Lessons You Learn In Your 30's

[NDBoiler]

Ok... fess up... if you're 30, you have at least one of these:

- Roller skated backwards with a girl to Boyz 2 Men
- Owned a Kris Kross album
- Wondered, "Who did let the dogs out?"
- Owned a pair of Reebok pumps
- Owned a Hypercolor shirt

LOL yup.

As far as music goes, the first album I remember buying with my own money was Van Halen's OU812 on cassette.

Anybody else here find Twitter, Facebook and all the "hashtag" bullshit extremely annoying? I'm 31 btw.

Biggest 30 something mistake, trying to share Voltron with my kids.... Yeah, I can't believe how bad it actually was. That show was EPIC back in the day.

 

[RDU Irish]

I regularly eat salads for lunch. Never would have happened 10 years ago. Eating one right now and loving it.

Work vs. Working Out is so f-ing true.

Voltron wasn't my thing. However, "Knowing is half the battle" and "By the power of Greyskull" both kicked ass.

Ok... fess up... if you're 30, you have at least one of these:

- Roller skated backwards with a girl to Bon Jovi, Madonna, Vanilla Ice, etc.
- Owned a Kris Kross album. Nope...but did receive a Candyman cassette as a birthday gift from a chick once.
- Wondered, "Who did let the dogs out?" I always hated that song...but it was played at all the Titans games for a couple years when they went to the Super Bowl then had best record/best defense in league next year era (yes, even better than the Ravens supposed best ever D).
- Owned a pair of Reebok pumps. Of course. Never actually owned any Jordans or Bo Jackson's though. The Barkley shoes in '93 were perhaps the best ever. Sadly, I never had those either.
- Owned a Hypercolor shirt. Hell no-- I've always had standards. ACamp had every one of the Big Johnson and No Fear shirts though.

Edited and answered.

My kids are loving Back to the Future right now. I was pumped when Biff mooched a beer off Marty's dad and it was the old school Miller Lite can, now those are back in stores and I had just stocked the beer fridge earlier that week. Oh, life's simple pleasures.

I'm 40, here is something you learn at the end of your 30's, "Damn, I'm 40? ..I cant believe the last 10 years went by SOOO fast. I hope the next 10 don't go that fast, I cant fathom hitting 50. Dang, life is short."

All but the first one.

Wtf wooly? Why'd you have to ruin yourself to us?

 

[QuarrelsomeIrishAmerican]

Just turned 26. 4 more years until I have to learn any of these right?

Oh no!! You will start getting hints in a year around 27. Your ship starts sinking around then, but doesn't hit the iceberg until 30. Beware. Start doing crossfit and taking propecia immediately, lol.

Mike Riley is shaking his head at you. He's 40 and he's a man!!

You pussies. Man up like Dshans, Boggs, OMM and myself. You'll find you enjoy life a lot better. lol

So, I'm 33 and still like to pretend I can hang on the bball courts with the 20-somethings. Despite all the working out, I will NEVER recover the 2 to 3 steps I've lost over the past few years. So discouraging! Also, eating a pizza, Taco Bell or other previously delicious meal now simply destroys my insides. Say hello to Kale my friends.

Man, so true and so sad. I too am in my early 30s now and I have to be in great shape to hoop with the 20-somethings. It's crazy to think how in college I would drink beer and eat pizza and whatever other crap I wanted at every meal and then go play hoops at Rolfs for 3 hours whenever I wanted and feel great. Now, if I take a vacation or have a busy week and get out of my workout routine, the next time I play ball I feel like I'm the only one on the court in slow motion.

 

[Emcee77]

The drinking thing is another big one. In college on football weekends I would literally drink for three straight days, sleep till 12 on Sunday and then read /study for 12 straight hours, no problem. My hangovers now are DEBILITATING. Like, I can't have more than one beer on a weeknight or I won't be able to focus at work the next day. It's crazy.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

I'm my teens and 20's I ran through walls without sleep, jumped blindly off every cliff, chugged every bottle, spent every penny, took every chance and ran myself physically and mentally ragged piling up grey memories and lessons learned.

Now, I eat fucking all-bran every morning.

I groan when my wife tells me we've been invited somewhere.

I cherish every dump I take. It's like a tiny vacation from life.

I'm actually concerned about my teeth now.

I think "teenagers these days are out of control".

I think my 21 year old brother in law, who is exactly what I was at 21, is a lazy, good or nothin mooch.

I have a weird toe-nail.

There's a random patch of back hair now.

I attempted a mustache and failed.

I am deathly afraid of hangovers at 33.

- But, the positives outweigh the negatives.

I'm married to the coolest chic and we have a handsome little dude that has altered my chemistry. He literally came into this world and instantly re-wired me.

I bust my ass working in one of the most challenging and rewarding work arenas there is.

I understand and cherish my parents much more now.

I have purpose.. Something that was lacking somewhat in my 20s.. But damn I had a good time lol.

haha... i'm with you!

 

[ACamp1900]

I laugh at the stories (from friends who were RA's) of how the RA's and campus police sat down after my friends an I left the dorms and they openly stated, "We can never have another group like that again, how do we make it stop?"

Yet, I freaking hate college kids now... they are so annoying.

And yeah, few words are worse after a hard week of work than, "Hey babe, guess who invited us over tonight?"

 

[Goldedommer44]

I am 33

Mid 20's were great. My advice, for what it's worth, is to stay single, make money and chase muff til you're 30 (at minimum).
