I found this list online a few weeks ago. I thought it was a little funny, somewhat thought provoking and a little stupid. Some I have never done, some I am definitely still doing and some I have already left in my mid twenties. For those of you born in 1980/1981 here is a checklist for you!
- 1. Buying clothes from the junior section. Hate to admit it--still hit that section sometimes. It's more economical
- Forgetting her parents’ birthdays. Would not ever forget--October 19th and February 16th
- Making out with her BFFs at bars for attention. Umm--no thanks, not ever.
- Making out with her boyfriend at bars for attention. Again, no thanks.
- Filling her bed with stuffed animals (really, even one is too many). Between Bert, Bridget and sometimes Loulie, my bed is already a little full but Holley Dog is upstairs in my closet.
- Carrying a torch for anyone she hasn’t seen in the last five years. Can't even validate this with an answer
- Rebelling against her parents for the sake of rebelling against her parents. Never did this--love them, they're the best!!!
- Declaring an entire gender “all jerks.” Again, never.
- Holding a grudge against anyone who wronged her in high school. No, I think the fact that they are probably in jail is resolution enough for me.
- Skipping regular gyno exams. No comment
- Going to bed without washing and moisturizing her face. Are you kidding?--My skin is the one thing I am paranoid about now. I actually just splurged on my first old lady product--a DDX Revolver.
- Being “that person” who had a bit too much to drink at the office party. Did this once at 23, never again.
- Crushing on Justin Bieber. More like Taylor Lautner and turning 30 or 40 0r 60 will not change mine and Taylor's relationship ;)
- Thinking she’s got it all figured out. I daily wake up trying to remember my own name. I would never make this claim.
- Calling her father “daddy.” What would you have me call him, Big Tom?
- Engaging in sibling rivalry. Peaks and valleys on this one.
- Trying to get by on her looks. Don't think I would have gotten very far even in my early 20s
- Living paycheck to paycheck. This is not an age issue--it's a 2010 issue.
- Expecting a man/knight in shining armor to swoop in and save her.
- Aimlessly jumping from job to job.
- Using MySpace to pick up guys. Strange and dangerous
- Expecting a man to do all the wooing.
- Wishing she had someone else’s life. Is it so wrong to envy Kate Middleton?
- Expecting everyone to drop everything because it’s her birthday ...
- ... or because her “boyfriend” of two weeks dumped her.
- Measuring her self-worth by a number on the scale.
- Being cheap. Or you could call it thrifty
- Quitting a job without having a new one lined up first (especially in this economy!).
- Blaming her mother for all her issues. I blame Obama.
- Romanticizing her 20s. Hmmmmm
