11 Things That AGE You
Age is just a number, right? Well, I guess that's technically true. But age is much a number as it is a set of actions and behaviors. You may only be 33, but if you're sending emails from hotmail, people will assume you're over 50. So if you're tryna stay young in behavior, even if that number is getting up there, try avoid doing these things. Alternatively, own your age, because you're fabulous during any decade!
1. Putting your glasses on the tip of your nose
My parents said that they woke up one day and suddenly couldn't see the words on a menu. Getting reading glasses is nothing to be ashamed of. Hell! They can even look fierce AF.
But if you're walking around with those glasses on the tip of your nose all day long, you're gonna look like a fool, a very old fool.
2. Dumping out your change purse and counting out exact change
Obviously, I wouldn't hit a human being, but people who count out the exact change are the WORST! Nobody's getting any younger, including you. So get a move-on and pay with a card like the rest of society. Side-note: If the person behind you is super annoying, I fully support your decision to pay with exact change.
3. Driving 10 miles under the speed limit
There's safe driving. Then there's old-timey-annoying driving. Driving this slow falls in the latter camp.
4. Constantly complaining about the room temperature
You're too hot. You're too cold. You're too sweaty. STOP! Clearly, no perfect temperature exists for you. So find a comfortable temperature and stick to it. If you need to adjust, grab a sweater or take off a layer.
5. Not knowing the names of anyone famous
You don't have to read "People" magazine every morning, but stop referring to George Clooney as "the man with the gray hair. You know? The one who was single for a long time. What's-his-face?" My favorite line goes something like: "That movie with that guy who's married to that girl. You know the one?"
6. Playing lots of golf
I'm not hating on golf, but how many young people are out on the course every day? Exactly!
7. Carrying off-brand hard candies in your purse
Could you at least upgrade to Jolly Ranchers? Where in the world are y'all getting this candy?! Do you make it at home? An antique store?
8. Eating dinner at 4pm
The sun's still shining brightly! I get saving money on an early-bird special, but this is just way too freakin' early!
9. Talking about chain restaurants as if they're fine dining
Only those from a different generation say things like, "I just went to this really incredible Italian restaurant. Have you heard of 'The Olive Garden'?"
10. Saying the phrase, "When I was a young"
Youth is a state of mind!
11. Super Skinny Eyebrows
You know, that sad thin line that many women draw across their forehead. Ya, don't do that. Thick eyebrows are in and they are bold and youthful!
At the end of the day, be as young or old as you wanna be. We'll still love ya for being you...
