12 signs you’re officially "old"

Pink Blob

1. You’ve given up pining over university

You honestly don’t think you could hack the tequila, short skirts and missed lectures anymore.

2. You bloody love flower arranging

And looking at Pinterest boards about shelves. God, what have you become?

Pink Blob

3. Your number of ‘best friends’ has shrunk from 25 to 4

But you’d rather have a handful who you’d do anything for, and vice versa, than a whole load of mates who you can’t really trust.

Pink Blob

4. You love pyjamas

Who would ever bother to squeeze into that old pair of jeans or try on some leather trousers when these heavenly pieces of clothing waiting at home for you?

5. Netflix is your best friend

You’d much rather be lost on a desert island with House of Cards than with anyone you know.

6. You have actually acknowledged that you will, one day, die

It still terrifies the living daylights out of you, but at least you’ve stopped thinking you’re invincible.

8. You love spending time with your family

The days of ditching family holidays to spend time with your friends are well and truly over.

9. You’re more assertive

There were times when someone could walk all over you and you wouldn’t say a thing.

10. You’ve lost touch with 90 per cent of the people you know

There’s just not enough time in the working day to see all the friends you used to have.

11. Your friends are getting engaged, married and pregnant

And while their Facebook updates still annoy the crap out of you, at least you’ve realised that this, too, could happen to you one day.

Pink Blob

12. You take responsibility for boring stuff

Like gas bills, TV licenses and pensions. God, pensions!
