Feeling Your Age

[AvsJoe]

I'm 21, going on 22. Life rocks. Lots of time for it to continue to rock, until one day, when I am old and decrepit, science will find a way to eliminate the genetic breakdown that is old age. Then things will rock some more. Or maybe they will turn to sh!t. Who can say?!

This about sums me up perfectly. Thanks Volvo!

I am having a slightly quarter-life crisis as my 20th birthday creeps up on me. I just don't feel mature enough to be 20 yet. But from the sounds of it, I ent got anything to worry about considering you lot ^^

The first time someone calls you Sir (or Madame if your a lady), that threw my brain out of whack for a while too.

Whenever someone calls me Sir I subconsciously check behind me for the adult they must really be addressing, only to realize that no, they actually meant me. And then I remember I'm almost 30, blargh.

I definitely feel my age encroaching on me these days - used to be a marathon gaming session was no problem, now if I do that my hands start to crap up and I'll be sore for days afterward. Of course there is the bit where I could predict the weather by how much my hands hurt thanks to joint sensitivity to pressure changes, which I've had since before I even turned 20, so I've been feeling kind of old and rickety even before you could really describe me as such (not that 27 is either really, but compared to most folks here I'm ancient, heh), but little things like keeping my shoes on when I get home? Never used to bug me really, but these days as soon as I walk through the door I'm taking them off and putting on my slippers, no exceptions.

I still have horrible sleeping habits though - I feel miserable most of the week, but that doesn't stop me from routinely putting off sleeping until 4AM. I can sleep when I'm dead.

We are all getting older. Second by second your body ages and your running out of time to do all those things you really want to do.

What things have you been noticing that make you feel like age is creeping up on you?

When I notice all the pretty High School girls on the buss to work... and then remember I am 10 years older than them. That really makes me feel old, and then a little dirty

I feel dirty when I see pretty 20 somethings........

Joint pain makes me feel my age (if not older at times).

Just realizing that I'm going to be going back to college as a freshman soon. I'm 24. What the hell, dude?

Don't sweat it man, I'm 26, and am going to university starting next year when I'm 27...I won't be done and (hopefully) have a proper job and be moved out of my moms place until I'm 31.
Fuuuccckkkkk.....
