The never-ending "adulting" task list: laundry, cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and wondering where all the medyas (socks) go. It's the art and science of running a home without it descending into chaos. If you live with your parents, this is what your mom does 24/7. If you live alone, this is why you're always tired.
