Woohoo! [Big Grin]

Old enough to remember the 80's pretty well, young enough to still have our youth. Old enough to be treated as an adult, young enough to toss in some immaturity.

Sign me up. I'm the middle of the mid-20s as we speak. (and even scarier as I post this month I'm in the middle of the middle of my mid-20s too)

...unless people still think you're in high school and a significant number of your friends jokingly call you "Mom" and tell you how old you are.

Silly afr. Can you 'let loose' with few worries? Do you still hang out with friends on a regular basis? Stay up late some nights, but not every night?

You can be an honorary Mid-20's Hatracker!

AFR,

Just a thought:

As someone who has been there, early 30's (or mid-twenties) are NOT a place to BE.

They are a place you are passing THROUGH on your way to somewhere older.

[Evil]

Have a great day!

Everyone knows that your life begins and ends with your undergrad. This is just a pathetic attempt by you graduates to recapture the good times before slipping into the dreary reality that will be your 30s.

I refuse to join your clique.

I don't know about that - I enjoyed my 30's. The 40's are good, too, though. [Smile]

My 20's were honestly not my best years.

I say good-bye to my 20s in less than two months. Surprisingly, it hasn't really effected me. At least, not yet. [Angst]

I'm 30. And I've noticed that the last few posts are by people who aren't in their 20's. People, I think we can take them. It's time for a revolution of the mid-20's clique! Throw off your walkers and Depends and come on!

I'm turning 30 next year. I have a mortgage, a wife, a car, and a fetus. And yet I'm strangely happy -- and besides a few creaks in the morning, have yet to feel ancient or out of touch. Heck, I even buy CDs of modern music. So who knows?

Sunuen: [Razz]

I was not entirely sad to leave my 20s. Like Tom, I am already living the life of a 30-year-old. Might as well have the numbers to prove it. The 20s was for B.A. degrees and getting married. It served its purpose.

Space Opera, it's funny how rarely I run into people who are within a year of my age. Ever since high school, it seems like everyone our age vanished. I don't know what happened to them. [Confused]

30 didn't bother me a bit. 33, on the other hand.....

And now I'm quickly moving out of the mid 30s into the upper 30s, and life just goes on.

advice for robots,

I know what happened to them. Remember the big hair of the late 80s and early 90s? The amount of hairspray used killed of at least 2/3 of the women. The men, once they discovered that the trend of women taking 4 hours to do their hair was over were so happy that they ran around leaping in joy, which promptly made 2/3 of them die of heart attacks from second-hand hairspray ingestion.

26 in september and feel like I'm going on 46. Guess the back surgery, receding hair line, and stupid wife will do that to you. But I do still get together with friends some weekends and stay up till 4:00 am drinking beer and playing Halo, so I guess I haven't completely abandoned my 20's.

You know, I loved my 20s, but so far I've loved my 30s even more. I've really lucked out--every decade seems to be better than the last for me.

Bok: You're still mid-20's for this summer =)

(BTW, "20's" is probably totally incorrect. If this bothers you, pretend I wrote "20s" instead)

Noemon, I've liked my 30's the best as well. I'm trying to be optimistic about my 40's, but it's hard.

I would also like to point out that someone who is in their mid-20's can't remember the 80's all that well. Remembering the cartoons of that decade doesn't really count.

Actually, the very middle of the twenties would be 24 and a half. (I'm just ticked that I'm too old to belong so I have to be nit picky.)

I expect that my 40s will be quite a bit of fun. I'm a little leery of entering my 50s, but that's still a good 18 years away, so I'm not worrying about it quite yet.

I turn twenty-seven in about, well, really soon.

Twenty-seven.

And, yeah, I know it isn't all that old, but it seems way too old to be where I am right now.

beat, I had no idea that you were less than a year older than me. Although, given my generally oblivious nature, it should really be more of a surprise when I do know how old people are.
