“I started BKP in the basement of my sorority house during my senior year of college,” she revealed. “I was procrastinating as per usual and loved looking at @WhiteGirlProblems, @FirstWorldProblems and other ‘problems’ accounts on Twitter.”
“I decided to make one for my demographic at the time -college kidsabout to be thrown into the real world, who felt less like adults and more like ‘big kids,’” Sarah shared. “In that moment, @BigKidProblems was born.”“I ran it as an anonymous account, and it started to get popular around my campus. It was so fun to feel like I had a secret alter ego,” the creator continued.

“When I graduated, I moved to NYC and kept it going, and my big kid problems suddenly got very real. Working in a crappy office job, not being able to afford rent, all the fun things that come with young adult life, and it only continued to grow in popularity,” Sarah shared.“The account has continued to grow up with me; up and down the corporate ladder, dating -marriage, and now even having kids of my own. It’s wild! And a lot of the audience has grown up with me as well,” the creator says.

As far as why it’s so important to discuss these issues, Sarah says, “So many of the big kid problems we face are so relatable and universal. To know you’re not the only person going through something can really help you feel less alone in the process.”
Sarah says that she’s loved talking about pregnancy and parenthood so much that she actually created a podcast dedicated to it: “Bottle Service with Big Kid Problems.”
Sarah also shared some wise words for fellow “big kids” out there struggling with adulthood.“Everything is temporary! You will go through so many highs and lows as you continue to go through adulthood, and you’ll figure it out as you go,” she told Bored Panda.

“Bad times don’t last, and they will make you stronger, more interesting, and dare I say, sexier? One day, you’ll be making pancakes with the love of your life and laughing about how stressed you were when some dude didn’t text you back in your 20’s,” the creator added. “Things that seem overwhelming now will give you a chuckle in the future and remind you that you can get through anything.”
Finally, Sarah shared, “The big kid problems never go away, they just look different. My dad (who is in his 60’s) likes to say he has big kid problems too. Embrace the chaos, and if you can laugh through the hard times, you’ll have a lot more fun along the way.”
