29 Things You’re Too Old For As Of Your 29th Birthday

[JennyBenny318]

1. Wear headbands, head-to-toe pink, and cheerleader skirts


2. Celebrate your birthday on more than one day


3. Reminisce about college


4. Reminisce about the college you never attended


5. Send cryptic messages to people via Facebook and Twitter


6. Think of your high school boyfriend as the one who got away


7. Refer to any boyfriend from that long ago by the era he’s associated with — no one cares that you dated Josh the summer after your freshman year at community college


8. Wear holiday-themed outfits, like pastels and bows on Easter and red and green plaid on Christmas


9. Quote self-help books and/or “Sex and the City” episodes — unless it’s in a mocking fashion


10. Decorate your apartment from Pottery Barn Teen and/or Urban Outfitters


11. Put up posters with tape or thumbtacks instead of frames


12. Attend concerts featuring anyone who wasn’t born by the year you started college (i.e., Justin Bieber) unless you are escorting a much younger family member
    
    
13. Olsen Twin movie marathons (I know, I know, “Passport to Paris” is a classic, but get over it)


14. Calling men “boys” on a regular basis


15. Say or write “LOL”


16. Tote your dog around everywhere, unless you are blind and he/she is a seeing-eye dog.


17. Want to be treated like a princess, to live life like it’s a fairytale, and to be looking for your Prince Charming


18. Own teddy bears and other stuffed animals, unless you have one (singular!) that is left over from your childhood that holds a lot of sentimental value


19. Call your father “daddy”


20. Subscribe to teen magazines, unless you work as a writer specializing in teen issues


21. Spend more than one hour on the phone with a friend, unless she truly is in a crisis or you haven’t talked to her in over a year and need to catch up


22. Have your parents pay your bills, unless it’s your student loans and they insist OR you’re going through a short, temporary rough financial patch


23. Consider a haircut a huge massive change of epic proportions, unless it’s a post-breakup haircut and you write one measly essay about the subject


24. Consider your hair color to be a significant part of your identity, unless you’re a redhead


25. Talk about how OMG wasted you got last night, like having a hangover makes you cool


26. Lay out in the sun without sunscreen


27. Sit on anyone’s lap, unless you’re trying to fit five people in a taxi that sits four


28. Wear glasses for “fashion” when you don’t have a prescription or vision issues


29. Feel any shame or embarrassment about masturbating

But you’re never too old to/for...

1. Consider your dog your best friend


2. Call your mom for advice


3. A one-night-stand


4. Ask for someone’s help — financial, emotional, whatever — when you really need it


5. Discover your passion in life


6. Eat breakfast for dinner


7. Sleep in past 11 a.m.


8. A nap

A few things I really don't agree with

3(you can always reminisce), 8(being festive isn't a crime, overdoing it is for any age), 9(quote self- help is fine, because if it helped you it can help others), 15 (my mom says lol on texts all the time- no one but you thinks it's weird), 16 (if the place is dog friendly, why not bring him), 19 (people won't start calling their daddy 'father' on their 29th birthday), 21 (spend as much time as you want on the phone with a friend) 23 sounds a bit personal to you.

[KnightlyMan23]

Why not be able to sit on someone's lap or cudle up with your significante other? I don't think you're ever too old for that if done appropriately

Never too old to wear head to toe pink and pink headbands.
I'll be 39 years old on January 22(I was born in 1983) though I look much younger (the oldest anyone ever guesses me to look is 22 many guess 16 and some as young as 13). I always wear head to very super bright pink and alwats wear a very super bright pink headband. I also always wear very super bright pink high heeled thigh high platform boots very super bright pink long gloves. I wear glasses (I don't wear them for fashion I'm pretty much blind without them though men do always compliment me and tell me how hot my glasses look and I love wearing glasses) that are also very super bright pink.
I absolutely love love love pink. Pink is such a beautiful color. Everything I own and wear is very super bright pink. My houses and cars and everything in my houses and cars is very super bright pink. Even the cigarettes I smoke are very super bright pink. I refuse to wear or own or smoke any cigarettes that aren't pink. The picture of me I have as my profile picture was taken at someone else's house which is why there's stuff in that house not pink but everything in all my houses including the houses themselves is very super bright pink. The only thing Iove not pink is my men who I live very dark black. There's no such he thing as being too old to wear head to tie pink and pink headbands. Pink is by far the most beautiful sluttiest and most feminine color and I will never ever stop wearing and owning everything pink and smoking pink cigaretted.

I'd have to say that I don't entirely agree with this article. Everyone does their own thing at their own pace. The last thing we need is more dictating to us what we should and shouldn't do. It all boils down to being comfortable with who we are. I'd think that by your 29th birthday, hopefully you'd have learned that tidbit about life.

[CatholicVirginia]

I disagree with 15, 17, 18, 19 (and I don't even speak to my father), and 21. And yet at 29 you're not too old for a one night stand?

As for 17, why not? "My father says every girl is a princess!" Of course I want to always be treated like a princess - until the day I die, at the ripe old age of 82. And I will treat my husband like my prince.

[toulouse]

Most of that stuff is annoying, for any age. But I fully support anyone wishing to indulge.

ive never done any of that. Except my dog. & if he's with me when I'm 29, ill still do it.

what do you care what people do when they are 29?

[sarahruth]

I wouldn't wear head to toe pink unless I was 3 or 4. as for the cheerleader skirts - well I don't own that many skirts to begin with so meh. half the stuff on the list I don't even do lol. and I'm under 29 like.

[blackwaterhattie]

I can't hate on this list. I ESPECIALLY agree with you on number 17. And WHOLEHEARTEDLY disagree with you on number 19. If Iive to be 100, my father will always be "Daddy".

[JennyBenny318]

I don't even write lol anymore. I just write ha ha.

I don't tote my dog everywhere I go.

I never have gotten treated like a princess.

I own one teddy bear that's on my bed.

I call my father "dad".

You're never old for a one night stand.

[MomentoMori]

I'm not sure if this was meant to be funny or not...but I certainly hope it's not serious! That, in my opinion, would be incredibly stupid!

[mid20sgirl86]

I think I am guilty of the LOL, and the stuffed animals, but they were my favourite. And they are in closet.

[candlewax]

That makes no sense. If you don't care what people do when they're 29, then why write this article to begin with?

[JennyBenny318]

It says, "unless she truly is in a crisis or you haven’t talked to her in over a year and need to catch up." A friend I see daily I don't talk long on the phone to, I talk to them in person.

[relationshipDNA]

Since I'm too old to do number 15, I am laughing out loud at number 23. My friend thought her life would change forever.

[sweetone]

I have 3 years until I'm 29 but I think even then I'll still agree that numbers 12, 15, 17, 19, and 21 sucks!

[handsomejackk]

Why is it that all articles posted on this damn site try to dictate to people how to behave and make them feel ashamed for stepping outside the lines?

[biirujapan]

"A one-night-stand" Disagree on this. Most men have no respect for party girls in their 30s. Shows a major fear of commitment, unrealistic standards or self respect issues.

[RositaV]

Too much hating on these comments.. Let me just say, You are right. I agree 100%

[littlered]

i can agree with most of this... but I will never be too old to call my dad daddy. :)

[moonlightromance]

i agreewith biirujapan! one night stands are gross!

[Prettygurl12]

I think I'll do all of the things you've said I'll be too old to do just because I still can :)

[windy-rose]

I don't think one can age out of a good long phone conversation...
