Good god I am old.

[Meier Link]

So this weekend is my 10 year reunion from high school. Yes 10 years has passed and it seems like just yesterday I was a prepubecent lad facing the toils of growing hair in places that I never dreamed I would.

So curious. How far out are yous guys from hitting that milestone? When did you realize you had gotten old? Why can't I spell correctly with out spell checker, is that part of being an old timer?

Given I got old at the old age of 24 when my older boy was born. Its apparent I still act like a big kid but having kids does age you faster then anything.

[The_Dream_Recluse]

This is my third year after graduating from high school and already i've become a very different person than my typical happy-go-lucky self.

I'm very bitter and confrontational in person these days. I suppose it just has to do with events and experiences that life throws at you.

[Caladbolg]

Said it on one of my introductions - Good to see this site's for the late teen / young adults I'm only 20 but I think back to some things in school and think "that was ages ago!" but I'm not grey or bald yet so I've still a few years in me

[Josh_R]

10 year reunion holy shit you are a old ass man haha.

I have only been out of HS for a short amount of time. I am not looking forward to my ten reunion, and being an oldie.

[smurphy]

Im only twenty one but recent events in the past year have made me feel really old like my younger brother entering the same college as me(it doesnt feel that long ago that I myself was a fresh faced first year) or people that I have known since I was a brat having their own brats. And I am still seven years from hitting the ten year after graduation from secondary education milestone.

I may be feeling old but at the very least now I have the confidence to deal with most situations that I wouldnt have three years ago, like talking to women or not taking sh*t from anyone.

[RamesesII]

I am about 4 years off that sort of milestone I am 6 or 7 years out of high school I don't even think of it that way anymore I think I have been full time worker for 7 years.

Yeah kids make you feel old but I still love to wrestle the kids its good fun I think having kids brings out the inner child in me more. But on the flip side they also make me more stressed and agitated which I never was I was always easy going. I am only 23 but I don't so much feel old as I do exhausted all the time and sore. I also seem to get sick more often either from catching everything from the kids or the stress has brought my immunity down most likely both haha.

I can't spell correctly either without spell checker but my excuse is because my fingers are to fast for my brain which isn't hard.

[Cereal~Killer]

I'm 23 and I started to feel old when I realized alot of people, or most even, around my age are already either: married, have a kid or two, both, or at least just settled down with a partner. Here I am with the inability to get a girl, it seems. I mean, for God's sake, I've only been with one girl I'd consider as anything like a girlfriend, and MAYBE (big maybe) a second one. Either way, it sucks. Not only does it make me feel old, but also behind in life. I know when you really look at it, I'm not necessarily behind, and it's just most people in today's society are in a rush it seems, but...still.

I know 23's not old, but I sure don't feel like the young careless person I used to be just a few years ago.

[Lily]

Urgh, Im already past it....

I dont think Il ever feel old though, Im still 15 in my head, I think I always will be, though Ive noticed things that old people do creep up on me more over the years....

Plus, Im not half as interested in going out and partying it up in town as I used to be either...

Can't even remember half the people I went to school with any more either..

And Ive got a couple of random grey hairs

At least I still look about 12 years old ):

[Squall]

Got a ways to go; just graduated in June. With the way time flies, my 10 year reunion will be here before I know it.

[Xanatos]

It's been four years since I got out of highschool, part of me is still that childish geek I used to be, though I definitely became more mature. My views on certain things have drastically changed, as well as my taste, despite all that I don't feel old one bit because unlike some of you old farts "cough"Meier"cough" I'm not =D.

[Robbo]

i'm 17 so uhh yeah, why do i talk to all of you old fogies









You know i love you all really.

[Elise]

It's been two years since I graduated high school. I felt old last April when my teen years ended, and I felt even older when I started thinking how half of my youth has passed by turning 20 haha

I think I'm mature for my age, which makes me feel quite old sometimes, my closest friends are several years older than me, 24, 25, even thirties. I just don't relate to the things and general interests of people my age, maybe I'm just boring, but I don't mind being so, I try to develop my geekiness =)

I definitely still have a childish behavior that will never die, but I don't let it dominate =)

[Tallulah]

I can beat you all (probably); I'm 28. So yeah, it would have been about 10 years since I finished the equivalent of high school, perhaps a bit more.

We don't tend to do official reunions in the UK, but some of my friends went to a reunion of sorts, because our old school building is going to be pulled down next month. I couldn't go, because I live in a different city, and I had work.

[Rocky]

my 5 year reunion is coming up I guess sometime this year? I feel a lot more alpha then I did back when I was in high school, but I know I still have a long ways to go! It shall be an interesting time to see old faces. If I'm not in a relationship at the time, I'm going to make it my goal to have a one night stand with some girl I had a crush on that still is looking fine.

BTW when do these reunions usually take place?

[Azuteor]

I'm going to be 20 when my birthday comes around next month. Not as exciting as hitting the big 21, but watching my aunt and uncle's kids grow up is making me feel old. Unfortunately, I don't think my high school does high school reunions. (;¬_¬)

Errr ummmm. I think I still have you beat at 29 pushing 30 hahaha. Mine should of been earlyier this year but seeinf we are the class of 2001 we are extreamly lazy and put stuff off til the last minute.

[Tallulah]

Errr ummmm. I think I still have you beat at 29 pushing 30 hahaha.

Oh, thank goodness! I don't feel so old now. It's just that most of my co-workers (bar a couple of the managers, and the token grumpy guy who works in the kitchen) are so much younger than me.

