14 Things That Start To Happen When You’re Almost 30

It all started when I was reading an article about the “signs you were born in the 80s”. The fact that I could relate entirely to it startled me: I realized it, I was turning 30. I was a grown up with the good and the bad. Here are a few signs you’re approaching 30 too!


1. You read an article about the 20 Snacks Every Lebanese 90s Kid Binged On and it’s a little too familiar.


2. Your Facebook feed is almost entirely made up of engagement photos and baby pictures.




3. Your hangover lasts a couple of days instead of a couple of hours.




4. You feel flattered whenever you’re asked to show your ID.


5. Your parties are more about preparing delicious meals and cocktails rather than chugging from one bottle of vodka.


6. Your favorite songs are now played on the Oldies station.


7. You get really serious about eating more fiber.




8. You wonder how (and more importantly why) you used to stay out all night.


9. You’re at the office reminiscing about the carefree life you had back when you were a student.


10. You don’t have plans on a Saturday night, and it doesn’t freak you out at all.




11. Your Summers are filled with weddings, and your Springs with baby showers.


12. You put your need for comfort before your need for sexy, and your shoes are the biggest evidence.




13. You dread going to a loud party where seating isn’t guaranteed.


14. The best part is: you stop giving a damn what everybody thinks and believe you owe it to yourself to live your life the way you want it.
