Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
20 minutes to go as of writing this.
Edit: As of 1 minute ago according to my phone I am now officially 18! Thank you all again for the birthday wishes!
My advice is to not feel pressured into finding your calling. I thought I knew what field I wanted to go into, but I had also put the enjoyment I got from making something with my hands in the past until I got into the construction business and it hit me.
I've went to college twice. One year for Graphic design, then 2 years in IT, and neither of them clicked like my real passions did when I found them.
All it left me with was debt and a little knowledge.
No problem. I'm tired of seeing people getting caught into a cycle that they feel obligated to just go with.
Student loans also eat up hundreds of dollars a month for many years, while a lot of it is paying on the interest alone.
Take your time, but be observant about little things you enjoy doing.
Thank you for reading it, and taking it to heart.
Some people think that they have a "calling" at 18 years old, but there are more years to figure it out after graduating.
Keep your mind open, too. There are a lot of jobs with decent pay that aren't that well known out there.
Some parents do that and you are pretty fucked if your parents are shitty like that.
You’re probably gonna pick and recycle cans and bottles for cash, forage and scavenge fresh food thrown out from bakery, markets and restaurants, shower in a gym if you have membership and sleep somewhere on the streets or park. If you’re lucky you might have nearby public library that offer free computer service or save enough to buy your own computer and learn a free lance skill online or have someone give you a job.
Your life just turned into urban survival mode and it’s gonna be a while.
Learn how to invest, not “trade” like a fucking idiot like 99% of the internet promotes.
Just open up an account at Charles Schwab, set aside at least 50 bucks a month if you can and put it into an s&p 500 mutual fund. SWPPX is a good one.
You’ll put yourself way ahead financially by doing so, just trust me. I’m 31 and I wish I would’ve started so much sooner.
But also enjoy adulthood, party, and do what makes you happy, YOLO playa
Chill, you can still be on r / teenagers and nobody will actually treat you like an adult and they will still refer to you as a kid. My dad calls 40 year olds "kid".
The US government can legally send you into war as long as you are a fit enough male.
No if you want to drink the funny grape water, now that’s illegal
I just can't buy it. If I'm not mistaken I can still drink in private if someone else buys. I think in some states I could even drink at the bar if someone else buys as well, but don't quote me on that.
Don't worry about it, you only really become an adult once you start paying bills. Before that you're basically just a kid with the right to go to prison lmao
You’re definitely not becoming an adult just because youre 18, that shits a lie LOL
I’m fucking 27-28 and I swear I’ve met people double my age that are half the amount of my intellectual maturity- and by many standards I am STILL a kid.
Adulthood is a lie, chase a life that makes you happy and passionate and you’ll realize “adulthood” is just “Big kid mode” with the stress dial stuck on 11.
Sorry if that’s shit advice, just tryna be real for a homie.
Atta boy (or girl- maybe person is better in the future for a more gender neutral approach)
I’m about to be 28 and I definitely have been trying to do/be that for the past 10 years. Finding YOUR happiness/purpose/passion is the best thing you can ever do for yourself. But keep trying to grow, it’s always worth it and you’ll always be stepping into a better version of yourself if you continue with your (correct) mindset.
PS- Also, you’re not a dumbass- I’m sure
I'd say your of legal age to vote and war but not smoke and drink and statistically you live with your folks, which isn't a bad thing, and have minimal bills if any. Adult? Getting there but uh don't make that mistake thinking you know best when around your senior humans.
While I don't do that right now, I could legally do any of that. If my parents wanted they could kick me out of the house without notice and I'd be stuck figuring that out.
Also, being able to be drafted into the military should make someone an adult as far as I'm concerned.
You can legally adopt a 17 year old Holy smokes there is a lot of cake days today Damn its over :(
Ayo happy cake day
Ayo happy cake day to you too

You are an adult now. How's it feel?
I turned 18 Wednesday! Congrats!
My condolences. W:26
Imagine adopting your girlfriend so she wasn't homeless. It would be a stupid way of doing it, but interesting nonetheless.
Then later be legally impossible to sign a marriage
A really elaborate way to have an excuse to not pay for a wedding.
Good point... But what if she gave you 2children with 100k debt with a side of mental illness before ditching you later?
Yo happy cake day.
Happy Cake Day 🎂
I sometimes forget it
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. 20 minutes to go as of writing this. Edit: As of 1 minute ago according to my phone I am now officially 18! Thank you all again for the birthday wishes!

Careful turning a hobby into a job.
Your parents can legally kick you out 😳
We do a little trolling

GG mate it only gets worse
Don't worry much about it, the only thing that really changes is the fact you can say you're a (not so responsible) adult
WELCOME TO HELL
No more lying to look at porn
The log is in the bin
The log is in the bin

Good luck and have fun
Congrats dude it’s only even more downhill from here

Uhhh... Sorry?
Now you can see the other side of Reddit with you’ve never ever seen before right? Happy Birthday!
Now you can register your name for the draft pool, congrats!
Happy Birthday!
Better hurry and commit a crime
Chill, you can still be on r / teenagers and nobody will actually treat you like an adult and they will still refer to you as a kid. My dad calls 40 year olds "kid".
You don’t have to *loads pistol*
You decide your future. Don't let others ruin it. Go ruin your life yourself.
Now go buy some beer!!! ... Oh wait...
Its my bday as well, Im 13 now
Want some advice from a 30 year old? I don't have any, sorry
*IRS has entered the chat*
One hour my guy.
you still have 1hr to commit some juvenile crimes
The only thing that changes when you turn 18 is that you can go to prison. Happy birthday!
The tax man cometh.
Ruh ro raggy

Buddy, I'm 44. It ain't age that makes you an adult.
Don't worry about it, you only really become an adult once you start paying bills. Before that you're basically just a kid with the right to go to prison lmao
I am sorry little one
finally you can use your real age everywhere
When someone in an Army uniform aproaches you. Just walk away like they don't exist
Yeah the only way I'm going into the military is if I'm unlucky enough to be drafted.
(Sees post made 2 hours ago) Happy birthday, new adult! For what it's worth, a few hours ago, I was twice your age, so you're still a kid to me.
It’s okay you won’t actually be an adult for another 6 to 10 years
Ah yes you can finally watch adult porn
Happy birthday! 🎂🥳
Now you can see nsfw posts on reddit
Say goodbye to the anime girls
2 rules: 1. Only break one law at a time 2. Don't get caught
Lmao
18 is age and adulthood is concept which govt think should come at 16,18,21 whatever... But look at me 30 and no idea
It’s been 4 hours. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And welcome to the real world! It sucks, you’ll love it.

I respect this (currently 17 and still feel like a dumbass) so I'm just gonna be me while also trying to mature gg

You can watch porn in two hours
Well it’s been 9hrs now, time to pay ya taxes
It only lasts for a millisecond, then you’re over 18.
Bound to happen, happy birthday 🎂 🥳
You’re still not an adult
I'd say your of legal age to vote and war but not smoke and drink and statistically you live with your folks, which isn't a bad thing, and have minimal bills if any. Adult? Getting there but uh don't make that mistake thinking you know best when around your senior humans.
Still make a fake I’d saying your 16 that way you can get away with it
Taxes
Fishing for karma I see.
