43 Signs You're At The Peak Of Adulthood Before Even Turning 30

Obsessing over staying young forever is childish. No judgment, but why not grow up?

If you thought you reached adulthood somewhere between curfew-less campus life and graduation, think again. Life post-degree matures you in ways you don't recognize until you start asking cleaning ladies the difference between microfibers and Swiffers.

That's when you also realize you're #adulting harder than AARP.

At this point, you've done every conceivable adult thing short of a retirement plan. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Newsflash: You're not washed up.

Be careful, your adult is showing!

Here are the 43 signs you've reached peak adulthood in your 20s. You're probably more excited about growing old than you thought.

1. You make your bed in the morning.

Be honest, you never did this before the age of 24.

2. You willfully look up new elaborate recipes.

Freshly steamed mussels, anyone?

3. You send iCal invites for meetings and casual lunch dates.

If it's not scheduled, it didn't happen.

4. You make teeth whitening appointments.

You also floss regularly.

5. You give advice to underage drinkers.

You've officially become the wise elder.

6. Your idea of Sunday Funday is a trip to Home Depot to finish your DIY floating shelves.

You'll be a Pinfluencer in no time.

Seriously, you go all Mommy Dearest about water rings on your new adult dining room table.

F*ck unequal pay.

You're basically a nurse.

10. You have enough Xanax and Amoxicillin to make a hospital jealous.

You can pretty much cure everything from the flu to a UTI.

11. You finally bought a damn Brita (and replacement filters).

The perfect complement to your Keurig.

12. You check your 401k account balance.

Come on. The fact that you even have a 401k is probably the most mature thing you've done since doing your own taxes.

14. You pay your bills with autopay.

What once terrified you now gives you peace of mind.

15. You look at your bank account with pride after a night out.

It's not overdrawn.

Hey, no one said being independent would be easy.

17. You actually get a fresh manicure before your nails chip.

Mature nails are never undone, ladies.

Seriously, you can't remember.

Your trust your own thought process way more these days.

Why waste your prime years tweeting?

You won't be caught dead in a tween-sized baby tee.

You have a grown-up apartment now.
