Today I realized I was an adult. NO--not because I just turned 22, but because I had a bad day. And not just a regular bad day. I had a bad ADULT day. How so you ask? Let me explain. Everything that happened on my bad day today were things that would have never constituted a bad day just 6 months ago. For example, I got upset over a work assignment, my internet isn't working at home and they can't send someone to fix it for two weeks, my landlord cashed my rent check on the 25th of the month, another co-worker did something wrong and tried to blame it on me. Now no, these aren't big things I know but the pattern is that they are all very adult. I couldn't believe it, I was having a bad adult day, a day that was ruined because of work, bills, and housework. I'm only 22...somebody tell me this isn't happening. I never thought i'd miss the bad days that were bad because the chapter was in trouble, or my boyfriend was late to pick me up, or my Professor gave a pop quiz...but those seem like walks in the park compared to the day I had today.
