Things That Make You Feel Old (9 Viewers)

This too. One of my students (I'm an adjunct college prof) wore a Nirvana shirt to class recently. I gave her a nod and said, "Nice! Good to see some of my students know good music!"

To which her response was, "I'm actually not familiar with their music, I just thought it was a cool shirt." I was in disbelief. I figured she was not trying to look to the rest of the class like she shared the same taste in music as the Micro teacher, God forbid the cools points lost or something. So I say, "name 1 Nirvana song, and I will GIVE you 100 points on the quiz tonight." Her eyes go wide when she realizes I'm as serious as an infection. "Can I Google it?! I'll be quick!"

"No. Wait...do you know who Kurt Kobain is? "
"Is this about Nirvana still? Do I get points?"

I'm old.

The first time I heard a grunge song on a classic rock station (I think it was a Pearl Jam song)....made me feel old....

I'm closer to fifty than forty but I don't need that "little blue pill" yet.

I'm trying to be optimistic.

I don't know but come to think of it, thinking how old The Matrix franchise is makes me feel old.

I’ve always said that as I got older I didn’t want to turn into one of those people who complain about what things used to cost

But.....a daily Washington Post is now two dollars

I remember when it was a quarter

And not only was it a quarter it was like twice as much paper
