Why I Like Being in My 30s

When I turned thirty I freaked out a little bit.  Suddenly I couldn't say to the college students I worked with, "Yeah, I'm in my twenties just like you."  I don't think I ever did say that, but it was nice to know that I could.  Until I turned thirty.  I'd try not to tell them how old I was, but if I did, their faces would be shocked, as though they were thinking, "You're that old?!"  And I wondered if they were considering buying me bifocals or a walker or something.

But now that I've had a few years to think about it, I've come to realize that being in my thirties rocks!  The thirties are way better than the twenties.

Here's why the thirties are better:
1.) I'm healthier, fitter, and look nearly as good as when I was in my twenties. (Thank you, P90X!)

2.) I know what I'm good at, and I'm better at it now.

3.) I have cooler toys.

4.) I have more fun on the weekends.

4.) I have a bigger, better fan club.

So, if this is the thirties, I can't wait to see how my forties are going to pan out!
