A thought about growing older

You're being cocky.

Somehow, for me, the early 20s and late 20s seem to occupy two different sides of a huge gulf, and I often see those in their late 20s patronizing people my age.

Although I guess I am guilty of holding a patronizing attitude towards teenagers.

I think the attitude will die off by the time you go into your 40s.

How ya doing, buddy?

You should get acquainted with the term "quarter-life crisis". It's quite an illuminating, if not an uneccessary distinction.

Here's a little something to give you jollies.

I'll admit that I am somewhat terrified at the prospect of life after graduation because I have the feeling that somehow I'm not doing enough to prepare for it. Grad school applications, resumes, actually putting some "purpose" to your life . . . I must be living under a rock to not notice these forthcoming events because I'm far too preoccupied being an irresponsible undergrad to notice them, and now I'm starting to get my act together. Hopefully it isn't too late.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
