  3. Speaking of tv, it is weird when you get to around 30-40 and realize the majority of people on shows and in films are now younger than you.

    Speaking of tv, it is weird when you get to around 30-40 and realize the majority of people on shows and in films are now younger than you. All those young adults that always looked like grown-ups, you realize how they're practically babies.

    It almost applies to everything I guess, not just media, once you're at the mid-ages. But it's especially striking there, because you keep watching those same shows and movies from time to time. The actors don't age, but your perception of them changes.

      I'm having a hard time with the fact that a couple of Supreme Court justices are younger than me. 🙂

        I had generally always been the young person at my job. But we have a position open and people fresh out of school have been applying and interviewing. I'm no longer the "baby" at work. I'm fucking old. 😢

        It was really a shock to me because I never thought people in their early 20s looked all that different to me until some of them came in.

          depends when you graduate, some people graduate pretty late 20s because of thier schools curriculum is is horrendeously unkind to students, so people ended up getting delayed and graduating later, and people graduating at 22, looks like they just came out of HS.
