What's something that's made you feel like a grown-up? (midwest.social)

A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what's going on, which is something I definitely identify with.

But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It's usually small, and kind of silly, but it's fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.

For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn't stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.

How about you?

Cleaned up my place and now its staying that way! Nobody can barge in and out and trash the place like it used to be, constantly cleaning up after someone else who has zero respect for your space and keeping a calm,clean environment

That includes myself, in case anyone thinks I'm solely projecting lol
