It's actually "I'm so happy that I am a" ;)

Ok, I know some people will roll their eyes at some of these, but they're what makes me feel old.

- I'm starting to talk about things that happened 10 years ago.

- My cousins starting frosh and senior year of HS!

Eh, I'll add more later.

Some of the kids I babysat are graduating college this year.

Oh, please!
Ya'll complaining about feeling old at, what, age 27?
My DH turned 58 this summer.
He complains about feeling old.....and his 94-year-old father rolls his eyes like a teenager!!:p

My littlest brother had his first day of college today at my alma mater. I helped move him in last week and seeing how much campus has changed made me feel old. Then I remembered it had be 15 years since MY freshman year...some really fantastic friendships were forged in my college years!

My Alumnae Chapter had our first event on Saturday. I was asking one of the new girls if she had filled out a form to join, yet. She replied, "Yes, ma'am." I live in the South and am not bothered in the least when someone calls me "ma'am", but for some reason, it really hurt at an alumnae event!

I just found my Gameboy over the weekend (yes, the old huge grey one).

I showed it to my goddaughter (who has Nintendo DS now of course) and told her 'this is what Nintendo DS was like when I was a kid."

She looked at it as if it were soe sort of ancient artifact.

lol I have the original DS. She'd probably look at mine almost the same way.

I get called Ms. tld221 at this new job. I teeter between looking like a college student and like the mother of a college student, depending on what I wear and what I'm talking about.

My youngest brother-8 years apart-calls me a fossil. I've been upgraded from a rock (when i was 21 and he was... 13?)

Rock, fossil... I ask him what happens when i turn 26 in October, he says "you just gonna turn into dust. I feel sorry for you." :eek:

tld221 08-23-2010 04:19 PM

oh! and when i go to concerts of "old school" acts and know all the words to songs that came out "way back when."

Kinda like in Music and Lyrics, when Hugh Grant plays that has-been 80s pop singer... i'll totally be that girl 10 years from now with BSB/NSync, etc. Man, i am SO down for an 80s baby reunion-type show. SO DOWN.

On another note: i said something was "played out" on t.witter and has to ask, "hmm, i bet saying phrases like "played out" is played out."

I feel old when I realize I've had friends for 20 years and my husband and I have known each other for 12. We're young, but those things make me feel old. Oh and the fact that all my old relatives are on fb yet I've had it since it "became available to my college"

AZ-AlphaXi 08-23-2010 05:23 PM

Ha! you'll don't know what old is ... my son graduated from college in May and my husband and I will have been married 26 years in Sept. And I pledged 40 years ago this month!!

XAntoftheSkyX 08-23-2010 05:27 PM

Next month is the 8 year anniversary of claiming straightedge.

When I was in college, centennials for NPHC organizations seemed SO FAR AWAY.

Incoming freshmen (Class of 2014) will have missed two centennials and will experience FOUR!

I have multiple lipsticks from a manufacturer where the color doesn't show through the lid, and I have to put on my reading glasses to see the name of the color on the bottom. It doesn't help that the light in the room where I put on my makeup is jacked up and I need to replace it.

My baby sister starts college in less than 2 weeks.

I turned 30 3 months ago.

I found a grey hair in my eyebrow.

I remember seeing the "classics" in the movie theaters.

My senior year of high school, gas was less than a buck a gallon.
