What made you say "fuck, I'm old" today?

[kieranhalcyon01]

I teach graduate students on their practical rotations. As I was putting my water bottle in my backpack, which I've been using since I started undergrad in 2001, while getting ready to leave work today it occurred to me that my backpack is older than my current grad students. Fucking christ that made me feel old.

What made you feel old today?

When I went to the bathroom today and had to ask my bladder "are you through yet?"

 

[Chillygirl]

I woke up with a sore neck cause I slept too long on my side.

I’m way behind then! I have 2 one is memory foam and the other is down. I switch or stack and some nights use none. Last night the stack slipped cause I must have been restless…

And this is further proof I’m old
