15 Funny memes that prove Adulthood is just a scam we all signed up for

With each passing year, we go deeper and deeper into the thick of being an adult, and honestly, it's the worst. Having your own autonomy is fun and all that but being able to depend on someone for sustenance, bills, and clothing is so much more fun.

I mean, imagine being dead sick and you have no adult to turn to, because you're the adult. And when life does as it does and kicks you even when you're down bad, it almost makes you feel like this whole adulting thing was not everything everyone cranked it up to be when we just turned 18.

Either way, there's no escaping it. And so, what better to do than to just accept it and laugh? That's where we come in. We've scoured the internet and rounded up some of the funniest memes for you to chuckle over, despite how annoyingly true they can be. Have fun!
