I think the intention of that statement is that you are an adult, but often won't have the full responsibilities of adulthood until later. So it's kinda like having the most freedom to do what you want before you get settled, and while you are at or near your physical peak.

(Obviously this varies a lot between individuals, and I don't really agree with the sentiment anyhow)
