Does your first day at a “career-type” job mean you’re officially an adult? 

It certainly means there is less time to spend on the couch watching Jersey Girls and other mind numbing TV.  At a younger age there were endless hours of Pippi; “They need only read the tales of Pippi Longstocking — the fiercely independent and cheerfully kooky 9-year-old who has been a soul mate to generations of children longing to color outside the lines”. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/23/weekinreview/23ryan.html?emc=eta1#

Time to move onto Stieg Larsson books Megan.  Mind numbing literature is much more socially acceptable, hence adult,  than TV.  Or there is the movie.
