the dumb part is they're mostly 23-24

One of my friends told me, "You are so old!" and she is only 2 years younger

Yeah, but when you're 81 she'll only be 79.
 
Will be 25 in June. I've had gray hairs here and there since I was 17. Nothing else has changed though, except that I'm in better shape now than I've been in my life (except for one year in college).

And the ladies are diggin' it! As most of the post-college people gain weight and lose hair, I'm moving up the scale by staying in shape! woohoo!
 
24

Single
no social life
no hope of any sort of interesting life
no money
debts galore
white hairs are already starting to show here and there!
the blood vessels at the bottom and side of foot are starting to show purplish and black, no signs of clots...yet
no motivation to do anything or change anything at all

I'm your definition of simply surviving, not living.
The only thing I'm looking forward to is death.

There, make you feel much better about yourself yet? 😛
 
i'm 23 and i'll be 24 in a week or so.

1) family doesn't bother me with that

2) i found one the other day

3) same here

4) i never had a problem with body hair

5) i started doing this when i was 22

Of the things that have happened:

1) family friends ask when I'm getting married. my reply? since I'm not seeing anyone, that might be difficult... haha

2) I found grey hairs on my head...strange stuff

3) My facial hair seems to be growing at an incredible rate...shaving everyday now.

4) I am growing the dreaded back hair... to my amusment, I was offered my a friend to have it waxed...I decided to wait a little longer until I have to go without a shirt at some event.

5) I realized that when I do meet women, I actually have to do a marriage check...never before...what's with people these days?

anyone else have any thing happen to them?

Thanks for reminding me. (26)
if you're 25 and you're friends are less than that, they have the right to call you old. thats just how it works.

for me, 23 meant losing a lot of hair. but the weird thing is, my hair still looks the same as when i was 19. i always had a high forehad. it somehow thinner though, but no one can notice. back hair, shave it. nose hair, no, maybe i find one longer piece twice a year. white hairs = galore. it is genetic. we get it early. more tired? definitely. i remember in college i would stay up to 2am.. then catch 8:30 am class. not anymore, not even close. i hear vitamin E is good for energy
 
i found one perfectly white hair, practically clear. very creepy, i'm dying🙂

once you pass 20, best to watch what you eat and exersize, ur metabolism will slow and if ur not careful, u become lardass😉
 
Look over your shoulder, there'll be a hill there ....

Another couple years, you won't even be able to see the hill.....


It sucks to be old.

all you young people thinking you are old.

i turn 40 next january. in retrospect 25 was no big deal, 30 however was a pretty big deal, that's when i noticed that i couldn't run with high school kids on the bball court anymore, started putting on weight. . .

That's when you hit the gym so you can run through them instead of with them🙂

My birthday was on the second also, but I turned 47.

I'm 47 too,if people would stop reminding me that I'm old,most days I wouldn't know it as I have a lot of energy🙂
 
35 here, and I just started getting the gray hairs. Thankfully, my hair's not thinning, and everything still, er, seems to be working just fine.. 🙂

It's not the grey hair on the head that you have to worry about, once it starts to show up down south times up. 😉

similar to what i said above about grey hair on my head....i'm 20, i've had grey hairs down south since i was 18 or so. wtf? 😀
