Things That Make Us Feel Old

Let me start by saying... I don't feel old.  Also, I'm 35.  When I was younger, sure, 35 sounded old.  But now that I'm here, I definitely don't feel old.  There are days I still feel like I'm in my twenties.  Until someone brings up certain things that remind us of our age.  And let me tell you, it's like a smack in the face when people think these things mean we're old.

Now we can thank BuzzFeed for putting together a list of things that if you did them growing up, they say you are "officially old as dirt."  They have a list of 40 different things... but I'm just going to share a few of them that I can relate to.  You can check out the full list HERE.

Oh yeah... I definitely printed out MapQuest directions MANY times back when I was younger.  GPS wasn't really a thing, and it definitely wasn't in almost every single vehicle!

I don't know many people who still have a home phone anymore.  But back in the day, when you were mad, there was nothing like being able to slam that phone down!

Are these still around?  Because when I was younger, I definitely remember loving a Push Pop!  Did anyone realize back then that we were eating ice cream out of a toilet paper roll?

We collected a lot of CDs throughout the years... and had to have somewhere to store and play them.  The car was perfect.  You either had one of those visor CD holders or a binder full of CDs.  And chances are... there were a lot of homemade mixed CDs!

You had to set the TV on channel 3 to play a movie or video game!  Back before the days of multiple inputs on TVs!

Like rolling down a car window! Or rewinding/fixing a cassette tape!

I was always so disappointed in there weren't lyrics in the cassette insert!  How else would I ever know all the words?!
