Sign #5: you think the latest crop of 21-year-olds all look about 10.

You've been making that comment for as long as I've known you. The only difference is that  you keep raising the age you're commenting on. : :D

14) You look forward to the chance to spend half an hour lying flat on your back, with your eyes closed, but not asleep.

I challenge that; I did that plenty at summer camp. That's called working your ass off.

21) You have more money in your "retirement plan" than in your checking account.  (Especially after you pay your bills)

22.) Friday night changes completely.

Instead of starting at 11 pm and ending at whenever you finally fall asleep on Saturday morning, dressed in your "I'm so awesome, look at me rock this outfit" clothes... you desperately want to get in before 7:30 so you can settle into your shows. And the second you see someone of a younger age dressed in those clothes while you're walking to your car, you groan with displeasure.

23) You've begun making the same comments your parents did whenever bills arrive in the mail.

24) You sit on the public bus, listening to the high school students, and mentally apologize to everyone who had to ride the bus with you when you were a high school student.

25) You start giving the young people in your social circle unsolicited life advice that you know they won't take.

26) instead of praying for a snowstorm (to get a snow day) you pray that there is no snow (because you have to drive to work)

20) You put on extra clothes instead of turning up the heat, because you have to pay your own heating bill.

This. 100 times this. When my mother would tell me as a child that I should just put on more layers, I would fume. Now I have two pairs of socks on and 5 layers to try and stay warm and keep the heating bill down.

27) You stay home sick, and instead of feeling like you won an unexpected mini-vacation for the low low cost of some sniffles, you hate the whole thing for making you feel yucky while stewing over all the work you will have to catch up on when you get back.  :-@
