I second that. I did a lot a maturing during grad school. It is a job (especially the TA part), and is a lot of work. I think people who say grad school delays adulthood never went themselves, and they think school == for children.
Agreed 100%. TAing a class with 240 students is no joke (no, I'm not the only TA). I am looking forward to my summer internship because I think it's going to be a lot more relaxing than school. I'll have time to buy my own groceries (vs. Safeway delivery), I'll only work five days a week, I will be able to sleep 6-7 hours ever night, etc. Being a grad student is very unlike being an undergrad.
Plus, grad school finally got me to stop playing WoW - I suspect that if I'd gotten a job right out of undergrad I would still be playing.
