No one knows the struggle of adult life quite like Claudia Oshry AKA @girlwithnojob. If you ever feel like you're failing at this whole adult thing and are avoiding entering the real world for as long as humanly possible, just know you're not alone. Girl With No Job memes will make you feel a whole lot better about those adulting struggles.

The real reason we're all desperate to get a job straight out of uni

 

Being able to make my rent has always been a dream of mine (@mytherapistsays)

Full-time work must mean more money for brunch, right? It’s a daily struggle, trying to decide whether to save money and make your own food or eat out. Most of the time, laziness and lack of cooking skills means the latter wins. At least we might be able to afford it with a proper job…

Drinking as an adult just means drinking smarter

Thanks Girl With No Job and Otis AKA Turnt Grandpa for this solid advice. Hangovers get even worse as you get older, so why not conquer that with a continual #hairofthedog breakfast bev? Mimosa anyone?

We’ve all been here…

The awkward moment when you try to take $20 out and your request gets denied. You will then insist you have money and that there must be a bank error or someone has stolen your money. That’s until you check your transaction history and remember the spending binge you went on, mostly on ridiculous stuff you definitely do not need.

Doing chores are the absolute worst

 

This is why I ant be held responsible for household chores. I don't have the physical stamina (@girlsthinkimfunny)

As we become “proper” adults, it becomes less and less acceptable for your apartment to be littered with dirty plates, clothes and general mess. But why do chores have to be so boring and hard?!

Pretending you’re a responsible adult is the hardest part

 

"Yes this will be just fine."

Sure, you may be able to afford to order a bottle of wine with dinner now. You might pretend you’re choosing a wine based on its region or other merits, but really you’re choosing the cheapest one you can find on the list. You’re slightly richer but you’re not made of money after all.

You’re constantly avoiding everything you need to do

Adult life means more responsibilities. Instead of getting everything done and feeling accomplished, you’ll avoid everything and be super stressed out as a result. Adulting is hard, so yes, you do deserve a bubble bath.

Those bills, bills, bills…

Remember that time long ago when your parents used to pay for your phone bill? That was a great time. Paying bills is a sign you’ve truly entered adulthood. The struggle is real when your phone bill turns up way more expensive, even though you have unlimited calls and texts. What we wouldn’t give for unlimited data for all the important things, like Girl With No Job memes.
