"Did you and your boyfriend meet here at work?"
"No, I met him when I was in middle school."
"Oh, so you started dating when you both started working here?"
"Haha, no. We've been dating for over four years already. Ever since high school."
"Wow, that's a long time. So you're going to get married soon, huh?"
"WHAT?! NO. I can't even move out of the house yet and you expect me to get married and have children?!"Getting married is one of the last things on my mind. All I think about is school and work because without them I have no idea how to "emerge" into an independent adult.

Story of my life (sometimes).
Times have obviously changed from when marrying young and moving out of the house was to be expected. These are two of the five milestones that Henig mentions in her article. What if the milestones changed as well? What if everyone has their own meaning of milestone? J.F. Sargent writes in his article "5 Important Milestones of Adulthood Nobody Talks About" which are totally different from milestones mentioned in Henrig's article. (Be warned, some uncensored and maybe unnecessary cursing throughout the article.) Although Sargent's article is written in a more humorous style, it is still just as serious in terms of reaching some milestones which factor into adulthood. I believe that milestones in general are great goals to set in life, but I also believe that milestones have changed depending on the individual. What milestone are you striving to reach first?
