    Becoming an adult doesn't happen overnight you know, you don't have to do it all at once. Try not to feel overwhelmed because it will all fall into place in good time, most people move back home while they get themselves sorted out with a job and a life. I am 3 years older than you and many of my friends still live it home. The real world is exciting, scary too, but just take it one step at a time and you will be fine. The real world teaches you a lot and I'm not sure if you ever really feel like an adult. It took me 2 years to get the adult job I wanted and that was mostly because I tried and errored until i figured out what it was i wanted to do. It is quite overwhelming when the university bubble bursts, the sheltered path of education has reached its end and the real world of work and responsibility looms ahead, but i promise you that you will figure it out. People leave uni and they survive, they thrive, the become responsible adults - it is a gradual process. Serious relationships all in good time!

    I feel for you my friend. Nobody really does want to grow up... when you're young you want to do 'adult' stuff, but just some of them... when you get out of school.... you realize how life really is, then you start missing school...



    Nobody is really ready to grow up, it's something you learn 'on the go'... and nobody can stop time either... that i know of. If you feel like talking i'm here and quite bored :P
