After 25

Sure you're still in your 20's but when you pass that quarter of a century mark, somehow you start to fell NOT-young anymore. At least I do, haha! And then there are some things that just shout, "you're old". :P

NOW: Sure you can still party 'till dawn but not without feeling really exhausted (you end up sleeping for 10 hours straight lol). Plus this is like a once in a blue moon event, you're more into dining out and movies and coffee nowadays.
BEFORE: You party until closing time, yep that's almost if not sunrise already. Oh and getting breakfast after, before heading home, is not unusual.

NOW: You have a glass or two out, maybe 3 on special occassions but most of the time you'd rather drink in-house.
BEFORE: You can drink all kinds of alcohol (of course this is case-to-case basis) and drink a bucket of beer and still get home safe and sound.

NOW: From margarita to wine, now mostly WINE. Yeah, WINE!!!
BEFORE: 1st choice of drink - TEQUIla or maybe a cosmo if feeling SATC-ish :)

NOW: You actually love spending time at home, watching NCIS in your room or simply feeling domestic.
BEFORE: You're only a text away from going out. You are a social butterfly.

NOW: Your parents have to beg you to get out of their house.
BEFORE: When you go home (province) during holidays, you can't get out of the house fast enough.

NOW: When you binge it shows! I guess metabolism isn't as effective as it used to be.
BEFORE: You eat whatever you want without (significantly) gaining weight.

Ohh how I miss being young and carefree, hehehe! Of course there are a lot of great things that come with growing up as well, but that's an entirely different conversation. Maybe next time.. :)

Friends. There are a lot of types of those - you have the BFFs, the sister-kind, special friends (whatever special's definition is), etc. But there is one kind of friend I think everybody should have. They're not necessarily your best buddies or the friends you go out with regularly, and they can even be annoying! But the good thing about them is that you can be mean to them and you're still sure you're friends. Not a single moment do you fear that you'll lose that friendship. Of course you don't release all your wrath just for kicks but you know that you don't have to filter your words or emotions towards them. No sugar-coating whatsoever.You can be blunt and it's okay. You get away at being a bicth or jerk to each other because after all has been said and done, at the end of the day you care about each other. And that supercedes everything! :)
