It’s Saturday. You’ve survived the work week. Congratulations! Now, before you can kick back and relax for the weekend there are just a few simple things to accomplish on your to-do list.
1) Buy coffee filters
2) Call parents
3) File tax returns
4) Take the dog for a walk
5) Return overdue library book
Feeling ambitious? Perhaps you will suck it up and finally hit ’send’ on e-filing those tax returns. But wait, what’s this?! The date to e-file has past?! You’re going to need to print out your forms and mail it in old school – which means you now need to pick up stamps. No worries, you think. You can swing by the post office on your way to the store to pick up coffee filters. You decide to head out, but where did you leave your keys? You ask your roommate. “Where did you last have them?” Ughhh!!
Welcome to Adulting!
PS: You can also buy a physical!
