28 Going On 18


At my age it becomes easy to forget sometimes that I'm 28 years old not 18. Being caught somewhere between the party scene and the parenting scene can tend to be confusing. On the one hand, you find yourself wanting to settle down but on the other you yearn to live it up while you still can. Just recently, I went on a major week-long drinking binge which resulted in the immediate need to redeem myself by remodeling my bedroom and hitting up Kohl's doorbuster sales. There comes a point in life when all-night drinking escapades, one-night stands, and long-running fb's are no longer exciting but just simply tragic. Sometimes you just have to stop and re-evaluate your life and decide if where you are is where you want to be. Maybe still acting 18 in some aspects is acceptable. It's just understanding the difference between fun and reckless; trendy and trashy. One can be responsible yet still know how to have fun, after all no one likes a prude right?

10 Signs You're Not 18 Anymore:

1. You know more about Alan Thicke than you do Robin Thicke (The guy from Growing Pains has a son?!)

2. The only Molly you know is a famous actress from the 80's (Sixteen Candles is like the greatest movie ever)

3. The craziest party you have been to lately is a 31 purse party

4. You can remember when Fifteen and Pregnant was a tragic movie on Lifetime, not a glamorous reality tv show

5. You can barely fit into a size XL in the JUNIOR department (Your hips aren't Forever 21)

6. You no longer find indoor tanning desirable (You work MON-FRI 9-5, who are you kidding with your fake orange glow?)

7. You have no fucking idea what is going on in that Miley Cyrus video

8. You would rather drink at the Legion or VFW than venture out to college bars ( How can you beat $1 beer?)

9. The only "dirty pics" you have on your phone are of your niece and nephew potty training

10. You get your current events from sources other than E!News
