How to Know If You’re Getting Old

I had heard of this happening, but I never believed it was true. I thought it was just a myth that bitter people made up. But it’s true! People get older! You graduate college and you’re over the hill. Soon you’re working a full time job and the highlight of your day is finding a chocolate covered Oreo that you forgot you had.

I know this is a very frightening thought to have. And now you’re asking yourself, “Could I possibly be getting old?!” I have listed a few signs below to help you determine if you may be past your prime.

You can’t drink like you used to.

In your better days you would take 5 shots play a round of beer pong and party the night away. Then wake up the next day and do it all over again, maybe even get some day drinking in. But now in your old age, you simply cannot hang. You wake up the next morning swearing that you are going to die due to your massive hangover. Your promise yourself that you will NEVER drink again (and we all know that that’s just crazy talk)

You consider getting dinner with friends “going out”

Dinner used to be the part of the night where you get a few drinks in you to warm you up for a night of hard core clubbing. But now, you’re buzzed after half a glass of wine and ready for bed by 9. Dinner should by no means be considered the main attraction of your evening, unless you live in a convalescent home of course.

So don’t let your youth pass you by while you’re sitting there doing responsible things. Drink like you’re a 17 year old who doesn’t know any better and black out like you’re still a freshman in college. I know you have it in you.
