I'm still waiting for that eye-opening experience to happen to me.
Although I won't truly feel like an adult until I'm at least 21.

Man... when you get a job, work to pay for yourself... either in school or out of school...
that is adulthood..
could be you will be an immature guy all your life... as others have posted ^, well they are older but still figure they are young at heart... but those guys are still adults..
Youth is a state of mind, and more power to those guys that still feel youthful.
But sometime you will have to be responsible for things in your life... like rent, or paying for a home.
supporting a family.. etc.
I was out on my own at 17. Yep, I did have to go back to mom and dads house at 21.. for a time..
paid them rent for the few months I was there.
I think your question is more about being mature than being an 'adult'. maturity is something that you learn or earn.. Adulthood is just a term, generally meaning age.
Maturity can be gained at 15, 17, 20...
I've got an online buddy that is now 25.. met him when he was 22... he was mature at 20..

When I turned 18, I didn't feel like an adult.
When I went abroad for 6 months, I didn't feel like an adult.
When someone called me 'sir' for the first time, I didn't feel like an adult.
When I moved out of the house, I didn't feel like an adult.
I will finish my college education (after 8 years!) in four weeks. Two weeks ago I was offered a steady job at my current school. Since then, I've been looking at rental apartments. NOW I'm starting to feel like an adult!

Overall concensus is if you get called Sir or when you move out; if it doesnt happen when those happen though, it never does!
Interesting!

I still don't quite feel like an adult... but I decided at forty that it was inescapable, I was an adult whether I felt like it or not.
But you know, I never did have any of those "responsibility" adulthood rites of passage. I've never had my own apartment, just roommates; and even then I never lived more than five miles from home, my Grandmother helped me out with money every now and then, and I still did my laundry at home. I didn't go away to school, I lived at home and attended locally; I've never had a long-term relationship, the only time I lived with a guy was in a group house and it only lasted four months; and though I've had jobs, they've always been more-or-less entry-level, I've never had any responsibilities beyond doing my own work.
But forty was definitely my drop-dead date for youth. I may not have a very adult lifestyle, but I'm inescapably an adult now. It's time for the cardigan and the rocking-chair. A walking-stick I can shake at young people while calling them "damned whippersnappers!"

At 34, when I signed my first Mortgage. That's the official start of "adult" responsibilities. But at now 46, I still feel and often act in my 20's. Yayyyyy!!!!

I'm 22, just graduated from college. I definitely feel like a kid. I get mistaken for a high schooler all the time.
I expect to feel more like an adult when I get a steady job and have a permanent address other than my parents', and when I start having monthly bills to pay. I have a feeling I won't actually "settle down" for at least a couple years, though.

Wow. I don't know what planet some of you younger guys are living on that are in college like me and still don't feel like an adult.
I moved out when I graduated high school and never looked back. I moved to a place 8-9 hour drive away from where I grew up. It's true that my first year of university, I didn't feel like an adult then compared to how I do now... I was still 19... but after my first year, I turned 20 and worked full time and moved to another apartment, with new people, and really started to take care of my own things.
I guess for a lot of people in University it depends on what you do in the summers. I've never moved home. I have my year of classes, but then in the summer I work full time and pay my own rent, and take care of all my own stuff, all that responsibility... that's what makes me feel like an adult. Independence. And even though my parents, for example, are obviously older to me, sometimes I scoff at them because they think they have so much experience just because of age, and I've told them: please. You drive everywhere. You've never had to look for a job in a metropolis. You've never had to find your own apartment in a city. You've never completely uprooted your entire life in terms of location. You've never had to learn a new language because of where you moved to. That's experience...
