25 Things I Love About Being 25

I recently turned 25 and I felt so bummed. It hasn’t even quite been a month yet, but I thought I’d create this list to make myself feel better about becoming a quarter of a century old.

1.      My parents are so much cooler to me now than I used to think they were.

2.      Staying in is just as fun as going out.

3.      I have a new appreciation for wine.

4.      Rental car restrictions are history (recent history, but history)!

5.      I am in the original group of Harry Potter fans! Better recognize newbies!

6.      I can remember life before Spongebob Squarepants.

7.      I am old enough to remember when The Lion King was newly released.

8.      I’m old enough to be a mom and young enough to not think about children yet.

9.      I feel nostalgic watching 90’s are All That on Teen Nick from 12am-4am.

10.  I’m old enough to appreciate being single.

11.  I understand that having a few amazing friends is better than having lots of sometime friends.

12.  I’ve survived a heart break or two! Guess what? Life does go on!

13.  I recognize that I do not know everything.

14.  I still invest my heart and soul in fictional characters with no shame.

15.  I still have time to travel the world.

16.  I remember having a Walkman.

17.  I still wonder where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.

18.  When I was younger, my favorite thing to play with was outside.

19.  I have regrets and time to make things right.

20.  I understand how much of an improvement internet speeds have made.

21.  I was around for the turn of the millennium.

22.  I still own VHS tapes.

23.  I had a first generation iPod.

24.  I was around when bell bottoms came back in style.

25.  I know what the Rock is cooking.

So yeah, I guess 25 isn’t that bad.
