50 Hilarious Memes Highlighting The Realities Of Adulting

Adulthood is truly a turbulent experience that we all can't escape from!

Isn't it strange that many countries consider people over the age of 18 to be mature adults? It’s perfectly understandable that they are adults in the sense that they know what’s right and what’s wrong, and they are permitted to vote, purchase liquor, or even get a home loan. But does that really make one a sensible adult?

Adult life is so much more than that, and it’s a stage that many people are already tired of, but there’s no going back. Obviously, some people view the transition to adulthood as an assortment of markers, such as finding a new job, creating some distance from their parents, getting married to their partner forever, and having children.

However, if we look at the majority of history, with the exception of the 1950s and '60s, individuals did not become adults in any sort of unexpected manner. In fact, many took a long time to embrace the idea or even avoided it altogether, so much so that one could argue that nobody is actually an adult.

To illustrate just how turbulent adult life can be, we have gathered 50 of the most famous adult memes out there that might make you realize a thing or two. So keep scrolling and stay entertained.
