In This Thread, We Talk About Things That Make Us Feel Old
- My baby sister started high school today. I vividly remember when she was born, and now she's all grown up
- In 2 weeks, I'll be closer to 30 than I am to 20 
- I'm getting an awful lot of deference at frat events
- I'm starting to get invitations for my 10 year high school reunion
- I start a lot of sentences with "back in my day..."

My baby brother is going into 10th grade.
My baby cousin, who was 3 or 4 when I moved here, graduated from HS in May.
I went back for Homecoming, and my first composite was referenced as "that old composite over the couch." It's from 2005.
The fact that this year's college freshmen are class of 2014 and were born in like, 93.
Another baby cousin who was 5 when I moved here, now has TWO kids of her own. (Yikes).
I start to look at baby brother's female friend's outfits/FB pics/etc. and think they're inappropriate.
I see freshmen on campus and they look to me like they still belong in 7th grade.
The fact that a girl who graduated with me has a daughter going into first grade.

* There are food labels I can't read no matter what if I have my contacts in.
* My youngest sister turns 40 this year
* Hearing about anything to do with my sorority chapter, and realizing they could easily be making fun of us just like we did the ladies in the 60's and 70's composites. So what if we wore massive shoulder pads and spackled on makeup?

My baby sister also started her first day of high school today.
I'm watching all the freshmen appear on campus and wonder if I used to look that wide-eyed, naive, and needlessly enthusiastic.
I'm not even that old. I just -feel- old.

I took my baby to college on Saturday. Where did all that time go?
My oldest son has been married now for over a year, and now I'm looking forward to a grandchild... YIKES!
I don't feel old, but I am old! Never thought I'd be old....
I still remember the door chants, so at least my memory is still good.

It's actually "I'm so happy that I am a"
Ok, I know some people will roll their eyes at some of these, but they're what makes me feel old.
- I'm starting to talk about things that happened 10 years ago.
- My cousins starting frosh and senior year of HS!
Eh, I'll add more later.

- When I bring up some of my favorite artists/music videos/movies to young bucks, I'm told that "I'm into old school music/movies"
- I say "young bucks"

My favorite songs from middle school and high school are referred to as old school by Baby Brother.
You know, he asked me who Puff Daddy and Mase were the other day. Eep.
Also, the fact that my younger cousins know who justin Timberlake is, but they don't know that he started out in a boy band.
