Are you making common adulting mistakes? Yes. All of them. Probably right now. If you’ve ever found a half-eaten bag of spinach that has turned into a green swamp in your fridge, or if you’ve recently calculated that your life is 40% "waiting for the weekend" and 60% "recovering from the weekend," you are in the right place.
