things every women should stop doing once she turns 30.
- Buying clothes from the junior section.
- Forgetting her parents’ birthdays.
- Filling her bed with stuffed animals (really, even one is too many).
- Carrying a torch for anyone she hasn’t seen in the last five years.
- Rebelling against her parents for the sake of rebelling against her parents.
- Declaring an entire gender “all jerks.”
- Holding a grudge against anyone who wronged her in high school.
- Going to bed without washing and moisturizing her face.
- Being “that person” who had a bit too much to drink at the office party.
- Crushing on Justin Bieber.
- Thinking she’s got it all figured out
- Engaging in sibling rivalry.
- Trying to get by on her looks.
- Living paycheck to paycheck.
- Expecting a man/knight in shining armor to swoop in and save her.
- Aimlessly jumping from job to job.
- Using MySpace to pick up guys.
- Expecting a man to do all the wooing.
- Wishing she had someone else’s life.
- Expecting everyone to drop everything because it’s her birthday ...(uh i don't really see the problem with this one:) )
- ... or because her “boyfriend” of two weeks dumped her.
- Measuring her self-worth by a number on the scale.
- Being cheap.
- Quitting a job without having a new one lined up first (especially in this economy!)
- Romanticizing her 20s.

I still do #1 without apology. Nobody sells Iron Maiden T-shirts for women over 30, so I have to buy them from stores that cater to kids. It's also related to #23, which I also do with some reservation (save money by shopping at Goodwill, but overtip good waiters and waitresses).
ReplyDeleteAnd #13 is inappropriate at any age unless you're of an *ahem* certain profession.
Hmmm, I think I still have a few of those to work on. Age unknown!
ReplyDeleteWow! I do half the things on that list still and I'm almost 31! :) You know I'm the one who has "too much to drink" at the office party...
