Is This How You "Adult?"

Did you know one of the biggest trends is being an adult? Or rather adulting? 
Fun fact: adulting isn't really a word. But we use it as if it is. "Adulting" implies that being an adult is not a necessary part of growing up, but rather a life choice that you are hesitant to jump in to. We are basically perceiving it as a hobby. 
Part of the term's popularity is solely from social media. The new world where people can present curated versions of their lives, with #adultingwin posts on full display for others to envy. 
But there's another aspect on the rise from this term. From acknowledged #adulting fails, we are reminding ourselves that despite our differences in age or background, we all still feel like children sometimes.
