> What does it even mean to be an adult? I think the easiest to define mark of adulthood come when you're attempting to provide for yourself (and perhaps others). For many, college is essentially four years of an all-expenses paid vacation. This is hardly a time of maturity. It's fun as anything for sure, but at this point most people are consuming from the world and contributing little back. Kids who have to work (for more than just spending money) or who have to play a large part in taking care of their siblings seem to grow up faster. This is admittedly a somewhat boring answer to the question, if anyone thinks they have a better version of what adulthood is, I'm interested in hearing it.
