Is it fun being an adult?

[RangerWickett]

I'm 23. I just skipped work today at my grocery store job (which would've paid me $52 for 8 and a half hours of my life) so I could instead cook my own lunch and write D&D rules, for which I might make as much money, if I'm lucky.

I skipped work, though, more because my girlfriend broke up with me night before last, and I'm afraid I'd start crying at work. I'm 23. I dunno. I think it's pretty fun.

It's like being Spiderman: With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.

At least, that's the way I see it. I'm legally an adult, though not old enough to buy alcohol (another 5 months, and I will), but I'm still in University, so it's great setting your own schedule, though I will be sharing a house next year, along with expenses...

well not if you live a Logan's Run life. then it is 31. iirc.

Yeah, but that's just as well. Who wants to live in a mall anyway?... OK, probably a lot of people.

Being an adult is great. Having money is awesome. Making decisions about my own life is fantastic. Having a rewarding job is, well, rewarding. Getting old isn't as great, but it's not too bad so far.

I don't know that I'd say it is more fun, but it's certainly worth it - no more crazy people making decision for me. At least, not on a personal level.

Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure...my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands...down on my knees

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror...but what's left inside

I have a question to ask you. Is it fun being an adult?

Although I am legally an adult, I won't consider myself to be one until I am self-sufficient and have moved out of my parents' house. I prefer college over high school for many reasons, but I kind of miss knowing everybody.

I've never been happier.

I've never been happy. :\

I think being an adult is fun, but I've had fun at all stages. Sure there are lots of responsibilities along the way, but there is still time for fun too.

Lets see......Booze, Beer, Wine, gaming and having a good time......yep, it's definetely fun!

I have no hair on my head, too much on my body and a beer gut..... Adulthood certainly doesn't look as good.

Heck ya. I'm at the point in my life where I am making enough money that I can buy pretty much any toy I want.

I couldn't do that when I was a kid.
