Kindly Shut the Hell Up About “Adulting”
By Danielle Tullo
A few nights ago, I got home from work and sat on my bed, scrolling through Twitter. I didn’t get far ∈ my timeline before I saw a tweet from a twentysomething who said she was “adulting” because she cooked herself dinner. Ugh.
Scroll through the #adulting hashtag on Twitter at any given moment, and you’re likely to see Millennials sharing anecdotes like: “I grabbed drinks with friends but only talked about apartment leases #adulting”, “I have clean laundry!!! #adulting”, and, “I made dinner that wasn’t hummus and baby carrots #adulting”.
Urban Dictionary defines “adulting” as “to do grown up things and hold responsibilities such as a 9-5 job, a mortgage/rent, a car payment, or anything else that makes one think of grown ups”. In the past year, the term “adulting” has increased ∈ usage by 700 percent on Twitter.
“Adulting” is a terrible fake word (that you will not find ∈ the actual dictionary, for the record) that everyone should stop using. “Adulting” ⟹ that being an adult is not a necessary part of growing up, but rather a life choice you’re hesitant to fully buy into. It’s a singularly Millennial – especially female, at that – immaturity that reduces being a grown-up to a hobby.
Many of us have been shielded from the full responsibilities of adulthood. Unlike our parents’ generation, nearly a third of us are not forced to pay rent or provide for ourselves immediately after college. Many of us don’t need to worry about going to the grocery store alone because our parents’ fridge is already stocked. We don’t have to think about paying the cable bill because our parents have it covered. Growing up may feel optional because, for many of us, it is.

“These are the reasons why our generation has this attitude toward growing up”.
