Being an adult is hard. We know that by now and to revel in the fact that everyone sucks at it every now and again helps to get us through the day – if only a little.
The following Twitter users shared some of their views on ‘adulting’ that are absolutely spot on – and just funny AF. If you’ve been balancing work, taxes, meetings and basic ‘adulting’ in a perpetually tired and sleep-deprived state, then you are not alone:
