So Jared and I were having a discussion the other day. Basically we are scared shitless of the fact that we are actual adults now, with real jobs and real responsibilities. I'm getting an intern, for God's sake. Unpaid. I'm told that this is the best kind. Jared edits videos of famous actresses (I should point out that someone is actually paying him to do this, he's not just because he is a creep). But being an adult presents some problems.

Basically as a kid, one sees adulthood as a discrete condition, an increase in status with clearly definable perks. Adults can drive, have jobs, and know the answer to all problems. And they certainly don't read comic books. Becoming an adult was supposed to be like leveling up, but it's not. The fact is, growing up doesn't change who you are. Our friends at Craked have realized this as well. The truth is more difficult. As it turns out, when you grow up, you don't become a different person. In a lot of cases, you still like and do many of the same things, and you make life up as you go. I think the secret is coming to terms with the fact that everyone else is too.
