ADULTHOOD SURVIVAL KIT

Adulthood entails voting, smoking, paying bills, eating healthy/veggies, paying taxes, worrying, leaving zits alone, parallel parking properly, tattoos, getting excited about vacuum cleaners and remembering to take your vitamins. And nothing says "Welcome to adulthood, you'll be fine!" like a survival kit.

Though very sarcastic in nature, this kit was well intended. And while I know I'm just a few seconds into my adulthood adventure, an adulthood survival kit (one with real money instead of fake money, preferably) would have been very helpful. But for a friends 18th birthday (and a desperately needed outlet for my creative energy), the not-so-helpful adulthood survival kit was essential.

BAND-AIDS...
used best for cuts, scratches and broken hearts.
SOME MEDS...
as in candy, because it's not that kind of box.
ADULTHOOD IS PRICELESS...
jk its rly expensive, so we included some fake money to
 help and also coupons for a free profile photo.
EMERGENCY SOCK STASH... 
Because socks always go missing and that's a 
fact of life all adults must accept.
PRESCRIPTION FOR HOW TO WIN A GIRL...
don't worry, talking to her dad first is a part of the treatment plan.
A LIGHTER...
strictly for lighting birthday candles and roman candles, 
even though legal lung cancer is now an option.

So if you ever find yourself with an abundant supply of tick tacks, red paper and red stickers, one fabulous white gel pen, fake money, a lighter, socks, bandages, candy and great life advice (Eat your veggies, pay your bills, and call your mom once a month.), and a friend entering adulthood, maybe you should make an adulthood-survival kit too.

And make me one while you're at it. Because I need all the help I can get.
