When you're young, all you want to do is grow up. But then you hit your twenties and you begin to realize that growing up isn't as great as it once seemed. Because growing up doesn't just mean being taller, being able to drive, and being able to buy your own alcohol AND consume it. It also means having responsibilities, having to answer awkward questions about your career prospects and family plans, and, well, basically acting all grown up and mature.

If you're a twentysomething struggling to cope with adulthood then, as you can see from these tweets compiled by Bored Panda, you're not the only one.

If you life an life of exploration, this ought to never really change. And it is not a bad thing I guess. In video games, you typically start to gain experience (and level up...) *after* the tutorial...

During the tutorial as well. Depends on the genre. RPG games are usually designed with the tutorial to be integrated within the introduction.

yea... I have absolutely no idea how this world works... it might differ from country to country where their education level are different. But here, school do not thought anything about surviving the society - it's all up to personal exploration; and for people who are a bit "slow" like I am, I am struggling badly to understand this world...

    Maybe its because I'm high, but now no spellings look right. The word Restraunt (?) has become quite confusing (not the word I wanted to use, but suddenly I found the same issue with it)....

    Nah. For me it's "you know you're getting old when teenagers look like cute little sparrows jumping around in groups and being cute" - simplified version --> when teenagers look just as cute as a little kid to you (provided of course, you have no kids yet).
