Being an adult can be hard some days, with the responsibilities it can entail. Yet, when people on Reddit were asked to share what’s the coolest part about being an adult, please had some great answers.
It turns out adulting can be a lot of fun. Here’s why:
1. I Do What I Want
Kids often get in trouble for saying “no.” Adults? There’s not much anyone can do about it.
One user comments, “Learning that when I’m asked to do something unreasonable, “No” really is a full sentence. What a glorious day that was.”
2. Money for Hobbies
Want to take on a new hobby? No problem.
“I wanted to go back into skateboarding, spent a week really wishing i could have a skateboard….. To then realize “wait a minute, I’m a grown a** man! I have a salary! I can buy a Skateboard whenever I want !” !! So… long story short, I have 4 skateboards now!”
3. Eat All the Candy
One Redditor points out a funny double edged sword.
“Pro: I can eat an entire bag of cadbury mini eggs and no one can stop me. Con: I ate an entire bag of cadbury mini eggs and no one stopped me so now I’m going to lay down.”
4. Buy a Cake Just Because
As an adult, you don’t need to rationalize to anyone your decisions. “I can go to the store on Tuesday and buy a sheet cake simply because I want to.”
5. Living Life Your Own Way
At some point, many adults realize that they don’t have to please everyone. “Realizing that there are so many things that you really don’t need to give an F about, just as you’re running out of F’s to give.”
6. No Homework
There’s nothing better than no homework and no studying for tests. “No more panic about forgetting to study for exams or not doing a term paper assignment.”
7. Bedtime
No one dictates a bedtime; some adults will stay up late while others love the extra sleep. “Going to bed at 8pm because I want to.”
8. No Sneaking Around
One Redditor recalls all the things he had to do sneakily as a teenager that he can just do now. No more sneaking to drink alcohol, have sex, buy junk food, or have a pet.
9. Playing Around with a Buzz
Some users pointed out that it’s fun to do kid activities while drinking. Recommended activities included sledding, building forts, and eating snacks.
10. Endless Sleepovers
Remember the fun of sleepovers as a kid? They never happened enough and always ended in trouble when no one actually slept.
One woman writes, “I get to have an every night sleepover with my favorite person, and no one yells at us when we stay up late giggling. (My husband).”
