6:00 a.m. is when you get up not when you go to sleep.

In honor of all the recent grads…from The Humor Archives: Things that happen after you graduate from college:

Life After College Wordle

Your potted plants stay alive.

Having sex in a twin-sized bed is absurd.

You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

6:00 a.m. is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.

You hear your favorite song on the elevator at work.

You carry an umbrella.

You watch the Weather Channel.

Your friends marry and divorce instead of hookup and breakup.

You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.

Jeans and a sweater no longer qualifies as ‘dressed up.’

Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds.

Sleeping on the couch is a no-no.

You no longer take “naps” from noon to 6 p.m.

Dinner and a movie – The whole date instead of the beginning of one.

MTV News is no longer your primary source for information.

You go to the drugstore for ibuprofen and antacids, not condoms and pregnancy test kits.

A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer ‘pretty good stuff.’

You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time.

Grocery lists are longer than macaroni & cheese, Diet Pepsi, & Ho-Ho’s.

‘I just can’t drink the way I used to’ replaces ‘I’m never going to drink that much again.’

Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

You don’t get liquored up at home to save money before going to a bar.

I have a few to add to the list:

  • You no longer throw freshly laundered / pressed clothes on the floor in a omigod-what-am-I-going-to-wear-today frenzy because YOU HAD TO WASH AND IRON THEM.
  • You get mad when you come home and your roommate has turned the A/C down to 60 degrees, opened all the windows, and left for the weekend.
  • You find yourself thinking that money doesn’t grow on trees.
  • You become coupon-savvy and stock up when it’s 2-for-1.
  • You hand your guests a coaster with their drink and are annoyed when they don’t use it.
  • Finding pizza on the floor under the sofa three months later? Not so funny any more!
