Turning 30 is the point at which people are expected to "figure it all out." And indeed, many of those who say goodbye to their 20s begin a new chapter in their lives by getting engaged, pregnant, or tired of everyone around them.
The big 3-0 is often built up to be the biggest celebration after our "coming of age" 18ths. A time to get ambitious. A time to achieve. But while important career changes, 401(k)s, and the inability to party past midnight (not to mention the burning matter of "settling down") might sound anxiety-inducing, in reality, our 30s aren't something to be afraid of. They're when things start to get good.
But to get the full picture of what happens during this decade, let's look at the Instagram account Thirty AF. This millennial heaven shares funny memes, relatable tweets, and all kinds of content that perfectly capture the highs and lows during this period. So continue scrolling and check out some of its most popular posts!

He used "You are a nerd" as an excuse to break up with her? Wow... He clearly had self-worth issues, assuming it meant he was not good enough for her.
I never answer if I don't know who's calling. The decent ones send a text after saying who they are and/or what it is about. I wish all people could do that instead of keep calling several times.
I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 17 and while I was waiting for my dad to pick me up afterwards, I sat in the waiting room where I noticed a little boy was staring at me, in horror. His mom explained it was his first time at the dentist. I excused myself and went to the bathroom where I noticed blood running down both sides of my mouth. I didn't feel it because my mouth was still completely numb. All these years later I still think of that child and hope I didn't scare him too badly.
🤣🤣🤣 I'm putting on my footwear before attempting to put on my legings, twice!
I was trying to remember the name of a song recently. All I knew for definite was that "Mountain" and "Sea" were in the lyrics. It took a bit of searching (yes on Google) to find it. FYI it was "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden.
Wait what? Women can be happy and feel fulfilled by having a successful career?
Yeah why don't we have good hackers that go in and erase peoples mortgages and student loans like undercover brother?
You mean we American want healthcare. Europe has healthcare (of course dental could be improved). We would like people to not live on the street. Family with kids to be able to feed them and pay school meals and also less violence
My mom always said "be quiet until they go away" if someone showed up without notice. I do the same with my kids, lol. Even if it's someone I know I want to be prepared to socialize. And if it's someone I don't know its creepy. It makes sense to not just open your door to anyone when it's so easy to call/text/email beforehand.
The older I get, the more I rely on professionals to do anything and everything for me. No more hanging my own photo frames.
Actually, this is sorta genius. I could have saved myself and my realtor a lot of time had I known one house we wanted to see had 6ft ceilings, another had shelf paper glued to the "newly finished floors," and a third had a basement floor on an angle making most of it unusable despite being listed as "finished" and "spacious."
I'd trust my kid to do the booby traps, but there's no way he'd buy groceries or do the laundry.
But that's the only perks you have. Eating what you want. Or drink soda or eat candy on weekdays (but in secret if you have kids).
Can you imagine the decompression alarm just went off, you're putting on your spacesuit, get to the helmet and are trying to stuff your three-foot-long tress up under your helmet before your oxygen runs out....
The photo is dated December 7th 2019. I think this dog knows what 2020 will bring and is getting his existential crisis in early.
Why compare yourself to anyone else? There's always someone above and someone below. I am just glad I'm better than past me and hoping future me is learning something from current me's mistakes
Amen, sister. I am with you, in my bed, in my PJs, reading Bored Panda and enjoying my life.
Y'know, apropos nothing in particular, it's common for tiresome know-it-alls to pretend they're "playing devil's advocate" when really they're just assholes who like the sound of their own voice and never listen to anyone else. For some reason that comment seems to belong here.
What? You mean they don't do it by choice? Oh, what a surprising nonsense! /s
My New Year's resolution was to become a paperless household. ie to stop hoarding paper (documents) and to get online billing where possible. Today I noted my income remains pretty much the same as 2013. Of course I knew this but theres nothing like a piece of black and white paper to bring home the truth.
The male equivalent of a thornback is a bachelor, and if they got a bit of grey hair they are called a silver fox.
I was the weirdo and they're still like, so.... sorry I wasn't very nice to you in school but this is my chance for redemption! I can totally help you be rich AND a stay at home mom, like me! Like, sorry, Rachelle, I don't need you to ruin my life twice but thanks anyway
I enjoyed the wide leg jeans moment. My friend once accidentally trapped a pigeon under hers.
It's summer in Australia. The other day was warm with a lovely breeze and I caught myself saying 'ah, good drying day'. That's what nice summer days are to me now.
If I were Britney and saw this, I might call for a restraining order.
Well one is in college and one works at the local grocery store and one works at Chipotle during the day and at a pierogi shop at night. They all live in my house and none of them drive. 😆
Was that supposed to be flirting? I just thought it was annoying. Maybe I really was as oblivious as people said.

Clubbing in your 40's: punching your pillow with a closed fist until it's in a position that *might* not break your neck before morning
I have to print out the documents I was emailed and mail them to a mail processing centre where they'll be scanned in and sent to the people who will work on them as digital copies, but you must print and mail them. Yup, the government.
It's because hitting the same milestones as earlier generations hasn't been something we've all been able to achieve. I'm in my late 30s. I own my own business, have a car, a house, and a partner but still feel like a teenager because I've only hit those milestones in the past 4 years. Things still don't feel stable though. And I've been lucky in part because I'm an older millennial.
