When people make threads like this for the "first" time.

Also when the emo starts, and I know those kids will have at least two more wonderful relationships and two more tragic losses far worse than they've ever had.

Life's a laugh like that.

When I see the huge difference in terms of responsibility between me and my classmates.

I had a bit of a break between college courses, leading to me sharing classes with 17 year olds, and I'm 21. Lead to me saying things like "Should you really be playing League of Legends right now instead of working on ? We got these free hours for a reason you know."

At moments like that I really feel the age gap between me and my classmates.

Feeling a lot of this just now. Starting uni there's that weird feeling of, just.. not having school. It's odd, being able to do pretty much whatever I fancy without being held back by regulations. That combined with buying all my own food, living with people who aren't my family, doing my own laundry and all those other aspects of life one comes to experience upon leaving home.

I get humbled a lot in my work, as I work in the ER but look like I'm 14. I always feel young when they call me Doogie Howser, but feel old when kids ask who Doogie Howser was.

To the people saying: paying bills, cooking, making it on my own.... seriously?! Been doing that since the age of 9.

I realised I had no new age to look forward to. I'm old enough to drink and that's the last thing of freedom I am afforded.
Also, when I realised that knowing the connection between these two objects is not common knowledge.

So what does that make me if I know how and have done so; but I'm just 18?

The same trick worked for me with my thumb and my Fireman Sam videos.

Holy shit - I'm revelling in the old world. :O

I hate today's popular music. Seriously. This Kesha ***** and those other loony toon chicks that attempt to "sing". Why can't they have good music anymore on the radio?

And then suddenly I understood why my parents hate the music I'm listening to.
I. Am. Old.

Half passed out after several hours of serious partying, lying on the grass and looking into a neighbour's window where their son was sleeping... and realising that he has no idea of life before Bush... When Texas was famous for NASA and TI... When you could support the US and still be seen as halfway intelligent...

I started feeling old when I realized young people haven't heard about NES or SNES. However when I really started to feel adult was when I was home last Christmas and I was eating cheese and crackers with red wine while watching Poirot with my mother. I only had 2 glasses of red wine so it was for the taste, not for the alcohol.

Eh. That either hasn't happened to me yet, or it already happened when I was about 7, and I don't really notice anymore.

Either way, I don't understand ageing very well. XD

Eh, mine doesn't really fit here. And my definition of OLD is maybe a bit harsher:

A few month ago i SLIPPED in the bathroom. As i was laying on the floor it just hit me, i couldn't stop laughing; Who the hell slips in the bathroom: Old people, that's who. {Oh and also: DAMN that HURT, thought for time my knee was smashed. Took a few days to be ok again}

Well, but overall i realized: I never really grew up. I am still like i was when i were 15-16 years old. Only that my body begins to fail, and i don't have that much of a future and more of memories and nostalgia.

It sucks.

The last time that happen to me was a year ago when my cousins (one of them is younger than me) came over to visit.
Anyway we were talking about stuff I do and I use the phrase "surf the net". He was baffle at that phrase and I said it's a phrase use to say you use the internet and that "what how people say it". He just reply back "who are these people you're referring to?". His comment make me think of which people who use that phrase but I keep getting blank realising that no one use that phrase anymore...

Most people in their early 20s are in the penultimate or final year of an undergrad. Idiot boy here is in first.

I think I made myself a promise not too long ago; I will not consider myself old until I sincerely begin a sentence or rant with 'Back in my day'... or until I become an officer.
Til then I'm pretty much a brat in my own eyes; I love genesis Sonic, play games, make stupid and sometimes juvenile jokes and I don't care what people think :D.

before I made that promise I would've called myself 'old' for immediately thinking of Wordsworth and Coleridge's poem, "the idiot boy" when you wrote it on your post :3

Specially if the OP is half your own age >.>

Except for moments like that not really.

You know you're old when:

You pass an older man in the street, and instead of avoiding eye contact, he says good morning to you.

You start wearing knitwear instead of band/college hoodies.

Getting older is compulsory, growing up is voluntary.
