Buy Spray Paint

Spray paint is toxic and can cause significant damage in the wrong hands, meaning it’s legally only sold to adults. You can get creative with a can of spray paint when it comes to DIY projects but don’t engage in vandalism or cover the town with graffiti unless you want to face the wrath of your local sheriff’s department!

Move Out of Your Parents’ Home

Moving out of your parents’ home is a significant milestone that every adult will experience. Research viable apartments before moving out to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Bet On A Horse Race

Gambling isn’t a habit you should get into, but betting on horse races can be great fun if you know when to stop.

Buy Cough Suppressants

Due to the presence of dextromethorphan in most cough suppressants available over the counter, you need to be an adult to purchase them in any quantity. Being able to quell a troublesome cough without running to your parents may prove one of the best parts of being an adult.

Rent A Ride-Sharing Scooter

You can only rent a ride-sharing scooter if you’re over 18 and have a valid driver’s license. If you fit the criteria, head out with a couple of friends and take in your local area from a new perspective.

Give Consent and Get Vaccinated

You will have previously needed your parents’ permission to make important medical decisions surrounding giving consent and getting vaccinated. When you become an adult you gain full autonomy over your body, making your medical care your responsibility.

Apply To Find Your Biological Parents If You Are Adopted

When an adopted child becomes an adult, they have the right to apply to find their biological parents. You need to be 18 before you’ll be allowed to gain access to your adoption records and the procedures for this aren’t the same for all states. Therefore, it’s wise to do your research and enlist the help of your adoptive parents to ensure this process goes smoothly.
