Let’s face it, adulting is hard. No one tells you how to balance a budget, cook a decent meal, or deal with your landlord’s weird requests. Suddenly, you’re expected to know how to handle life’s challenges, all while pretending you’re not secretly freaking out. But fear not, my friends. I present to you, my guide to “adulting”.
Step 1: Google Everything
Who needs to know how to do things on their own when you have Google? Don’t know how to file your taxes? Google it. Unsure how to fix your leaky faucet? Google it. Need to know how to dress appropriately for a job interview? You guessed it, Google it. The internet has all the answers, so take advantage of it.
Step 2: Fake It ‘Til You Make It
Confidence is key when it comes to adulting. Even if you have no clue what you’re doing, pretend like you do. Speak with conviction, nod along, and use buzzwords like “ROI” or “synergy.” Your boss will definitely think you know what you’re talking about, even if you have no idea.
Step 3: Practice Self-Care
Adulting can be stressful, and it’s important to take care of your mental and physical health. Treat yourself to a bubble bath or buy that matching set of wine glasses you’ve been eyeing. It’s okay to indulge in some self-care every once in a while, so don’t feel guilty about it.
Step 4: Embrace Failure
No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes. It’s okay to fail, and it’s even better to embrace those failures. Learn from them, laugh at them, and move on. At least you’ll have a good story to tell later on.
And there you have it, my guide to “adulting” with. Just remember, no one really knows what they’re doing, so you’re in good company. Google, fake it ’til you make it, practice self-care, and embrace failure. You got this.

There’s no “us.” There’s no “them.” There’s only the comfort of pretending there is. People need enemies the way lungs need air. Conflict gives meaning to the meaningless.Without opposition, identity collapses. So we build one. We draw lines on maps, then forget who drew them. Every tribe begins as fear, then calls itself culture.We love belonging because it saves us from thinking.It’s easier to chant … - We Turned Horniness Into An Industry
Let me explain this slowly, because if you blinked for five minutes in June, you might’ve missed the moment humanity officially gave up pretending it had standards. An actress, Sydney Sweeney, famous, attractive, very online-adjacent, partnered with a men’s grooming company called Dr Squatch to release a limited-edition bar of soap. Five thousand bars. Eight dollars each. And the marketing hook, the thing that made …
