Official Summary: A guided journal to celebrate your adult firsts
Congrats—you’re an adult now!*
Your first real job. The first plant you kept alive. The first relationship you kept alive (until further notice).
This hand-lettered and illustrated guided journal is a charming and cheeky celebration of what it means to finally be a grown-up (sort of).
From the first time you visited home without bringing dirty laundry to the first time you truly felt comfortable in your own skin, the small victories and meaningful milestones in this quirky and insightful journal make it a great gift and a fun experience for anyone winning at adulthood – the good, the bad and the OMG.

Review: May was the month of graduations, but if you still have to get that graduate a gift – or there is a party approaching – definitely think about getting Adult-ish. It’s a hand-lettered journal full of great quotes, activities, and other places to draw and share. It’s all about being an adult and chronicling those milestones – relationships, apartments, doing your own laundry. Serious and silly topics!
This is just one page in the book. If you can’t read it, it’s a section where you get advice from various people in your life (neighbor, old friend, etc.) and then you write down their words of wisdom on the page. The book is full of little things like this. If you’re going to gift this book, I’d suggest adding some pens or pencils to go with it so they can get started right away!
In the beginning of this book, there is a Certificate of Birth into Adulthood that the recipient can fill out! Fun, right? This would be a great book to fill out over a long period of time. It’s kind of a self-guided journal!
Adult-ish: A Self Guided Journal Perfect for the New Graduate! #books #graduation Share on XWhat do you think? Would you get this book for any graduates in your life?
Wow, looks an awesome book. I hope the bookstores nearby have it. ❤️??

Haha, this looks really cute. It would definitely make for a great graduation gift and I actually have a couple of gifts I need to buy so thanks for the idea 🙂
This looks like such a fun book and a great gift!
A dialogue at perform right now introduced up the topic of essay creating expert services – everyday people have been very break up on whether or not they would at any time use a person.

This is fantastic! I wonder if I even remember the answers to the questions 🙂 I always have graduates every year, so I am going to keep this on the radar for next year!
Oh I like this one. I will have graduates in the fam next year so I’ll have to keep it in mind.
Cool idea.
For What It’s Worth
This book sounds great. How cool to keep track of all your firsts and get advice from those in your life. It’s so easy to forget everything you’ve done so to have somewhere to compile all those memories is awesome. I think it’s a great graduation gift.
I have kept a flower alive for 4 months now…4!!!

This sounds like such a fun journal!
What a perfect graduation gift–I love the recommendation to get pens or pencils to go with it. This looks so fun 🙂
What a fun journal! Seems perfect for those embarking into “real life.” 🙂
This is a super fun journal. I keep killing my plants… *sobs* so the day I can complete that one will be a triumph! Xo – Alexandra

This looks really fun and cool to use, Lauren! Hugs…
What a great idea! Love this… now I just need to find the right person to gift it too!
My Belle (who is graduating TODAY) would love something like this! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t know anyone graduating this year – believe it or not – but this looks wonderful. I love to journal myself. Wonderful concept. Thanks for letting me stop by. Have a nice weekend! #GetSocial17
Aw man, this is totally cute 🙂 I’d want one of those!
hehe, this seems like an awesome book! I still don’t feel like I’m really an adult yet even though it’s been over a decade since I turned 18 (hah). I can’t keep relationships alive and I still don’t have a plant! :[ (A raccoon savaged it.)
This would be perfect for a graduation! Love it!
I’m 5 months away from being a new grad and this would actually be rather useful!
Oh that does sound fun 😀
