So over the past few months (while I haven't been blogging), I took two summer classes and then made some Big Life Decisions. As I have traversed the rocky and terrifying path of Becoming an Adult, I have come up with this top ten list to help you decide if you too may be on this slippery slope to Grown-up-dom.
You may be an Adult if:
10. Your vacuum breaks so you borrow a friends before having people over for a dinner party.
9. You are someone's Emergency Contact for the hospital and are actually called upon to perform those duties.
8. You and your spouse put together a budget and set aside money for "date nights" and "car expenses".
7. You participate in a community improvement activity and secretly use it to case the neighborhood for long term livability.
6. You sit in class and wonder about the children around you and the wild mess of their college lifestyle and end up discussing your respective spouses with your professor.
5. You wake up every morning to tend your garden and have a cup of tea while reading the news.
4. You and you spouse show up early to a party, help clean up and set up, deliver your gift, and leave by 10:30 PM so you can get home, "before it gets to late".
3. You come to terms with the end of college friendships and find you enjoy having friends with which you are, "in the same place".
2. You start asking God more about the world around you and how you should fit into it, and request the answers ASAP because said world is closing in like a tiger.
1. You read through this list, realized you sound like a ridiculous old person, and then realized that you have absolutely no regrets.
If you have any thoughts get them out there quick, the BBC News Hour is about to be on NPR and I don't want to miss it.
