The whole idea of this project is to discover what being an adult really means, so it was fitting and proper that I spent the last night before we commenced soul searching like a teenager who discovered their parents’ secret stash of liquor for the first time.
Yes, I ended the night in my pool fully clothed, and yes I performed an impromptu jig with my wooden flute throughout the party, but I am proud to say I woke up feeling fairly unscathed. This was after all, one of the tamer New Year’s Eves I’ve had in a few years.

Still, it’s funny how you begin a New Year inevitably (if you’re a drinker) feeling like garbage. A hangover is no way to get a jump on your resolutions for 2010. I also continued the juvenile behavior throughout the day as we played video games, ate junk food, and finished the keg that is currently floating outside my apartment. But I have resolved to write, so write I will.
Contrary to what the first few paragraphs suggest, I am not a delinquent loser. I am actually a well-adjusted, employed, and creative twenty-five year old. I hold a position of power within the company I work for, and I aspire to do big things…someday.
Today begins a yearlong project of exploring what it means to be an adult: the fun parts, the dregs of responsibility versus the immortality of our childhood and college years, and what being a grown up truly entails. So we’ll accomplish 1 adult-like thing a week, and write about the experience.
At the end of the year, we’ll examine if we’ve made it to the promise land of adulthood or not. Without being overly cliché, this project will undoubtedly be more about the journey than the destination, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. More to come on our pursuit of adulthood soon, I’ve got to get back to finalizing my New Year’s Resolutions, because as you can see by my January 3rd start date, I’ve procrastinated yet again.
Lots to do,
Tink
