Things That are No Longer Fun after age 25 (or so)

Written by

Your early 20s are the years to go out, tequila shots, make mistakes, and wake up the next day with go-get-em attitude, ready to do it all again tonight.

Yeah, well, that's all over now, Here’s a list of things that just aren’t fun anymore after you turn 25.

 1. Shots. What’s that thing where you make the poor decision to do something that you used to be able to handle fine just to prove you can still handle it, and then next thing you know you’re puking in a cab? Oh right, shots. 

2. Talking on the phone. When you and your high school best friend went to college, it was fun having the weekly two-hour phone call to share each other's #NewExperiences. Now it’s just like, fuck you, text me, why must I use my voice. 

3. Staying out late. I’m still young! I’m still young! I’m still y— And I’m asleep at the bar.Yeah, having got up early for that job of mine sure is a pain!

4. Eating hedonistically. Because pizza every day is and a greasy diet did not feel like death. But now you have an old(er) person’s digestive system and metabolism. Some late-twentysomethings still have iron stomachs, and power to them, Mac and cheese boxed dinners and Gatorade dinners don’t feel like they used to.

5. Complaining about your parents. Your parents, or at least one of your parents, is awesome. You did not know this until you realized recently that you are turning into your mom or dad,  and it’s actually kind of great.

6. Camping out in one of those nerdy overnight lines for a concert or a show. Waiting all night for that I phone or those Aldean tickets sounded like a good idea, until you froze and your back was killing you, so  “time to sleep on the pavement like a bag lady”  is just not that fun anymore.

7. Living in a house or apartment with 7,000 roommates. It’s not like I hate having a community. OK, I hate having a community.

8. Clubbing. You learn that youcan listen to the country-hip hop mix of FGL/Nelly and hate the world in your own house, for free, in your sweats, without heels.
