As we get older, a lot of things have changed, a lot of it. I feel I am already in my 40s due to stress from all over the place and I am only in my tender age of 26. They say life in the 20s will be the foundation of your real adult life once you reached your thirties.
Before I throw my cane and yell at you to get off my lawn, here are the major things that I experienced and observed after I hit the "Young Adulthood" stage.
Time goes faster for some reason
Remember back in our elementary days when we wait anxiously for the day's dismissal? we hate it but one day for an adult is not enough to accomplish something. Even if you do something productive and practical there are times one day is not enough. Even if you sleep for a good 8 hours you think you only had 4 hours of sleep. Time is literally running fast for some reason.
It's All About Nostalgia
You will feel this many times, especially if you are listening to some music from your era. Every generation has its own fad, likes and memes. Younger generation thinks our old favorites is not as good as the current ones, but to us, there are the greatest things ever.
Young girls are looking younger.... and sluttier than before
Is it me or the younger generation is more liberated than before? there are even lingerie catered for girls below 10 years old for god sake! There are more cases of teenage pregnancy and doing the sexy time on their partners and with complete strangers. I can't even tell a young girls age nowadays because their looks and actions baffle me.
Douchebags and Internet Tough Guys everywhere... even outside of the Internet
Because of the anonymous nature of the Internet, there are a few people who will act, well, total douchebags, like they are the greatest person ever. Unfortunately, like every generation there are some of them act worse in real life, probably powered by their Internet persona. You can see them wearing outrageous attires, doing those ridiculous poses with their hands, pucking up their lips for the pictures and saying slangs that should stay in the message boards.
Friday and Bed
We are all excited for Friday since it's the beginning of the weekend. There are times that you and your friends will go out at Friday night, but most of the time, probably being burned out and anxious of getting a good night weekend rest, you tend to go home a little earlier. Back in our younger days we are invincible, body full of alcohol and stay up till morning but now, you just want to go home and get some good zzzs.
Wearing semi formal attires and suits are awesome
I admittedly hate wearing long sleeves and suits back then. It feels not right and rather wear a shirt or at least a polo barong. Now you can look good and have a higher level of confidence while wearing suits. There is something of getting old and wearing this kind of clothes that enhances your overall self.
You can improve your life with all the crap you went through
Ever since you were brought out from this world, you will face problems like your first heartbreak after you found your first puppy love. If you survived and not became an emo scumbag while growing up, you can use all your lessons you learned while maintaining a sane and productive life.
Getting older is obviously a part of life, lets just make the best out of it and have a good life, even if we start crapping our pants indiscriminately due to senile age and throwing canes to kids who wants to frolic around our lawn.
