We say age is just a number, but we still care about it. When the scary 29 rolls around, many start dreading their next birthday. However, when asked what years were the best in their lives, many older people (at least in Europe) said the ones between 30 and 34. So, maybe we've got it all wrong?

Whether dreaded or not, turning 30 can still be a big milestone, worthy of meming and joking about. This Instagram account for 30-somethings has a little bit of everything: workplace humor, existential dread, and funny, relatable snippets from a tercentenerian's life.

This is remarkably close to what I've been saying - a day to recover from the week, a day for social activities, and a day to do things around the house.

I don't leave the house on weekends unless there's something I actually WANT to do, usually only on fall weekends for Halloween related activities. Otherwise, I alternate between my chair in the living room, or my bed...with my little old man dog, although sometimes I muster up enough GAF to do housework. I send the other adults in the house on errands if something's needed.

My sons school went to a 4 day week and it has made a world of difference in his engagement when he is at school. His teacher says it's harder to teach what they are supposed to in that timeframe but overall it has been a positive change.

    Had to have up-to-date maps! Our office walls looked like a war room, wallpapered with maps. GPS in our phones was not a possibility yet so we would figure out a drivers day using the maps and the drivers had Garmin GPS in each vehicle. Learning to use a map was essential.

    Entering your 30s is not as bad as some people make it out to be. Yes, yours truly is officially 30 as of June of this year. And, as an actual 30-something, I have to say nothing's drastically changed. Children have been calling me "ma'am" for several years now, hangovers were never really easy for me even when I was younger, and I still haven't been a guest at any wedding.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But maybe I'm just that type of person; I've never made New Year's resolutions and didn't go out drinking on my 18th birthday. I do, however, notice that I'm starting to like some adult hobbies and activities that seemed ridiculous before. I often find myself browsing real estate websites, I've even taken up cycling and bought some fancy equipment, and I enjoy knitting at home by the television more and more. Is this what getting old feels like?

    Mine decided to take one in July when blacked out and fell down a flight of stairs. NO, I was not on any d***s nor was I drunk!! 911 was called and I was in the hospital for a week because a UTI went sepsis, I could not walk and every time I tried to stand, my pulse would shoot up to over 150 and my BP would drop lower than 60/30 and I would hit the floor. I then spent five weeks in a skilled nursing rehab learning to walk again. Before the hospital I kept saying: "if it gets worse, I'll go to the doctor." My stress level was through the roof with my job and I was not thinking about myself. Now my heart and lungs are affected because of the tissue damage caused by the sepsis and now, at 60 years old, I am having to move into assisted living because I can not walk without my rollator, can not cook, etc, etc. etc...listen to your body!!!

    I kept falling back in 2010 or so. I had a whole body tremor and serious mobility issues. I was in a rural hospital for 35 days! They had no idea what was going on. Turns out it was a thiamine deficiency secondary to bariatric surgery years before. Finally they give me a B1 shot and I go from wheelchair to walker overnight. Another shot and now I am on a cane. One more and I'm walking without assistance. Now I stay on top my supplementation regimen.

    My body did this to me. I was a yes person at work. And they ran with it but reward for it? Heck no. I went on annual leave for one week. Left instructions. Returned to chaos. I had a total nervous breakdown. Spent 4 months disengaged with everything. I let one person in, my best friend. I don't remember the holiday (we went to Dublin) and 4 months is missing. I started to reengage because my mum somewhat forced me. She broke in to my house and took me out. But after that, I FELT my brain change. I could genuinely feel it change wiring. And to this day, I have never been the same psychologically. My brain now recognises a point. I don't. And it shuts me down. Like narcolepsy. Zero control over it. It makes me self-care whether I like it or not.

    The @30somethingaf meme page was created by Sarah Pilger. She has been entertaining us, 30-somethings, on Instagram from 2017, and has amassed a following of 402k in the process. Back in 2022, when we covered the page the first time, Sarah told us that she always had a comedic streak, and a meme page was a great way to be funny on the internet.

    "Memes and gifs were just getting started and I found myself looking at them thinking of other captions I would use that were funnier to me. I've always been interested in comedy and if I could go back in time, I would have pursued a career in writing for stand-up, sketch comedy or satirical sitcoms," Sarah told us in 2022.

She told Bored Panda that 30-somethings are people who are "learning to adult." "Some are family-focused, some are career-driven, some still have Peter Pan syndrome, and others are just plain lost in the growth they are expected to experience," she told us previously.

    For Sarah, our 30s are the time when we finally understand what we want, not what others want of us. "Whether it's material items, travel, children, investing or even more extreme partying, doors are opened that we didn't have in our 20s. We also have way more autonomy than we did in our 20s, which is good and bad. With more responsibility comes more freedom, but the opposite is also true."

If you want to go out you'll be the granny at the disco or the kid at the bar. And if you say someone is "about your age" it could be anything from 25-45

    There's more scientific evidence that your 30s might be your happiest decade. A 2012 survey by insurer Aviva asked 2,000 adults what is the best age to be, and the average came out to be 35. By that age, many people said they had reached certain milestones, but still had many good years ahead of them.

They're not children who need raising and gentle explanation. I don't understand why there are exclusively psychologists and psychiatrists who lack empathy.

    They left out the boring part in Shrek. If they would do this in a meeting, it would be over in 2 minutes as well.

    The British social networking site Friends Reunited did a similar poll in 2012. They asked people over 40 what their best years were, and many said it was when they were 33. "By this age innocence has been lost, but our sense of reality is mixed with a strong sense of hope, a 'can do' spirit, and a healthy belief in our own talents and abilities," psychologist Donna Dawson commented in the survey's findings.

Because if you ignore the slimy wet dead thing, you'll see that it's a photo of a guy who has a hobby and friends, gets out of the house, and even has a potentially useful skill.

If I don't get it out right then, there's a great chance that I won't get that thought back, at least not anytime soon.

    Part of the time I drive a small car. Part of the time I drive an extended length van. The van has to be pulled as far into parking spots as possible so you don't block the road behind you. As a result I tend to pull the small car all the way up, rather than stopping when the back end is far enough in, which would let people coming by looking for a spot see that there is a car there.

    The day is coming where a whole bunch of people who spent their teenage years within listening distance of a voice controlled smart assistant will have their private conversations, and idle musing leaked on to the internet for all the world to consume at will, with a database of their internet search history, and links to every social media account they frequent. That's considerably more terrifying than a cheap toy being mildly creepy.
