A tale of two roommates trying to adult.

 "Adulting" what's that?

It's crazy to think that we are just expected to know how to be adults and to live on our own by a certain age. Though with that said I do think its a good idea that in the four or more years we are in college majority of us get to have a taste of what it's like to be an "adult." Though not everyone knows how to do this in the healthiest or smartest ways. 

To expand what I mean by a taste of "adulting" is simply just having to cook your own food, buy groceries and clean etc... But with that, I have a funny little story of the first time my roommate and I got our own groceries.

So when you are a broke college student you try to mainly buy only the essentials right? well, that's what my roommate and I thought but defining what we need and what we want is quite a difficult task as I've mentioned in a prior blog post. 

When we got to the store we first decided to tackle a few things:

Food: bread, cereal, bagel bites, peanut butter and jam, oat milk (because our body hates regular milk), spam and other processed food, and lots and lots of ramen. 

We then decided to look around more and spotted a couple cute items so we added that to our cart because we felt that our room needed more decorations. Then she spotted our favorite chips, and she also wanted a cheesecake and I wanted macarons that I saw they had in the bakery aisle. After this we just kept adding things to our cart like ice cream, and more ramen and noodles.

After we noticed how much "junk" and unhealthy food we had in our cart we laughed but convinced each other these were all needed and by the time it was time to check out we cried as we swiped our card. 

We got back to the dorm and only then did we realize we forgot to buy water... but pretty much ever since then, we have tried to make a list of things we actually need or are running low on. We found out the reason people have shopping/grocery lists and have truly stuck to that. 

So note to self and to anyone else, lists are really helpful especially if you are trying to stay on top of your things and not spend money on unnecessary items.
