I'm 19 and will be 20 in a few short months. I think a lot of how I miss being 18. I know people get salty about aging at a certain age but isn't 19 a bit young to feel miserable like that?

I felt kind of like that when I hit 18.
Then I realised the majority of my teenage years sucked ass and that I wouldn't miss them one bit. Just remember that there's always room to improve.

I pretty much haven't felt any different, age wise, since I turned 16, and I'll be 21 in August. It all just kinda starts to run together.

I feel like that as we speak. I'll be 21 in about 2 weeks, but it's all going by so quickly. It kinda sucks, and we feel your pain.

Yeah, Ive felt basically the same since I was 17 or 18 and im 21 now. Everyone was like, oh your 18 do you fell different.....no. Oh your 21, do you feel different.....no.
Havent felt miserable yet though.

19 is nice in canada, since thats the age of adulthood under the law here.

I'm the baby of my family and have a late birthday between all my friends so it's a rarity I ever feel old. I do feel like I wasted too much of my life worried about grades in HS. Now, in college, I don't give a shit and I do better than if I was trying.

I know how you feel. I'm 25 now, and I know I'm not old, but it feels like it's gone by in no time at all. Then I think to myself, "No Time At All + No Time At All= 50". Then I get sad.  |

I've had a few moments like that in the last year or so. What with everything constantly changing it's like there isn't anything concrete. My sisters boyfriend turned 22 the other day and he was talking about how old he is. I'll be turning 22 in September and it reminded me of how little I've done and how stuck in a rut I've been for the longest time.

I definitely had my quarter-life crisis where I started wondering what I was "allowed" to enjoy anymore once I graduated college. Since then, I haven't been too enthused about birthdays...

My 19th birthday sucked. I totaly got ripped off by a ticket scalper for over 150 dollars at wrigley field. That really ruined being 19 for almost a whole year. Tell I had sex for the first time later that year making 19 a cool age!

That's another problem I have, I'm only 25 and I feel like I've been in a rut for a while now. I mean I know I got time to get out of it, but I think "Should a 25 year old actually be like this? Shouldn't I save my rut until I actually AM old?". It's a real weird feeling. |

I hit a mid-life crisis when the Undertaker headlined this year's Wrestlemania. I realised his first WWE championship victory was when my age was still a single digit.

I'm turning 23 in September, but while I look at it as, I haven't really done so much, in a way I did plenty. I'm kinda getting in the stage where i'm like "ok, i'm 23...I really need to get my life in gear soon because before I know it It might be too late"
Honestly, most holidays I get depressed anyways, so I don't even care about my birthday. Last year my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me on (you guessed it!) my birthday, and while I'm over it, it still brings back bad memories.

i think sometimes we feel old is because we aren't where we imagined where we would be when we hit that age. i just turned 20 last month and i thought i'd be in college, away from home, driving around a city with a boyfriend...
and not only am i NOT in college, but i still live at home, without a drivers licenses , and never even had a boyfriend.
so yeah....

I turn 22 in a week, but the worst thing from 17 to 18 was being able to go to jail for stupid stuff like tagging and graff writing.
