But things have changed (hopefully).\n\n\n\n</p><p>Here are 10 things you hated as a kid that turned out to be awesome:\n\n\n\n</p><p><strong>10. Going to School<br>Granted, I may be one of the few people who, as an adult, would love to start over my school years, but such is the truth. When looking back at how dumb I was in my school days, I can\u2019t help but facepalm. Now that I\u2019m become a big boy I\u2019ve learned to value the power of education and knowledge that my teachers tried to stick in my brain.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37385\"\/'>\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Getting Practical Gifts<br>Remember the time when you got your first practical birthday gift after years and years of getting toys and LEGO sets? I would kill for a bucket of fresh socks right now.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-21.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37396\"\/'>\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Listening to Good Music<br>By good music I mean genres like blues, jazz, classical tunes etc., not the usual Disney songs or catchy cartoon openings. Children\u2019s psyche is not prepared to process the complex emotions put into the real music.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37387\"\/'>\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Taking Baths<br>Remember when you cried your eyes out when mom told you it\u2019s bath time? I do, and I was a goddamn fool. Baths are amazing!\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-4.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37388\"\/'>\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n</p><p><strong>6. The Taste of Alcohol<br>Came home parched after kicking the ball with my fellow kids, saw a glass half-filled with clear liquid, took a big gulp, and almost died. Turns out vodka tastes like hell! Of course, years later, when whiskey became my best friend, that incident seems funnier and funnier every time I think of it.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37389\"\/'>\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Watching Horror Movies<br>This one\u2019s quite simple: kids HATE being scared. Adults live for that adrenaline rush!\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37390\"\/'>\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Choosing Cake over a Juicy Steak<br>Being an adult, you can choose what is going to be on your dinner plate today, but kids don\u2019t have that luxury. More often that not I\u2019d choose dessert over anything and everything, including roasted meat with mashed potatoes. What an idiot.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37391\"\/'>\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Eating Vegetables<br>One thing I\u2019d never choose voluntarily were the veggies, except maybe for pickled stuff, but that doesn\u2019t count. Eat your veggies, kids, because you never know what\u2019s waiting for you in 20 years.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-81.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37397\"\/'>\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. The Opposite Sex<br>Kids are stupid. They don\u2019t like meat, alcohol makes them sick, so of course talking to the opposite sex would be problematic. Although, some people are yet to figure out that your special friend of the opposite sex is just as effed up as you are.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2018%5C/08%5C/10-things-we-hated-as-kids-but-love-as-adults-9.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-37393\"\/'>\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Taking Naps<br>And finally, the best thing about being a kid \u2013 the naps. I miss them\u2026 Oh, how I miss them\u2026 Wait, no I don\u2019t! I can take a nap anytime I want, I\u2019m a freelancer!
