20 Signs you're becoming an adult

After spending over twenty years trying to avoid it, it’s happening. No matter how hard we try to stop it, we can’t. We’re no longer children, teenagers or students, that’s right, we’re becoming the inevitable, we’re turning into adults. The betrayal of our youth has begun, we despise school children and teenagers and the bitterness towards university students is slowly beginning to fade. In fact, being an adult isn’t so bad, and some may say they even enjoy it, right? 

1. You’ve left home – bye, bye bank of mum and dad

2. You pay rent or have an actual mortgage (gulp)

3. You get excited buying household items such as an iron

4. You actually use an iron

5. You head straight to the home section in Next and don’t even look at the clothes anymore

6. Your food shops now contain vegetables

7. Your food shops no longer contain microwave meals

8. Your fridge contains more food than alcohol

9. You go for casual cocktails and dinner instead of clubbing; in fact, do people even say clubbing anymore? God, you’re old

10. You save money – Your overdraft is now a distant memory

11. Your slow cooker has become your new best friend
