23 Signs You Are an Adult

IF ONLY there were a manual for becoming an adult. It’s so hard because there is no definitive age when this mentally clicks. It is an awkward time in your life when you just pretend like you know what you’re doing, while in reality you’re still struggling to decide if you want to even get out of bed.
