    it's gonna be just fine
    No doubt, but I'm still gonna drink myself near-comatose on my 30th


    I'm 23(24 in 4 months), but it's crazy how one moment you just enter college, and the next you already out.....at least that's how it seems to me. For those of you who still go, enjoy every moment, those are probably the best 4 years of your life.

    Can some of the older folks here tell me at what point they felt like their body was starting to slip up?

    I enjoy playing Tennis/Soccer so much, I'm really scared of that moment when you lose that half a step....

    It's probably not at 30 though.....
    24...6 away from 18 and 6 away from 30. 24-25 is your absolute physical prime imo

    I've learned to be more reflective about things and not engage in so much of the same things I did as a twentysomething. I used to think that the adage of, "Time makes a man/woman wise..." was bunch of mularkey until I've looked back at how I was and all the immaturity I showed and now with the more experienced me, I'm glad that I've been able to learn from my successes and mistakes though.
    Good post

    I've slowed down as well. Don't party or go out as much as I used to. Mostly because I'm saving to buy a new place.

    But that's one of the things I would never have even contemplated before the age of 30.

    Gemini is completely correct that you gain wisdom, although in my case that's a very relative thing

    I played football and baseball in my youth--Since you're playing sports and if you keep at it, you'll be fine up into the 40s. But even in the 30s you notice certain changes to the overall performance when it comes to athletics. Like, it takes a little longer for your body to recoop if you're sore that's for sure. I don't notice it as much right now @ 31, but I notice that I can't keep going like I once did.

    Things are going well, I really have no complaints...just an irrational fear of time and getting old.

    I found the responses to be pretty interesting (and encouraging). Some of the people in my boat (nearing 30) have some of the same general fears/responses, but the ones in their early-to-mid-30's look at the decade change as inconsequential--which is what I was hoping to hear.
    This is how it is: At 30 you have all of the combined wisdom that you gained from all of the really dumb experiences of your twenties. This allows you much clearer vision than you had in your twenties, all the while you still have (most of) the physical capabilities of your 20's unless you just treat your body like trash.

    That being said, you already have most of this wisdom at 29, its not like some switch is necessarily flipped on that one fateful day.

    True.

    I think the quote goes: Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

    ups are inevitable, regardless of age. The key is limiting the number of times and collateral damage. If you're not doing that or haven't realized that by you're late 20s/early 30s, then you're doing it wrong.

    I won't lie...I could drink like it was going out of fashion when I was much younger. I guess the college cliche was what I subscribed to for most of my education. However, I would always do well and I finished well. It's just you learn so much more perspective even when you're partying in your 30s. Like, if you're going to get drunk--consume food and hydrate prior to your inebriation. Stuff like that is derived from what you've learn in your 20s. Though, the whole romance stuff is still a mystery at this age.

    Not long from now, I'll be turning 60.

    my 30s and 40s sucked for the most part... was married for most of that period. Early 20s was great... and early 50s is good so far...

    I'll admit, I'd like to have the knowledge I have now about relationships and stuff... but be 30 again...

    I agree with other posters that if you are where you want to be or close to it at 30 then its no big deal. Its when you haven't accomplished any of your goals that you might had set is when it starts to get depressing. But 30 for males is considered to be the prime of our life. So there is still hope. lol

    Not necessarily true. I am 33 and I'm in the best shape of my life. I think one can stay pretty close to their physical prime into thier 40's if they take good care of themselves.

    It's not true for you, because you probably did not do the same things to keep in shape that you're doing now when you were 24-25. I've heard from others that's when their physical prime was, and not just cardio shape, endurance, etc, but all around physical ability relating to playing a sport. There is no doubt 2 people who are in extremely good cardiovascular shape, one 25 and one 35, that the 25 year old would be a better player in their sport, excluding sports like baseball and golf.

    Sons, thank you for the support. Ugly mouthbreathers who are also meth heads should not be allowed to reproduce. thispego's baby's looks is all the evidence we need for my above assertions.
