I'm only 23 and I have noticed recently that I tend to put my hands on my knees for support when I sit down or get up, and upon standing up it takes me at least 5 seconds of walking to come to a fully upright position - I hope thats normal.

Currently, though. I'm 20, third year of my degree, and finding it harder to stay up late or pull all-nighters (Arkham City was the exception), and much easier to actually just get on with my coursework. Also, lolcats no longer amuses me.
I'm 22
No longer want to have sex all the time . ( iv'e decline a couple of time , it would have never happened before i was 20)
I care what women have to say . ( not proud of this one but i was macho as a teen)
I can no longer go outside in sub zero tempatures without dressing up like a bear ( i live in quebec)
I consider FF3 ( US number) the pinnacle of rpg games.
I own a original copy of Finalfantasy and mystic quest
And the biggest one is my perception of time. As a child i saw time in hours ( 24 hours was a long time ) , in highschool it was in days( a week was a long time ), in college it was in weeks ( a months was a long time ), now i perceive time in months and a year for me is a long time . When i start seeing time in years , then i will now i am truely old.

I'm 20 now, and I've been looking forward to the return of Beavis and Butthead for a long time, and I've finally gotten it. Now, the cartoon shorts were hilarious and you can find them anywhere... But the music video segments were GOLD. I loved those SO much. The new BBH cartoons are as good as they've ever been, but the music videos... Well, MTV segments is what you can call them. Half the time they're Jersey Shore or Teen Mom or something. For someone like me (with a triple-digit IQ), this is stupid as all hell. You can even tell Mike Judge didn't want to do it. They aren't funny and they reference a part of pop culture that is beyond asinine. Beavis and Butthead themselves sound totally bored with it, and the only time they remind me of the classic stuff is when the music videos come on. The MGMT video for "Kids" really felt like the old days.
Maybe I'm weird, but I don't look forward to spending my 20s in this decade.

Aside from a problem with my knee (not caused by age, but rather walking into a stepstool the wrong way at work a few years ago), I'm not much different now at 35 than I was at 20. Of course, that's less "I'm doing pretty good at 35" and more "I wasn't doing all that good at 20".

Ok.. I'm 23.. So not that old.. I have a GF who's 33 and thats not so old either.. She has two kids. A son 15 and a daughter 9 the both live with us.. I just recently bought an apartment (that I have to pay for 18 years) & now we have a 3 months oled daugter of our own.. And none of that makes me feel old.. Just cause I refuse to let the kid in me die (And thats why i get along so good with my stepson)
But one day we were @ my grandma's place and we talked about something and I said.. "umm.. yeah but that was 'bout 15 years ago" And Then I realized that, I don't want to B taht old that I couldsay "15 years ago"
Ouyeah It's 01.31 here and I'we had a long day @ work.. S I have no idea if my txt makes any sense to anybody @ all..

Sometimes I leave the house without my cellphone or I just forget to load its battery.
When I tell this to younger people, their eye go wide and they ask "But how can I reach you if I have to talk to you?".
My first instinct is to tell them "Well, you can't. Remember a time, when you had to be actually at home to be called?" But then I realize, that they dont remember such a time

Sometimes my knee or thumbs randomly hurt.
I wake up from heavy drinking with bad circualtion in my legs making them feel cold.
Hitting up cherished books/films/games fromm your teens and realising they suck.
Being in a pub and thinking everyone there is under-age when they are actually 20.
People assuming you have kids/wife/SO.
I tend take dates from around the mid to late-90s so I tend to think of the 80s as about 15 years ago rather than 30
I am doing an HNC for work at college and some kids don't know what a floppy disk, VHS, CRT, casette tape, radio, dial-up and many other things are.

At 30 I already have a lot of 'old age' signs as a result of technology:
- I don't own a cell phone and can't work them when given one
- I don't actively use facebook, twitter or any common networking sites
- I probably know about 10 songs released in the last 10 years
- I largely consider gaming to be a single player offline experience
- I consider eating out or fast food to be a rare treat
- I feel that kids have it easy when compared to my upbringing
- I dislike nearly all post 2000 movies and cartoons when compared to those I grew up with (although t.v. has largely improved in show quality from the TGIF days)
- Standard health signs: I'm balding, starting to get grey hair and have frequent knee pain along with constant headaches.

I have the same kind of problem when i see something dated 1999 or before. In my mind it feels like almost yesterday (so to speak) but then i begin to calculate and then it hits me that that is 12 years ago already.winginson said:
For me that is secret of mana.krazykidd said:
I'd have to say the big sign was the first time I ordered a beer and DIDN'T get carded, which was earlier this year, not long after I turned 24. In fact, even though everyone in the group I was hanging with that day was of age, the only person who got carded was the one guy who didn't order any alcohol at all. He actually was the youngest by a few months, but the chick who had that "a few months" definitely looks younger than he does.
Oh, and then there's the fact that I can describe things in my life that haven't happened in "decades", plural.
