Step 4: Embracing the Futility of Adulting

At this point, you've likely realized that adulting is a myth. A cruel joke played on you by your parents and the world.

It's time to face the facts: you're not getting any younger, your student loans are still looming, and your social media followers don't actually care about your avocado toast.

But fear not! For in the face of this crushing existential dread, we offer you:
