Adulting tips and tricks
I have been successfully navigating the exotic adulting sea and I am quite disappointed in finding out that there are certain things nobody ever mentions. In this article, I will be extremely honest and, hopefully, show you new horizons and ways to sail through adulting thanks to my unique discoveries.
The first droplet of wisdom: you don’t need to buy expensive alcohol.
Of course, you can and are most welcome to, but more often than not it will taste just like the cheap bottles you’ve been buying for the past ten years.
Yes, I had a bad experience trying to be a sophisticate adulting woman purchasing a not-the-cheapest wine and feeling like Beyonce' prancing around with a fancy bottle of wine.
I regret associating that foul taste to the feeling. Also, it was a $13 wine but it doesn’t matter.
You have the right to feel like Beyonce' even drinking the cheapest wine and when it’s on sale!
Moving on.
Something that made me think, in the past, was the arguable decision of brushing teeth in the shower.
I’ve never personally done it because I am not looking forward spitting minty residues all over the place and because I am not a psycho. Plus, is that an attempt to be stealthier? I could wake up a town just by stretching.
Hello, cracking joints!
So, agreed that brushing teeth while showering is useless, here’s something that you could do while showering: crying.
If you cry in the shower, not only you don’t need to wash your face after, but the sobs are covered by running water, and the red eyes are easily explained with an unexpected drop of shampoo!
Granted one can be strong and independent and still cry, sometimes one doesn’t exactly know the reasons of said crying and some lone tears can cause less drama than unanswered questions.
Be responsible: cry in the shower for maximum adulting!
Another thing you can do to feel like an adult is to buy flowers, but only for others!
Buying flowers for your own aesthetic pleasure implies you have a vase and you know for a fact that said vase fits into your microscopic sink.
Also, flowers look good in one Instagram photo, then you turn away for a second and bam! They’re dead. And you don’t know when garden recycling comes by.
The miracle of life.
A friend had a baby? Why give them a present that will last forever, something useful, or something they can experience with loved ones, when you can get them something temporary and impersonal, like dying nature.
