“Scroll through the #adulting hashtag on Twitter at any given moment, and you're likely to see Millennials sharing anecdotes like: "I grabbed drinks with friends but only talked about apartment leases #adulting," "I have clean laundry!!! #adulting," and, "I made dinner that wasn't hummus and baby carrots #adulting."

"Adulting" implies that being an adult is not a necessary part of growing up, but rather a life choice you're hesitant to fully buy into. It's a singularly Millennial — especially female, at that — immaturity that reduces being a grown-up to a hobby. If nothing else you do makes you seem like a stereotypical Millennial living in an entitled fantasy land where actually growing up is, like your hobbies, optional, saying "adulting" is sure to do just that.”
