Know Your Age!!!

Has anyone ever told you to "act your age?" It can be an unfair remark to smack someone with. I mean seriously, what is the correct way to behave in the years since you came weeping out of your mom's vagina? Let's take a look starting around puberty:

13-16 years old:
What can I say...you know it all. Be bold and take some risks. Make some youtube videos of you and your friends jumping into lakes or swallowing a spoon full of cinnamon. You'll soon find out that similar to getting tazed, life can sometimes sting...but you knew that already, right?

17-20 years old:
So you've learned that being stupid isn't always fun. Now that you realize you know a little less than everything, I welcome you to the age of experimentation and discovery. These are the years that you really start learning about society and conceptual theories. You're still inexperienced overall, but all the knowledge crammed into your brain inflates your ego with a puffed-up confident competence.

21-24 years old:
How many fingers am I holding up? If you're not drunk now, I'll bet you have plans to be later. You've probably got amounting stress in your life and are in the phase when you enjoy occasionally cutting loose from your responsibilities. These should be some of the best years of your life. You're smart, don't have too many responsibilities, and you finally have some money to burn. Get ready...because the closer you get to 24, the more you'll see that all of those small responsibilities you've been ignoring have grown into a huge quarter-life crisis of unsure direction and instability. School's over. Welcome to the real world.

25-28 years old:
Life isn't as bad as you once projected, right? With a properly modest sense of competence and a few years of real life experience under your belt, you should be appreciating the huge varieties our world has to offer. By now you should have discovered that the best steak and eggs don't come from the Denny's kitchen. Who knew that there was more to drink than just tequila? Oh yea, and all of the weddings you've been attending really pummels the marriage bug in your gut.

29-32 years old:
I can't really comment here because I'm not quite that old. Yep...I'm still vibrant, resilient, and youthfully energetic. I've still got a while to go before I get over the hill, but I'll give you a quick skim of what I've noticed. It's the time for drastic fashion changes (from different hair styles to a whole new wardrobe).

Truth is that your age doesn't matter just as long as you are happy. Don't ever let other people's opinions bring you down. Make everything a strength. Have a great weekend! =)
