50 Painfully-Accurate Memes That Anyone Above 30 Might Relate To, Shared By This Instagram Page
There’s just something about turning 30 that shakes us awake. Suddenly, we realize that this is the point we expected to have it all figured out. To leave our carefree youthful days behind and merrily cross over the bridge into adulthood. But many will agree there’s little joy in the mammoth 30th birthday. It often looms over our heads and reminds us that we simply haven’t done enough with our lives, making us question whether we’re running out of time.
But wait! The 30s aren’t that bad. This period is all about exploring life and getting closer to understanding who we really are. And with so many highs and lows during this decade, there’s plenty to laugh at as well. So let us introduce you to the 'Coping With Not Being 29' Instagram account, the perfect outlet for frustrated millennials to catch a break and chuckle at their misery. "Somewhere between adulting and setting the cat on fire," the creator writes, and by the looks of it, they’re not far off.
We have scoured their feed and gathered some hilarious memes and extremely relatable jokes that sum up what life in our 30s is all about. So continue scrolling and upvote the posts you thought were spot on! If you’re in the mood for even more painfully accurate content, take a look at our earlier posts about 'Millennial Heaven' and '30 And Tired.'

I go with a pair (per day) and a spare. Of course, this also depends on the length of the trip and the destination. Because it might necessitate extra showers if there's a pool, or before we go out to a posher place for dinner. Or... You know what? I actually need a spreadsheet to work this one out. It's not as simple as I thought!

I will never understand why people design clothes that require pure Antarctic glacier water, saffron and rare earth minerals to clean. /s Function over form for me.

Sooo relatable 😩. I have dreadlocks and it takes almost a day to get it completely dry after washing. I can't use dryers because they damage my locs, so I have to wash my hair around 4 - 5 in the morning. If I'm even 10 minutes late, I give up.

In highschool maths we actually DID get an assignment which was to fill out a tax return. I couldn't understand any of it and my dad couldn't help me either... AND HE WORKED AT THE TAX OFFICE. Most of the class failed that assignment, and these days I go to an accountant.

I wish those words could leave my mouth before I run away from anxiety - while agreeing to the request, of course.

Calling them liquor pants might lead to some odd situations. No sir that is a name not a request.

This was so me on Friday. We have weekly meetings on Friday and we were going over the company's overall May reports. They were talking about long term goals for my colleagues and me. I was just nodding and playing along. I have a new job, but I'm waiting till I recieve June's salary before quitting. Mind you, it's not a shitty job. It just doesn't have potentials for career growth.

How about a post about great and relatable things about being in your 30s/40s? Do what you like, afford good holidays, wonderful kids, no peer pressure, accepting your body, have own home and car... life is great. I say that as an unemployed single parent; sure life has its struggles, but this makes it sound like total misery, misanthropy, and loneliness.

30 is old?!!! Well give it a few years and the headlines will be 25 and old.. then 20 and old... humans enable this sc..h..it with social media. In 50 years time Our kids and grandkids will be cancelled by the time they are 12! Every few years the age for being young gets smaller and smaller. Get a grip people, grow up face reality! 🙄

Yeah I'm thinking people have overwhelmingly given up on life, and decided to be melodramatic 13 year olds, acting like their life is over, but it's clearly *someone else's fault* or "because not 20 anymore" instead of maybe, idk, finding a hobby.
