this thing called adulthood

that very title is a blog label that i use quite often, but i have come to the conclusion that adulthood is a strange feeling that comes and goes and at the oddest of times. for example:

did i feel like an adult when i moved out of my parents house?
no, i just felt weird

did i feel like an adult when i went to my first college class
no, i just felt overwhelmed

did i feel like an adult when i moved to salt lake
no, i just felt further away from home

did i feel like an adult when i graduated from college
no, i just felt confused

did i feel like an adult when i bought a new car
no, i just felt poor

did i feel like an adult when i got a real life job
no, i just felt excited

did i feel like an adult when i got a costco membership
yes.

did i feel like an adult when i bought a couch last week
yes.

what is this thing called adulthood? i find it odd and confusing. so i am going to go watch some boy meets world now...yes i own the first 4 seasons. judge me if you must.

    Oh my gosh! I felt the same way - It was last fall though - we bought a couch, then a few weeks later a standing freezer - then two weeks ago we got a washer - and last week a portable dishwasher. Holy smokes! So weird! Kind of awesome, though :)
