Twenty-five Signs You Have Grown Up

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “breakup.”

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog “Science Diet” instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

Well, 24 is just standard student practise! (Here in the UK where age is 18) Am glad to see none of the others applying to me, being 19 and all.

Some of these fit me (about 10 of them). But I'm still kind of a kid. A 32-yr-old kid.

Oh boy, you had me cracking up!! Once I was done laughing I realized how sad, that's me. THE HORROR!!!!!. I'll be turning 27 in two weeks and I can't believe that I fall in more than half of the list.
