The years fly by quickly, and so one morning we will wake up at the age of 35 and wonder how this is possible, if we were - so it seems - only yesterday in college. If you're in your late twenties (or you're an "old soul" by nature), you're probably already noticing how you have to be much more responsible about most things than you were a few years ago. Check if you really have grown up among the ten signs.
1. You regularly check your bank account balance.
When you got your first bank card, you were excited about the then-it-seemed-so-massive limit that the bank generously granted you, of course you took advantage of it. Today, instead, you regularly monitor your account balance, and if you go into the red, both the interest and your conscience burn you.
2. You have started to value every hour of your night's sleep.
The malaise and unproductiveness after a night of all-nighters has caused you to start appreciating every hour of your night's sleep and schedule your daily responsibilities so that you never miss a 6- to 8-hour date with your bed.
3. When shopping, pay attention to promotions and discounts.
You have started to realize how quickly every euro in your wallet becomes familiar, so when shopping (especially groceries) you carefully monitor promotions and discounts, but when you are thinking about a vacation or vacation, you must first check the offer on sites such as Kuponko.

4. You return books from the library on time.
You've learned to be on time for everything—especially things you have to pay for if you're late, like late library books.
5. You have learned to say NO.
You're only really an adult when you know yourself so well that you know what you want, what you need, and what things would be too stressful for you. Thus, you are able to politely (but still firmly) say NO to everything that does not bring any added value to your life: from all kinds of invitations to drinks to extra work at work.
6. You no longer forget appointments and check-ups.
Always remember that you have made an appointment with a dentist, ophthalmologist or gynaecologist. What's more: you don't come to the waiting room at the last minute, but even a few minutes earlier.
7. You started following the news and reading newspapers.
What you once thought was the routine of the old and boring is now your everyday life. In the morning, you flip through the daily newspaper or check the daily news at least on the Internet, and you also listen to the evening news every evening at seven o'clock.
8. You no longer party until the morning on Friday night, but often fall asleep on the sofa while watching a movie.
Friday's party break, which a few years ago you looked forward to from Monday onwards, is no longer on your list of priorities. On the contrary: you look forward to Friday evening because of those few hours of relaxation in comfortable clothes, when you don't have to move anywhere from the sofa (except to the toilet).
9. When shopping for clothes and shoes, comfort comes first.
Of course, girls still love to wear elegant lounge shoes, but some time ago you realized that simple ballet flats are much more comfortable for every day. In addition, be sure to check the material the new find is made of in a clothing store before purchasing.
10. You actively started working on yourself.
The biggest sign of adulthood is that you have become aware of your mistakes, weaknesses and bad sides, which you do not hide, but are ready to face them: through conversations with friends, therapy, journaling or in any other way. You are aware that both mental and physical fitness are necessary for personal growth, so you have started to do things that allow you to get in touch with yourself (yoga, meditation, sports and various courses), and diligently for answers more of a spiritual and psychological nature, you also use the internet and books.
