We spend a lot of time here at Post Grad Problems discussing how college was the best four years of our lives and how life after college sucks. We talk about how we’re getting older and how our alcohol tolerance is getting lower. We write about how we’re too poor to do anything fun, but still too full of life to resign ourselves to watching Netflix seven nights a week. And honestly, there are a lot of things that we’re getting too old to do, including sleeping on a futon on a regular basis.
I’ve been thinking though, and there is a silver lining to your twenties. Being in your twenties means that you’re still too young to do some stuff, and for that you should be grateful. For instance, you’re still too young for :
- Hearing aids.
- Large print books.
- Eating dinner at 4:00pm.
- Grandchildren.
- Grey hairs (hopefully).
- Oldies.
- Gardening.
- AM Radio.
- Antiquing.
- AARP.
- Bird watching.
- Going to sleep at 8:30pm.
- Front porch swinging.
- Playing bridge.
- Collecting coins.
- Knitting.
- Oxygen tanks.
- Driving below the speed limit.
- Arthritis.
- Soap operas.
- Stair lifts.
- Dentures.
- Weekly pill boxes.
- Senior discounts.
- Bifocals.
- Elastic pants.
- Writing a will.
- Getting a job as a Wal-Mart greeter.
- LifeCall Medical Alerts.
- Colonoscopies.
Cialis.
I went to bed at 8:30pm 2 days ago. It was awesome.
never too young to eat dinner at 4 PM. and then again at 9.
that’s just called the “pre-dinner” chipotle. Very common in these parts here
The day I drive below the speed limit is the day I drive myself into a lake to drown myself.
On the other hand…some of this would make life easier.
AM radio = sports talk radio. Its what gets me through the work day. Most of my guys friends listen to some form of sports talk radio.
Oxygen tanks are acceptable when diving.
When your company supports construction and you have to work they’re schedule, you’re up by 5 at the latest. Going to bed at 8:30 can sound pretty damn good sometimes.
Hey, I like AM radio and sitting on my back porch watching the cows as the sun comes up and I’m only 29!!
you have a porch?
Yes. I live in the country.
