How old were you when you realized that most adults are just sort of winging it? When you're a child, a teenager, and even a young adult taking your first steps in the real world, it's easy to fall under the impression that your seniors, shaped by time and experience, have a better grasp on how to handle life than you do. That is the correct assessment, actually. Adults are generally better equipped to handle this wacky world, but that's because we've tried and failed multiple times.

The truth is that no one actually has real, solid answers because there are none. In fact, the people that think they have the answers are just speaking from their own limited experience, and results may vary. We're all just trying our best. If you've ever found yourself frantically searching for the nearest adult to help you handle a situation, only to realize that you are the adult in the room, scroll down for a handful of memes that tell it like it is.

My friend's dad used to say “It's a doggy dog world,” and so that's how I would say it until well after I graduated university.

Some of these memes just prove that there are no original experiences.
