Being an adult is hard. There's no handbook that tells you what to do or the necessary know-how. Sometimes, you'll have to google your way through it. Hopefully this handy list will help you out.
1. Find a hairstyle that works for you.
Hair is important, and as a real adult person, you can't constantly be worried about it. Find a chic, yet functional style that says "Yes, I would like to file my tax return."
2. Stop hanging out with people you can't stand.
3. And learn how to hang out alone.
4. Learn to appreciate awesome your mom is.
You've underestimated what a great friend you have... until now!

Treat yo self! Whether you're just granting yourself an extra hour of sleep or getting yourself a new sweater, find ways, big and small, to treat yourself like the royalty you are.
6. Get your finances in order.
Open a line of credit, sign up to pay your bills online, and know what's going on with any car, property, or student loans. Even take a class on financial literacy, it'll give you that smart, special, organized feeling.
7. Learn how to grocery shop.
Plan your meals,don't buy more than will fit in your pantry, figure out what how much you use and how quickly you go through it, and scout out the sales. And never, ever shop hungry.
