What's it like being 22?

[Syringer]

Every year I feel I'm "old" by this point..at 18 I'm legally an adult, at 19 I'm out of high school and into this ever changing college world, at 20 I'm no longer a "teenager", and at 21 I'm legally able to drink and gamble..and at 22, there's no more milestones really except 30/40, soo, what now?

Well, starting a career (if you havent already), finding a wife, finding a home, etc etc

There are a lot more milestones...

But I think a lot of people who are 22-24 are adults for all effective purposes.. I consider myself an adult, and have for at least a year or so.

Dunno.. I'm 23 now and can barely remember how old I am.

Maybe being 22 is when you finish up stories?

Life calms down and people around you your own age are much less stupid

You relax, get your groove on, get over your silly fear of spiders, and go hit on some women...

Nothing beats getting married though.

22.....I'll be twenty three in may



It's all really dependant on who you are around and what your mindset.

Mine is a jumble of the immature and the mature, of thought and sloth, so sometimes I notice my age, and sometimes it really doesn't factor into what is happenign so I don't give it a second...hell...even a [first] thought

I am 23 in January... I don't really consider myself an adult, still in school, still living at home still have stupid life problems.

Mabye a meaningless integer value reflecting something as trivial as your chronological age shoudn't rule your life? :roll:

Those age milestones are artificial. You may not experience a huge difference between being 19 and 22. I recommend that you do not worry about how you should be feeling and just enjoy the ride.

After reading many of your posts, I assume you can look forward to puberty any day now.

 

[TwiceOver]

Can't remember... Turned 27 this year.`

 

[Blazin Trav]

Uh... getting a nice job, working your way up the chain? Maybe starting a ebay business on the side? Do what you want? Who cares? Get drunk and hit clubs and bars... look for a women who you can eventually trust... then the harder sh.t like bills, insurance, rent, saving, stuff like that.

What did you expect?

 

[LS20]

have real job, be a part of a real company, feel real important, get paid REAL money, really move out (sharing an apt for college is not moving out)

basically, be in the real world---the one that people told you about when you entered college

 

[LS20]

oh, and you gotta start buying everyone real gifts for xmas instead of getting away with the student excuse

So you'd hope. I still find many people "my age" who are dumb as hell.

It's like being 21, except you're a year older.

I have shoes older than you.
Heck i could be older than your parents.

No more milestones?How about when you buy your first house?

Have a child, {if you are ever that lucky}
getting a good job, doing something you like.

Take a trip to go see someplace you always wanted to go to.

Many milestones ahead, many paths to choose...........
try to choose well.

Oh and start a retirement savings account, a little money each year
starting at 22 will mean a lot more at age 55-65 etc.:thumbsup:

I should have saved from a young age.

don't forget 25 man ... year of the car insurance!

I have been 22 for the past 3 months. To be honest I'm having the time of my life. All of my friends say they feel old, but I feel young as ever knowing how much my life is gonna change when I graduate college. My only milestone to reach is earning a million dollars. I want to do it by 30, so that is why i'm not focused at all on finding a wifey. If it happens in happens. Otherwise i'm just gonna live it up entourage style.

It's all relative. I'm older than you and I feel pretty young since I've taken up cycling again. In fact, I feel younger than I have in years.

Yeah def... in my mind I "feel" young, altough my body could be in a lot better shape. When that happens i will definately feel as young as i can.

BUt like i said... you're only as young as the people you're shaggin.
