"Adult" isn't a noun; it's a verb. Just because you don't feel like an adult doesn't mean you can't fake it 'til you make it. Adulting, based on the blog that started a movement, makes the scary, confusing "real world" approachable, manageable--and even conquerable. This guide will help you to navigate the stormy Sea of Adulthood so that you may find safe harbor in Not Running Out of Toilet Paper Bay. Along the way you will learn: how to be a better person in today's often crummy world--it involves the intersection between NPR and hair-straightening; what to check when renting a new apartment--not just the nearby bars, but the faucets and stove, among other things; [and] how to avoid hooking up with anyone in your office--imagine your coworkers having plastic, featureless doll crotches. It helps. From breaking up with frenemies to fixing your toilet, this fun, comprehensive handbook is the answer for aspiring grown-ups of all ages--back cover.
