1. My quarter life crisis is just around the corner (that’s at 25 for all you fraction phobics).
2. I can no longer sing the lyrics of Wheatus’ – Teenage Dirtbag without shuddering with guilt at the fact that am no longer a teenager.
3. My first silver hair has sprung out of nowhere, hopefully it doesn’t get a neighbour anytime soon.
4. I’m now eligible to start using wrinkle creams (atleast that’s what the drugstore is saying).
5. Getting asked for ID at clubs and pubs is greatly lessening.
6. Drinking does not do a body good.
7. 32 is not the new 23. I may not be a teen but I’m no old crow just yet!
8. Getting giddy about buying new curtains for the bathroom marks the loss of my youthfulness.
9. By this stage in life you’re either fresh back from travelling and stuck in an office job or dead in a ditch (from travelling or having enough of your office job).
10. I now get money and vouchers as birthday presents instead of fun days out and colouring pencils.
11. All my colleagues at work are atleast double my age.
12. Trying to figure out the necessity of a pension is like trying to figure out the necessity of wasps in our lives (they don’t make honey)!
13. My friends are now either engaged, married or popping out their second child (first one being due to an accidental teenage pregnancy).
14. Being single at this age scares my aging parents.
15. I’ve finally came to the realisation that I’m not going to grow any taller.
16. Too young to be taken seriously by men in suits, too old to be taken seriously by youths.
17. Education never prepared me for the conditioning needed to skilfully brew the perfect cuppa for the work colleagues.
18. The parents miss me but not as much as they use to. (Tears of sadness when I left for uni at 18, tears of joy when I leave after visits at 23).
19. If I was a tree I’d have 23 rings!
20. If I was a dog I’d be 〖94〗_2^1 years old!
21. If I was a cat I’d be dead.
22. 23 in French is ‘vingt-trois’ (vahn-twah)!
23. Age is but a number!
