Growing up, movies and TV made adulthood look pretty great. You had a huge apartment, an exciting career, enough money to go out whenever you wanted, and somehow your entire friend group was always free at the same time.

In this episode of A.J. Chat, we look back at shows and movies like Friends, Sex and the City, 13 Going on 30, The Devil Wears Prada, and Emily in Paris that gave us a slightly questionable idea of what growing up would actually look like.

The apartments got smaller, the schedules got busier, and somehow nobody warned us that planning dinner with friends would require three weeks' notice.
