The following essays explores the construction of identity and the clash of the
expectations of adulthood with its realities. The essays use a dry, humorous tone to
showcase the relationships between people and the speaker’s reflections. Through the
use of dialogue, metaphors, and hyperbole, the text flows from one anecdote to the next
to capture the reader’s attention and explore the heights and pitfalls of adulthood.
