I Tried to Be an Adult Today… It Went Horribly Wrong

 

You know those days when you wake up feeling responsible, ready to conquer adulthood? Yeah, me neither. 

But today, I *tried*… and here’s how it went down.  

Step 1: Wake Up Early Like a Responsible Human 

 
The plan: Wake up at 6 AM, do some yoga, and make a healthy breakfast.

  
The reality: Woke up at 9:47 AM

 because my alarm clock betrayed me (or I hit snooze 17 times).  

Step 2: Make a Nutritious Breakfast

I wanted to start the day with an Instagram-worthy smoothie bowl.

 Instead, I burned my toast, spilled coffee on my only clean shirt, and ended up eating leftover pizza. Balanced diet? Nailed it. 

Step 3: Be Productive at Work 

I sat down to get things done. But then I got distracted by:  

✔ Checking emails (a.k.a. deleting spam)  

✔ Watching *one* YouTube video (which turned into five)  

✔ Taking a “quick” TikTok break (that lasted an hour)  

Productivity level: "Negative 10." 

Step 4: Do Laundry Like a Real Adult

Put clothes in the washer. 

Forgot them for three hours.

Rewashed them. 

Forgot them again. 

Gave up and decided I didn’t need clean clothes anyway.  

Step 5: Cook a Real Dinner

Tried to cook pasta. 

Dropped half of it in the sink. 

Almost set off the smoke alarm. 

Ended up ordering takeout because "self-care is important."

Step 6: Go to Bed Early for Once

In bed by 10 PM… but spent three hours scrolling memes and overthinking every awkward thing I’ve ever said in my life.

  

Conclusion?

  
Adulthood is hard. I deserve a trophy just for trying. 

Maybe tomorrow I’ll have my life together… or at least set fewer alarms.