I was talking to my friend the other day, we were remembering stuff from when we were kids. I was moaning that I was really old, and he was like: "I'm the same age as you!" (I though he was a couple years younger). I felt so much better after that.

I also spotted quite a few grey hairs in recent months, but since I chucked my ex out, they've stopped appearing...

[Sakaea]

I'm 23, I graduated HS 5 years ago, and graduated college almost a year ago, with 2 degrees. However, I can't find a job, and sometimes I think about how I spent so long in college, and am out of work, and it makes me feel effing ancient. Seriously. Laugh if you want, I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth.

High school was forever ago, but I enjoy all the same things, and am engaged to my HS sweetheart. So, forever ago, and just yesterday, all at the same time...

[Judge Magistrate]

Well, I'm only one year out of High School, and I feel old. Some of my cousins are still in school, and it's really weird for me to be done with them still doing it. I'm only 18 so, I guess I'm definitely not the oldest person here heheheh.

[Halie]

I still have ten years before I hit that mark lol. I only finished High School in June.

Now that I'm carrying on with College and stuff, I actually feel extremely young compared to all the older people who are on my courses at college. But at sixth form, I feel a lot more mature because most of the people in my year haven't grown up yet, and don't seem like they will any time soon. I guess I'm still finding my feet.

[Furore]

Been roughly four years since I finished my education and I've been working full time the past few years.

I feel kind of old myself much of the time, but the thing that does it the most is I don't share a passion for many of the things most my age seem to be into - not into speeding, I greatly prefer the pub to a club, all the incessant gossiping annoys the crap out of me and I'm not into blowing every cent I earn on a weekly basis.

[Taco-Calamitous]

I have like a year and a half to go before my 10 year reunion, I think. Graduated in '03. I still am friends with the same people I was friends with in High School though, so I dunno if there will be a lot of point in going. Although I guess there will be people who have been gone from town who will go to it, so maybe it would be worth it to see them again. And tell them how successful I am! ...

I do feel old sometimes, but whenever I mention it around people who are older than me, they're all like, "Shut up! You're not old!" At work a lot of times, I am the youngest by far too, so that helps. Just surround yourself with old people, Meier and Tallulah. You will feel young.

Speaking of anniversaries, I've been at these forums for ten years as of earlier this month... That's too long. I'm leaving. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

I am 22, and finished my equivalent of High School 6 years ago. Being in my early 20s, I'm not near that fabled milestone, however when I see that a lot of people my age feel that a good night out involves getting so intoxicated that they get abusive, piss themselves, shag a hedgehog, then can't remember any of it in the morning (ok, maybe there is some exaggeration there), I feel that I have skipped a few years in life! At the same time, however, I have been going to a few cosplay conventions, where some people upon hearing the age of myself and one of my friends I go with, am presented with "Wow, you're old!"

It is that funny age, where I am a lot more mature than my peers in some ways, but in other ways I am very immature. Like Cereal~Killer said, a lot of people are settling down in their early 20s. I really can't think of anything worse at this stage in my life, but it works well for some people. I graduated University last year with a 2.1, however I am stuck working in a crappy cleaning job at a sports club full of pretentious, rich snobs and managers who seem to believe that cleaners are sub-human. It seems that in some ways I have been moving forward in life, but in other ways, not so much.

[The Doctor]

When I first heard of the construction of the Large Hadron Collider. Funny that, seems like such a small thing, but it is the small differences all clumped together that tell me I'm old. There seem to be more, every day. It's a welcome change, change is always good, even when I'm not involved.

[Tiffany]

Pfft, I've got people beat so far who have posted on here. I'll be turning 33 in February.

I'm still not the oldest on here, there's a few more older than me.

[Unknown Entity]

I'm only nineteen, but I feel old - one of the DMs at work is only twenty-three, and she said she feels old too. ._.

I finished secondary school three years ago, finished college two years ago. Not sure which is high school.

[Michael Swayne]

I graduated high school in 2005. I am currently 24.75 years old (well, in 4 days I will be that). I may be older than some of the people here, but I don't feel old.

I found that exercise and proper diet keep my body young. Learning constantly, puzzles and video games keep my brain young, and surrounding myself with older people make me feel young.

I am the second youngest employee at the paper. But the youngest employee is constatly complaining of feeling old. She hasn't slept a full night since the birth of her child.

There are some moments when I feel my age. It's usually when the bills are due. If things in my life hadn't gone how they did (read the first entry of my journal), I would still be living with my parents. I have had to grow up in a short amount of time because of these events.

Want to know something funny? My sister and I did those "How is your body?" quizzes that tells you, based on your diet, exercise, and activities, how old your body is. Well, my body is currently still 17, while my sister's is 41. My sister has only just now turned 20.

Im 28 too ):

My old school building is coming down soon as well, my friend mentioned a reunion last night but i was too busy thinking about curry <_<

[ILoveSquats]

Thank heavens I'm not the only one that's older than 25 here...

I was thinking of writing my age as 22 - but then again, a) that would be lying, and 2) one actually do like getting older because of the life experience and all.. cheesy at it might sound. Anyway I work/ study/ hang around with a lot of younger people, and I really love them - they do keep me sane on this "overly grown up" planet.

[Clint]

Let's see, I got out of high school in 1947. I'd say I'll hit my milestone in another twenty to twenty-five years. I'm getting kind of old, so it's understandable.

What keeps me young, however, is having sex with wife, who is forty years younger than I.
