Humans between the ages of 18-21. The stage in which they are legally considered and adult; but are still way to stupid to life on their own.

The time in a person’s life when they know they are so much smarter than their parents and run with their freedom; then call mommy and daddy to save them when they mess up because they in fact have no idea how things actually work.

The time period where making mistakes is normal and often a necessary lesson before officially going on your own.
As little Timmy sat in the dark, eating dry ramen noodles, he sadly learned renting his own place didn’t include electricity or food. It was then he knew he should have listened to his mommy talk about the difference between being an adult or a duhdult.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
