Since all the obvious things have been said, how about this. All the awesome things you were promised that adulthood would be? Adulthood is only like that between 18 and 30 (or even only at university). Staying up as long as you want to, waking up when you want to, drinking, partying, flirting, getting laid (with different partners), being at peak physical health without doing much for it, having time to study something deeply, taking a stab at changing the world and having the illusion that you will live to see your utopia, travelling the world, disconnect from everything, or go right into the middle of the action... That life that you couldn't wait to grow up into is over quicker than you think. I don't want to sound too depressing. Life after 30 has it's own benefits. You finally really feel like an adult, and can say fuck it, I'm buying that grill, that car, because I earn enough and it's my decision now. I'm participating in grown-up politics and business without feeling like a pretender. And having a family is incredibly awesome and rewarding. But you're never going spontaneously get wasted with your friends on a Wednesday night tequila party again. It has its good and bad sides...
