30 Signs You're Almost 30

[CtownCyclone]

Saw this pop up from a few friends on Facebook and thought I'd post it here, since I think it's a decent demographic on the site (I'll be 31 in a few months).

30 Signs You're Almost 30

Number 5 definitely was a stunning realization for me.

Crap.

#15 was big for me. For years now I've kept Tums in my car and in my desk at work.

 

[Tailg8er]

Nearly none of those apply to me.

Either 26 isn't close enough, or I'm just too immature. (Probably a combination of both)

 

[CyCrazy]

Mother of gawd those are spot on.

 

[Daserop]

most of them don't apply to me. The ones that do apply, applied even when I was IN college (like the hostel one).

31. You continue to get a ****-load of hair on your ears. You can't trim it fast enough.

Hmmmmmmm a few of those applied and I do not know how to feel about that. But I've almost always wanted to "not do things" when I get home at night.

And my fb is evenly split between drunk party pics and baby pics, thank you very much!

The getting carded one doesn't really apply to me - I still get carded. I recently started rocking a beard, which made a few less people card me, but on the whole, I almost always have to pull out my ID when buying booze.

Life In Your Early Twenties Vs. Your Late Twenties

this one is pretty good too.

Anyone that didn't have a 2 day hangover before 30 wasn't partying hard enough.

I have to laugh at articles like this that make it sound like being 30 is old. If people are whining this much about 30 how much will they whine when they hit 50 ?

#16 was my moment. And you know fewer and fewer as time goes on, until your kids are teenyboppers.

A LOT!

I think a lot of more due to your job than your age. Get a couple beers in me Saturday night or Sunday afternoon, and I feel 20 all over again.

No kidding. I was just getting ready to post, "Wait until you hit 40 and think back to how young you were at 30."

I had a 3 day hangover when I was 20. Probably should have done to the hospital or not tried to drink a whole bottle of tequila.

For me, multi-day hangovers and blackouts started around 30. Before that a hangover was a one day affair at most and I rarely lost memories of entire portions of the night. But then again when I party I still party like I'm 21. Its like at some point your body doesn't process shots the way it used to, not sure if that is due to age or wear and tear on the liver.

The "two day hangover" one is great. I drank more at a wedding a few weekends ago than I had since football season and I still wasn't feeling right at lunch on Monday. To feel that awful and think back to college when I would drink just as hard on a Friday night, wake up at 4:00 Saturday afternoon and start drinking again by 8:00 is mindblowing. My how the mighty have fallen...

Or tailgating season, when you would party late on Friday and wake up a couple hours later to head to the parking lot and do it all day again. I remember that hurting even in college!

Totally agree. When your job is professional you can't go clubbing on a Tuesday night but if you work at Starbucks 2nd shift you probably can.

I never understood why priorities change in the way they do. It's a slow decline.
