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\u2019re approaching 30 too!<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>1. You read an article about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/47362\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">20 Snacks Every Lebanese 90s Kid Binged On<\/a> and it\u2019s a little too familiar.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  2. Your Facebook feed is almost entirely made up of engagement photos and baby pictures.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canailleblog.com\/photos\/oh-no-ok-du-calme-hermione-granger-1er-film-romane47020131219182921.gif\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  3. Your hangover lasts a couple of days instead of a couple of hours. <br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.whiskeyriff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reese-Witherspoon-Die-Hangover-gif.gif\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  4. You feel flattered whenever you\u2019re asked to show your ID. <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  5. Your parties are more about preparing delicious meals and cocktails rather than chugging from one bottle of vodka.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  6. Your favorite songs are now played on the Oldies station.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  7. You get really serious about eating more fiber.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2015-01\/5\/17\/enhanced\/webdr08\/anigif_enhanced-14550-1420495616-24.gif\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  8. You wonder how (and more importantly why) you used to stay out all night.  <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  9. You\u2019re at the office reminiscing about the carefree life you had back when you were a student.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  10. You don\u2019t have plans on a Saturday night, and it doesn\u2019t freak you out at all.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-rjKd13sAtG0\/Vdp0GaLuxVI\/AAAAAAAALOQ\/czNa5It8T1g\/s1600\/tumblr_lz5gxp9hkO1qjmyspo1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  11. Your Summers are filled with weddings, and your Springs with baby showers.<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  12. You put your need for comfort before your need for sexy, and your shoes are the biggest evidence.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47646-1.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  13. You dread going to a loud party where seating isn\u2019t guaranteed. <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  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.<\/b><\/big>    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
