I just turned 20 on May 5th, and I am looking forward to it. I just moved out permanently, in a year I will be able to legally buy alcohol, and I have a good job. I want to age until I am 23 or 24, then stop. Living alone is fun.

I feel like I've been 26 forever. Honestly, my 20's have seemed strange to me because I've been living much older than I am since I got out of college. Its weird to me that I'm starting a family when most of my friends are in grad school and still living with their parents.
My 20s have been such a time of transition that I'm looking forward to 30. Posts: 1777 | Registered: Jan 2003

27 years, 4 months, and 25 days. It seems like just last year I was 24. And 30 is coming up far to fast for my liking.

I just turned 23 and then moved home for the summer, and every thing I've done has reminded me how extraordinarily old I am. I've lived in Montana for ten years, half of which has been at college. I'm a leader for girls camp, and the 13-year-olds I was looking forward to being the older-sister model to were born in 1991.
Have I been old for awhile and just don't notice it while I'm in school? Does this just keep getting worse?

You're 23? My goodness, I'm just wrong all over the place today. I thought you were way younger than me.

I'm 33. When I graduate, I'll be 35. I've done this calculation so often in my head, that I've started thinking of myself as 35, since that's when the next "real" phase of my life will start.
Probably not a good habit to get into. Enjoy your mid-20s. Then enjoy your late 20s. Then you early 30s.
Just have a good time, and enjoy whatever stage of your life you happen to be in. People slow down their partying because the want to, so don't worry about it.

btw Vana, could you e-mail me your phone number again? I'm probably going to be running to Rockford next Tuesday evening to drop off dogs and if you are free we could maybe have a quick dinner or desert somwhere. (I ate at Beef A Roo for the first time a while back and their shakes are quite good!)

Ela, I'm not really sure myself. Just giving people (myself included) another reason to mutter "What a weirdo" I guess.

I'm only 28, and I already feel decrepit...
Of course, that no doubt has something to do with feeling the weather in my joints already. (No kidding! )

Why is our clique the only one that's being invaded? Guess they're just jealous that they're not a part of it. Posts: 609 | Registered: Apr 2003

I'm just happy to part of a Hatrack clique besides Lurkers Anonymous. Not that there is such a clique...though, if there were, I don't think anyone would know it.

You're not a true lurker anymore though Megan because I recognize you now. And I've seen some of your hilarity on threads like "Adjacent Thread Titles" and the like.
But, do you guys notice how many age groups are trying to be like us by forming their own cliques? Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, isn't it?

Rats! And I had this whole cool, lurking-in-the-shadows-type image thing going. Ah, well. Next thing you know, I'll actually break 500 posts! Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

It hit me on the way home from visiting the in-laws this week that, by my age, my mother already had two kids and a mortgage.
In three and a half years from my age, my mother would have her third - and last - child. Her destiny was set, her self-identity cemented, and she spent the rest of her life as 'mom', wife and (for the most part) homemaker.
And I have not a flargin' clue what I want to do with my life.
It's... you know. Weird. And stuff.

Yeah. For me the weird part is that both my brother and sister started dating their significant others by my age. Sometimes I worry that I won't find That Person for many more years (though I try not to worry that I'll never find him!).
