Wonder what it feels like when we're 55? 65? Older?

What's truly shocking is that college, for me, ended TWENTY-FIVE years ago. When did I get to be 47? I've known my DH over 20 years. It IS truly bizarre.

As an aside, when looking up the show on IMDB, she was beyond appalled that mainstream television had on it a car with the confederate flag painted on it, and they were the good guys. Times sure have changed.


HAHA!

this made me think of trying to explain to a young lady a few years ago what Welcome Back Kotter was. another young coworker would call...excuse me text or email off from work so often that i called her Juan Epstein. thus, the Kotter explanation. she was born in 1986

Some days I still feel like a 17 year old girl. I was looking at some pictures of family vacations this summer and the picture of all the aunts and uncles and cousins at the beach. I looked at the pictures of the 15-17 year old nieces I have in their bathing suits and from behind, they looked like me....30 years ago. The dumpy woman standing next to them? Was really me.

I am in my 30s. I totally relate to this. My husband is a college professor, and his students didn't know of Pearl Jam.

I remember listening to them on a cassette tape that my sister's high school boyfriend gave me, the summer before they went big.

Yes. Both of my parents died within the past three years, which hit me very hard. Most days I don't feel old, but I certainly have moments.

Yes! And I'm not as old. It just seems way too soon to already be in 2012!

The worst is that a 21 year old was born in 1991!

Gosh, I'm old...and I thought it would never be "my turn" to say that (I always heard that from other people).

Yes! Watching Clinton on TV last night... hard to believe he was elected 20 years ago! One of the women in my office said she was 2 when he got elected- and I was in college! When did life start to move so fast??? (I'm 38.)

Ten years ago?...I don't think as far back in 1992 - more like late 90s.

Seriously, it seems for the last 5 years, I have been mentally stuck in the year 2007.

That was the year before I got married...wonder if that has something to do with it
