    it’s a sign that you’re getting old when…

    • your friends are getting married
    • your friends are having babies
    • your friends are getting married whilst having babies (yikes)
    • you remember bars by what they used to be called
    • you think that songs originals were better versions
    • you wear a coat on a night out - don’t want to get old
    • you wear gloves when on a night out - better to be safe than sorry
    • you wear a scarf when on a night out - ok, it might be super cold out there, but there’s really no excuse for that - just be safe and stay in…
    • you realise that you’ve been out of school longer than you were in it
    • you begin to forget names (and it’s not because you were drinking last night)
    • you begin to prefer to plan rather than be spontaneous, that way there’s enough time to pop to the shop to make sure that you have all of the essentials in time

    as i’m only 21 i, of course, haven’t experienced any of the above, it’s just what i imagine would happen… now where did i leave my scarf?

      Oh, shut up you little punk.
      I mean that in a nice way.
      You forgot: the places that used to grow hair don’t, and the places you don’t want to grow hair start.

      I know exactly where you’re coming from Mel, I’m feeling v old now! Although if you’re a man gloves should never be worn on a night out, no matter how old you get! I do have a couple more things I think you should add to your list as well….

      1. you forget your own age!
      2. you have your 21st Bday for the 6th time!

      I think you see what I’m getting at! :)
