29 things that can be estimated to 29

This list includes what is called a "hand": not so long ago I turned 29 - and the ghost of the notorious crisis "o-oh-I-have-30" has winds over my head. To distinguish it from the black crow of Russian folk songs only in the fact that we ourselves have come up with all the reasons for the grief "me-so-many-years-and-nothing-is-done."

As a reminder, it is just beginning in the life of 29 - a short list of what is still 9 years ago you thought and what not to do and did not appreciate earlier:

1. Now you You can shamelessly say how cool you get enough sleep last night (As much as 9 hours!), And not about how buzzed all night in the club - and you will be envied by many more people than those who roams from a party to a party.

2. You have a couple of days spent on trying to understand what all this with indignation talking about Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus (yes let them behave in music videos and on stage as they want, hypocrisy and snobbery - who cares at all ?!)

3. Your parents finally tell you the truth about the many aspects of your family life

and answer your questions about the past: in the past they simply brushed aside with the words "become older - you will understand." Not to say that everything you learn from the past of his family, will delight you; but any omissions and misunderstandings will not stay.

4. You are more readily put to bed to read (Or wallowing in bed with a book in the morning, if possible). Or in general will not go out of the house, and prefer to read.

5. you - the last generation of people who remember what life was like before the Internet frenzy and all of these social networks. Appreciate their childhood and teenage memories :)

6. When you learn that rumors about you and that someone dismisses the gossip, you just ridiculous and absolutely parallel.

7. You remain "friends" only real friendsInstead of those with whom a fun time at the club, hang at the bar or hang out with friends.

8. You drink less, so as not to suffer a hangover in the morning - and therefore notice that on the "fun" pastime It takes much less money.

9. And wake up in the morning after a party or a conference and a sober head I feel great - even the priceless feeling.

10. Can rejoice that when you grow up, then all of these advertised snacks, cookies and other synthetic "cooking", "sweet" and was not psevdoedy in sight.

11. Failures no longer seem to you doomsday / Life / career.

12. At the weekend you you can simply do nothing. In the literal sense of the word. And this is also fine.

13. When you were in high school and in college, costumes for Halloween and other costume parties were much smarter, more inventive and more terribleThan just "sexy cat" and "zombies."

14. surrounding They begin to treat you much more respect than those who are now 21Because you have already achieved something in life and know what you want (even if in reality it is not so; but then shhh! - never denied this opinion).

15. If you're tired, you You can simply leave the guests to the party or banquet - no one will not say a word.

16. You no longer have to lie to you, that you also read the sensational book or watched the movie all discussedBecause someone actually has to this case: have you read this work or not ?!

17. You know exactly what able to keep the house at least a houseplant, as a maximum - the whole pet (And both of them have not bent for some unknown reason).

18. Nobody else do not have to share a bed :) Even if they bunk.

19. At 29, there is no need to pretend that you like dubstep or fashionable rock bandIf you are actually listening to blues or Rachmaninoff.

20. You It grows up to understand jokesThat I used to love to spice up his speech with your father or grandfather (and which you then seemed completely stupid).

21. Until you reach that standard "wedding" in the understanding of the majority of guests - it is an occasion to drink in some pathos place. Realizing this, his own wedding you will not do with the master of ceremonies and other blackjack.

22. You difficulty remembering the names of former classmates and takes place in the high school school (not to mention the rest of the learning process) - and you is incredibly happy.

23. You stop playing the romantic hero and complicating any relationship - so bluntly declare people of the opposite sex that you like them (or do not like). At least, the relationship (or inability to make them) with a specific person from it only wins.

24. On the date you are inviting not only "that's hot to the Thing" and agree to "behold this sexy guy" and you still They begin to be interested in their "brains", and other quality of life.

25. More There is no "fun" to hang in the queues at the entrance to the club, in the crowd near the stage at a concert or in the midst of the fans the writer who came to the autograph session because of the crowd - this is the worst thing that can happen to you in a public place (and in 29 you know for sure).

26. You You start wearing what you want, rather than what is usually (Even if it's your favorite orange sweater, trousers in a cage or Martens with an army print - none should not bother, why are you wearing: you wear because you in this comfortable and you do like).

27. You learn to appreciate wine as a drinkAnd not as a quick and relatively inexpensive way to get drunk.

28. You have every right to Now young people can criticize :) And rightly celebrating the idiocy of teenagers who all annoying (most importantly - do not overdo it, and then turn into a bore).

29. Maybe you have not really understood, which is your life and how you want to live the rest of your remaining time - but you are convinced that for your words, actions, plans, behavior and life style / clothes / relationship / business / work are responsible only you. You are now themselves the captain of this voyage, and this - cool.

Finally add on his own: 29 to have a sense of humor well enough developed to understand where the irony, sarcasm where where just a joke - and where serious thought, hidden behind them. I hope it happens with this list.
