I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’m in college now, technically an adult, doing adult things (at least on paper), but honestly… I still kind of feel like a kid just going through school.
It’s not that I’m completely irresponsible or anything, but I don’t feel like I’ve become an adult yet. I look around at people who seem to have it all together — paying bills, planning careers, managing life — and I feel like I’m still figuring out how to exist. Sometimes I wonder if I missed some sort of internal switch that flips when you “become” an adult.
Maybe I’m just anxious about the whole thing. Or maybe adulthood isn’t as clear-cut as I expected it to be. Either way, it’s a weird, in-between feeling I’m trying to understand.
Has anyone else gone through this? And if you have how did you come out of it?
