Top Comment: This show is fantastic. No idea why people here are shitting in it so hard. I'm guessing having friends is foreign to a lot of redditors.
Being an adult isn't that hard
Main Post:
I see so many posts online where young adults keep talking about how difficult it is to "be an adult". I'm also getting increasingly-annoyed with the word "adulting" being used unironically by young adults who are complaining about how hard it is; it's honestly pathetic. There's nothing inherently "hard" about being an adult: it's all about your mindset. A decent job with solid time-management and personal budgeting skills will go a long way.
As I said prior, it's about mindset: if you're willing to take-on new responsibilities as you get older, then you're going to be fine. If you sit back and complain about it, you're only going to make yourself more miserable. At the end of the day, nothing about being an adult by itself is that horrible.
DISCLAIMER: I understand that everybody is in different stages in life. Some people are single parents, some are struggling to find a job and a house, some are having relationship problems, etc. I get that. I myself am in the process of losing my house and am searching desperately for another career job (my current workplace is closing down), so I fully empathize with the struggles. But that said, "being an adult" by itself is not hard.

Struggling with the realities of being an adult and working a 9-5
Main Post:
For context, I’m 25 and have been working full time since I graduated college. While on paper everything is going well (I have a stable job, plan to start grad school soon, have a loving and supportive partner, a social life, roof over my head, etc.), I’ve continued having a hard time accepting the routine and lack of free time I have day to day and overall lack of vacation time. On top of this, I’ve been struggling with homesickness as my parents live in another state.
I’m wondering if anyone has had this experience, has any advice for how to get through this, or suggestions for job/life changes that might make this all a little more bearable. I’ve just been having a pretty rough go of it lately and no one I know seems to be experiencing this. Thanks!
Top Comment: Being an adult can certainly suck. Sometimes you have to do things you really don't want to do to be comfortable later. You have to decide what your long term goal or vision is for yourself. Ideally, as you begin to get experience under your belt and on your resume you open doors to much more flexible working conditions. Network and job search constantly.
How do you get use to being an adult??
Main Post:
It’s so exhausting. Surviving in this world everyday is exhausting. I just feel so ... hopeless in a way. Like I’m supposed to wake up, work just to live and come home to a shitty room in a house that doesn’t feel like home. I just don’t get how I’m supposed to do this for the rest of my life.

No one else is coming to save you, you have to save yourself. Take it one step at a time. Break down complex challenges to smaller steps. Most importantly, be kind and patient with yourself.
