What is something you can’t do anymore, but you could when you were younger?

My current equivalent: full-time WFH day job, and a side-gig that becomes full time in the summer. I'm working on making the side-gig the main one, but it's scary. I was hit hard in 07/08 so I'm on edge about not having steady income.

Yeah how tf did we do that. I remember being at the university from 6:30 to 3 and then working from 4:30 to 9 almost every weekday, and somehow having time to spend hours with friends almost every night, then play video games while studying at the same time until 2 am or so. Somehow I managed to stay fit, do BJJ 4-5 days a week, manage to hit the gym every day, and still keep grades up Now I work 7-5:30, spend time with my kid, and am paralyzed with fatigue by 9. If I'm lucky I can find an hour to work out each week and maybe make it to BJJ once a week as well. College was wild and honestly was the highlight of my life with respect to time I have to do things I love.

Yes I remember use to work serving jobs at 10:30am, worked in the financial and party district so it was essentially open to close shifts, get off at 11pm and head to the club, leave at 2:00am, go to bed by 4:00am and get ready for work at 10:30am, hungover, like nothing happened. Not anymore 😂😂

I would literally go out drinking and dancing until 5am and then wake up completely fresh for class at 9am. Now if I drink 3 glasses of wine, I'm going to feel it tomorrow.

let's be real, no one did that. there were plenty of naps in between, power naps before the party and you would absolutely be hung over and sleep until 4pm the next day. and "attending university" just meant sitting in lecture and dosing off most of the time. and you're not allowed to work more than 20 hours a week at my university...

Man, on a gentler related note- staying up all night and being fine. I rarely make it past 10 or 11 now.

I did my masters while working full time and now i barely make it to five

I used to jab my dad for still getting up at 5:30am every morning not only after selling the farm, but after fully retiring. Now I do the same thing even tho I'm retired and I love that time.

Same! Why have we become this wsy!?

It is amazing how the older you get the harder it is to sleep. It is the most basic human function and requires no skill. Hit 40 and all of a sudden it is a challenge to do!

Omg yes… I could sleep the day away when I was younger.. now I’m up no later than 7am no matter how late I stay up😢

If I sleep past 8 I'm pissed at myself.....cause I have a chair to sit in and chores to avoid!

Sincere question: what are you doing at 6am? Are other people in the house? Anytime I get up early, I then settle on the couch because I feel like it’s too early to start anything, and then I fall asleep.

This one! I was so sad when I went to 6 Flags and left with a headache and my back was sore. That's when I knew I wasn't a young chick anymore. Reality sucks!

Or back pain. Darn stenosis.

In the same but unfortunately with sushi. I use to do sushi buffets all the time during college, but now I’m my mid 30s if I eat anything raw I’ll have a stomach ache for a week. 😫

😂😂😂😂

I'm just gonna log off now. I don't think I'll see a better answer today.

This one is so real

I jumped a flight of two steps last week and I think I pulled a muscle (I’m almost 40)..

I recently joined dating apps 5 years after my divorce. I quit after a few days because I realized I didn't want to waste my few free hours on it.

My toenails go neglected too often, too long. Summer and sandal weather is here. Time to double the Ibuprofen and break out the grinder.

I miss that metabolism too!!!

Try running in a pool. It gives you exercise without the shock of running on a hard surface.

I’m the opposite! If my body needs to sleep, I can pass out any where 😂

I remember girls back in the day would wear heels to the club. Nowadays they don’t so don’t worry😂

Two weeks? My friend group plans six months ahead of time. And we always get cancellations by the time comes

Me when I go to work. Back then I would be super energetic and say hi to everyone, now I’m an old grandpa

I realized I was getting old when I farted and pulled a muscle lol

I remember I use to laugh at my mom playing Mario kart, because whenever she plays she shifts and moves her whole body and the controller, like she’s actually driving. Now I do the same 😂

I’m glad I can still touch my toes. I just have to pretend I’m a lizard and manoeuvre my way without hurting my back..

Yep same and I HAVE to make sure I got some good greens on my plate, limit my deep fried intake and dessert. And eat some fruits 😂

I lowkey sometimes don’t even have the desire because I’m so tired..
