Heheh...I'm never wrong on this. There's the pre-25 year old and the post-25 year old. The pre-25 year old says things like "I eat whatever I want, I have all my hair, I can stay up all night...blah blah."

Once you hit 25, you gain weight, you start losing hair, you kill yourself if you miss a night's sleep, etc.

You get the border 25 year olds says "This isn't happening to me!" Those are the ones that don't know it's happening yet :)

I actually feel better now than I used to. But that's because when I was 20, I was fat. Now I'm 24, and I'm 70 pounds less and run every day. So yeah, mine has improved.

Meh, you're lucky to start feeling old at 26. I'm only 21 and in the last year, my hairline seems to have started receding, and a few too many are falling out. Luckily I look terrible with a shaved head...

I didn't feel old till one of my neices visited.
She walked in the kitchen saying there was something wrong with my tv.
I walked in the living room and she pointed at the tv and said "look its all black and white".
The three stooges was on.
I laughed and explained that was what tv looked like 'years ago'.

I'm turning 26 in a week. I'm not talking about feeling old as in getting sad/depressed/etc. I'm actually talking about your mindset and body.

Mindset:
I remember JUST last year I would go out and hit the clubs with friends. A female friend would call me up to drink at 11pm on a weekday and I would go have few drinks, come back by 2am and go to work at 7:30am.

I would go out all the time. Not only that, I had that EAGERNESS to go out all the time, despite being tired.

Now, I'm just lazy and finding myself staying in more. I'd rather grab a good book/movie and stay home or just play games. When I do go out and find myself not having fun, I just think about how nice it would be to be in bed at home. Clubs don't interest me anymore. I just think about loud music ringing my ears and overpriced drinks that piss me off.

Body:
You know how you feel invincible health-wise when you're young? Yup I was just one of them....just until this year. This year I developed a heartburn and I can't enjoy spicey food anymore as much. I can't even drink wine as it now burns my esophogus.

Last winter, I came down with this scary scary flu. My body had this uncontrollable shake and I was COLD even in my 80 degrees room with electric blanket turned on to max. We all had our cold and flus but I never had it this bad. For the first time I felt like my invulnerable health was chipping away.

What's going on? Anyone feel the same as of late? And so suddenly?

yup, i thought i was superman. then i almost blacked out while flying in a plane. (and no, i didnt have any alcohol.)

that day on, i'm now think of myself as mortal, and will eventually die :(

i also used to play video games till midnight, and get up by 5am for work. it was like an adiction.

i'm over that adiction, unfortunately.
