As kids, many of us wanted to rush through the process of growing up and launch right into adulthood. To us, it was a magical land filled with no curfews, eating whatever we wanted, no parents telling us what to do, and not having to go to school. However, when we finally reached adulthood, we realized that the reality of it was nothing like the enchanted fantasy we dreamed up as kids.
Here are 11 things you thought would be fun as an adult but are actually just exhausting:
1. Staying out late
2. Working from home
3. Hosting dinner parties
4. Traveling frequently
5. Buying a house
6. Cooking meals
7. Owning a pet
8. Dating
9. Weddings
10. Having responsibility
