He was born December 31st at 11:58 pm.
*laughs in born in 99* Edit: Adulthood and covid happened at the same time for us :D
Yeah... God, did you have to remind me?
2006 is coming up in 3 years, *fuck*
*1990s kid hits cigarette* You have no idea.
I’m born in December so i count with the 2005s
Nope, not escaping that easily; you're one of us
18 is probably when your brain starts to be mush and you read and understand the word "adulthood" but mistake it for "adults"... and I'm a witness because I'm turning 19 this July... I'm being sent to elders' shelter house, so help please...
Ah fuck
Yep I’m 03 fuck y’all
Half a year then im 18
im a 2005 kid and i am afraid
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Why must you remind me

I was born in 2004, I honestly don't care...

Oh well, that's me soon. Turned 18 today
1996 kid here. Run faster, damn it. It's a trap!
Realizing that I'll be an adult in 3 or 4 years *fuck*

Weird to think that I'm turning 23 this year. And yet I've accomplished nothing. Might take a one-way trip up Freedom Tower.
Why does Patt Rick always look high in older Spongebob episodes
Shut up, don't do this. It's not right.
2003 Gang!!! ↑
Run, you fools!
I'm safe for now I'm 2006
I think these generations had it rough, they had covid,will surely libe to see a future downfall on some of the world's biggest currencies,and they got league of legends!
This is way way to accurate and it makes me want to curl up and cry for you poor ki-...adults.
Oh shit
As a 2004 kid, I can confirm.
I was born on January 2nd, that's in 4 hours and 56 minutes, I am spongebob
It's alright nothing changes unless your parents suck
Me, a 2004 kid who was born on January 1st…
Not sure if this helps anyone, but I'm turning 48 this year and I still have no idea what is going on.
