What I wished to know when I was a child - "Adulting"

2019年11月13日

When I was a child, I wanted to know when I would be old enough to do things as an adult! And now that I am an adult, I sometimes wish the opposite. I sometimes wish I were a kid again:-)
Things seem so easy and fun when you are a child.

"Adulting", a new phrase coined by Millennials is frequently used nowadays.
It's used as a gerund, (ing form) as in "Adulting is hard" or "I’m not very good at adulting."

According to Merriam Webster:
"To adult is to behave like an adult, to do the things that adults regularly have to do. This includes things like having a job and living independently, sure, but also such mundanities as taking clothes to the dry cleaners (and remembering to pick them up), making and keeping dental appointments, getting your car registered, doing yardwork."

That reminds me, I need to go to the dentist...!

What did you wish to know when you were a child?
