Adulthood is overrated!

That said, congrats on the job!

Be on time.

Give respect to get respect.

Ask questions and do your best.

Always be learning.

Seek out additional responsibilities.

A few pieces of advice from your friendly neighborhood SwiftDog!

Adult? I often say that the most adult thing is to never Forget the child inside you and let him out now and then. If he causes comment so what. Make sure never to forget that inner child (We all have him but not all adults dare to let him out, to my mind it is because they have never grown up and are scared of what others might think of him) and let him have a good time. It is fun to be childish now and then so go ahead and be just that.

Congrats, niro !

I'm 49 and still learning to adult. Sometimes I just want an adultier adult to handle things *sigh*
Aha, I keep wondering when the time in life will be when I stop looking for adultier adults to lead the way and realize that I'm the adulty adult. When I was in my 20s, I though maybe the 30s? But so far, nope. I'm starting to think that may never happen, lol.

Tomorrow I start my new job, Yay! :biggrin-new:

It's my first real Job I guess not part time or an Internship. I guess I am an adult now.
I read a lot of Buzzfeed articles I know some of you read those as well from time to time?

What's your thoughts on beeing an adult? Do you still trying to figure out how to behave and do stuff. Any tipps on beeing an organized adult?

Looking forward to your posts.
I have yet to experience this dramatic adulthood change. Its like you trade in school drama for work drama. And homework is paying bills. You have all the freedom that you craved as a kid But to much responsibility to do the things you swear youd do as a kid. Like for instance. I have yet to spend all my money on candy, video games, the coolest bike or whatever else I want. I guess the change happens so slowly you dont even notice. All the adults are just great actor's. We just pretend like we know what's what and fake it till we make it. I'm Sure there are adults out there that are real adults like you see in the movies. I have yet to encounter them.

Yeah, but you can go on motorbike rides when your on holidays. People get older physically but they retain their childhood outlook. Some do anyhow. It depends if you live in a fishbowl.

I would say Adult hood is highly overrated. I just can't adult today is sometimes a motto. However, best piece of advice. Just smile~ not manically...but be friendly. Shower on a daily basis and put deodorant on. (Also on daily basis).

niro- I'm the dinosaur and my age says I am an elder adult. Still haven't mastered it. Best advice- be yourself and be true to yourself always. For work- be on time. Make very effort to complete your tasks and do not be afraid to ask questions. Lean from any mistakes you may make and stay positive. Much love and green lights!
You are one of the nicest, most encouraging and diplomatic members that I have observed:saturn:!
