Hi Bored Panda, I'm Caitlin Quijano. You may remember me from my previous post where I shared comics that sum up my life as an adult.
It's been awhile, so I thought it was time for an update.

So true and sad, this may be the worst part of being an adult, there is always more work.

There was a recession in the 70’s so no it was. Not that easy. You had to know someone on the inside, just like today.

It's like they are asking the question you wants to go to moon, but you should have experience of going to moon before.

One time in 4th grade we had this huge test the next day, and later that next day the teachers forgot and i was relieved and then this one kid I knew just had to remind the teacher and to sum it up almost choked that kid because I didn't study and you're not supposed to remind teachers about that.

My sweet young niece asked me when my summer break starts. I told her regular working adults don't have summer break. I think I just crushed her world.

Even if i did have all the breaks like in school i would still have to do the cleaning, laundry and whatnot, adulthood is never getting a real break;)

The secret to being happy is being grateful for the things you have (ex: clean water) and realizing that others wish for the things you have
Rikke Sørensen 8 years ago
The secret to happiness is always assuming the worst of a situation. If it turns out better, you're happy, if not you were right
Rhân 8 years ago
I think, thats only right in theory. Praxis is, if you always think negative, you're negative. But thats my opinion

Honestly - this is not even a bad thing - but if you just stop building up your expectations of how OTHER PEOPLE are going to react to what you do, how you act etc... it makes life a lot easier. Young me would want everyone to be happy and like her all the time and would DWELL FOR DAYS over someone being mad at her whether she deserved it or not. Old me is like "Dang, I f****d up. I will wait for you to be not mad." *2 weeks later* "Still mad huh... well that's on you now."
Rambling Rapscallion 8 years ago
True to some extent. Being grateful for what you have will make you happier. Though it's probably closer to human nature to complain about what we don't have.

When I was in kindergarten we had a hot choco party ( she put ice cubes so we wouldn't burn our tongues) we all had the same mugs but our teacher had coffee of course but it was the same mug as everyone elses. So as we were waiting for her to give us our mugs she accidentally gave me COFFEE. So later that day I was the most hyper kid and broke my leg and she found out at the end of the day :|
Daria B 8 years ago
I didn't like coffee when I was young, but I liked the smell of it. Then, as I entered adulthood, my tastes in food broadened, and I started liking more food, including coffee. I started drinking it when I started getting toi buzy for afternoon naps, in the hope it would keep me awake. I was disappointed... I happen to be one of those who just can't fight the urge when my eyelids get too heavy....

Oh my God! This has happened to me before! It was at my friends new rental house, and I clogged the toilet; and then someone went in after me and they knew it was me because they saw me step out of the toilet. They just laughed. It was humiliating!

Been there before. Went to a pub gig with my mothers friend, and now ex husband. They had this huge argument over god knows what, and he drove off with her car. They were meant to take me home. We ended up taking the tram home. It was awkward to watch; and she was very drunk.

I have a diabetes, and I always feel this way. Snack is my favorite "meal" of the day. I had some ice cream the other night (there actually wasn't much sugar in it.

In my case: 1. Excitement - Yay! I love karaoke!; 2. Anxiety - Wait... What if they all wanna sing just ballads?!; 3. Just going with it - Whatever... They may sing funeral music as much as they like, me, I'm gonna fulfil my task (even if I end up being the only clown amongst the "oh, so wonderful voices"); 4. Conclusion - Wow! We should do it more often / Okay, never gonna go to karaoke with THIS crew again...

For me it usually goes: Stage one- Go to karaoke Stage two- Turn around, go home while saying "you know what I don't like social interaction, Netflix sounds better or maybe YouTube, yep, YouTube, pretend this never happened, let's leave, awesome, in the car, lets go." ....But then I'll probably go and enjoy myself anyway, especially if I don't go with a big group of people.

If you work with something advanced or specialized though it can be really hard to explain what you do to ppl outside of the business.
