Let me start by saying… I don’t feel old. Also, I’m 35. When I was younger, sure, 35 sounded old. But now that I’m here, I definitely don’t feel old. There are days I still feel like I’m in my twenties. Until someone brings up certain things that remind us of our age. And let me tell you, it’s like a smack in the face when people think these things mean we’re old.
Now we can thank BuzzFeed for putting together a list of things that if you did them growing up, they say you are “officially old as dirt.” They have a list of 40 different things… but I’m just going to share a few of them that I can relate to. You can check out the full list HERE.
Here Are Just A Few Things That Make Us Feel Old:
Home Phones
I don’t know many people who still have a home phone anymore. But back in the day, when you were mad, there was nothing like being able to slam that phone down!

Playing Car DJ - With CDs!
We collected a lot of CDs throughout the years… and had to have somewhere to store and play them. The car was perfect. You either had one of those visor CD holders or a binder full of CDs. And chances are… there were a lot of homemade mixed CDs!

Manually Doing Things...
Like rolling down a car window! Or rewinding/fixing a cassette tape!
