I turned 18! I’m an adult! 🎉🎉🎉 How does it feel? Do you feel as excited and confused as I do? Don’t worry! Today, I’m going to share my experiences and tips after becoming an adult, hoping to help those of you who are equally confused!
First of all, coming-of-age ceremony? Forget it! The most real feeling is: responsibility suddenly explodes!😱
- Money! Money! Money! I used to spend money lavishly, but now I know how hard it is to earn money! Credit card bills, living expenses, and various expenses instantly woke me up! I used to think my allowance wasn’t enough, now I think my salary isn’t enough! This feeling is amazing! 😂 Learning to keep accounts and plan expenses is really, really, really important! I highly recommend a bookkeeping app (name omitted), it’s amazing!
- Changes in interpersonal relationships I’m no longer a carefree student, I have to face more complex interpersonal relationships – workplace, friends, family, each requires careful handling. I used to think I had many friends, but now I find that there are few who can truly communicate with me. Learning to filter and protect yourself is really very important!
- Challenges of independence I used to be carefree, but now I have to take care of myself, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, these trivial things made me realize the hardship of independence, but also gave me a sense of accomplishment! After learning to be independent, I feel like a little adult! 💪
- Balancing study and work After adulthood, I have to balance study and work, so time management is particularly important. I have tried various time management methods, and finally found one that suits me: the Pomodoro Technique! This method is really great! Highly recommended! 🍅🍅🍅
- Choices and confusion After adulthood, there are more and more choices, college majors, career directions, life planning, etc., all kinds of choices make me feel confused. However, I found that confusion is also an inevitable part of growth. Instead of fearing confusion, it’s better to bravely try, experience, and explore to find your own direction! 🚀
- Improved self-awareness After becoming an adult, I started paying more attention to my inner self, thinking about what I want and who I am. This is actually a long process, requiring continuous reflection and summary to continuously improve myself and become a better self.
After becoming an adult, my biggest feeling is: freedom and responsibility coexist! 🎉 I can do what I want to do, but at the same time I have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. This is an inevitable part of growth, and a kind of life experience.
Finally, I want to say to all the newly adults: bravely embrace adulthood, face the challenges, and pursue your dreams! The road ahead is still long, but as long as we keep working hard, we will surely live a wonderful life!💪
