You Know You're Thirty When...

You Wear Sneakers to a Concert

Because you know your feet are going to hurt, and you are trying to ward off the inevitable

Sidenote -yesterday, I almost got in a fight with a girl (who was VERY drunk at the show) because she thought I stepped on her foot. But, i didn’t. 

After Being on the Elliptical for an Hour, Your Knees are Broken

Everything is breaking!

You Go to a Pub And Say “THIS IS TOO LOUD”

And leave

You Enjoy Traveling to a Place More Than The Thing You Have to Do When You Get There

Another submission!

The excitement of going to the airport is unbridled! I mean, you get to a take a CAB! and walk through sliding doors, and then slide your luggage along the slippery floor!

Of course, then you wait in a long security line where you have to strip down, just so you have step through a machine that will literally strip you down. 

But seriously, sometimes planning for a trip is way better than the trip. The months of anticipation just build to this climax that may not be so amazing (Hey! trips are like dating!). However, going somewhere will always be better than staying home. 

You No Longer Care About Being on Time

Life is precious. Enjoy it. 

If you’re five minute late for dinner, maybe your friends got there on time and your table is just waiting for you, maybe if you’re even more late, appetizers will already be there!

If you’re five minutes late to a meeting everyone will look at you funny in the beginning, but then they will assume you spent the rest of the meeting trying to catch up on the info, and wont ask you any questions. 

Of course, lets be honest, usually I am the one who is five minutes late, but is also five minutes earlier than everyone else, so usually I am the one saving the tables

If One of Your Girlfriends Doesn’t Order a Drink, She Might Be Pregnant

Why else would she not be drinking?

The first time this happened to me (2 days ago) I thought it was weird that my friend didnt order a drink. For a whole hour and half I thought she was either really concerned about driving, or possibly didnt like cocktails or beer, it never even occurred to me that she might be growing a baby

I have zero other friends that are pregnant, and thus I say stupid things like “Oh I hear it looks like an alien is about to punch through your stomach”

The Idea of Going Out After A Wedding Sounds Exhausting

Hello, we just danced A LOT. And the next place we go probably wont have free drinks, or a clean floor (very important at this point in the night because most of the girls will be shoe-less)

You Go to a Wedding and You Stay at a Hotel

Instead of on someone’s couch, or air mattress, or floor. 

Of course, when you decide to prolong your stay and make it into a mini vacation, couch options are back on the table (cause you haven’t seen people in years and they probably miss your awesome-ness)

After a Break Up Your Retail Therapy Involves Things That Are Not On Sale

And it involves buying things at decent places!

Cause:

1. Why are you making money if you’re not spending money?

2. 30 year-olds should have nice things. 

3. If you wait for things to go on sale at West Elm you don’t get the good stuff. 

Thanks, credit card. 

IT IS OKAY TO WEAR THE SAME OUTFIT TO WORK, A LOT
If someone bothers to call you out on it, here are some appropriate responses:
1. I am clearly wearing different shoes
2. This dress was on sale, I bought 3.
3. Now that you mention it, I don’t get paid enough, could I please get a raise?
4. Are you stalking me? I can report you to the authorities
