If we consider 1996 as the cutoff for the Millennial generation, that means the youngest Millennials are now 29 years old. Most others have already crossed into or well beyond their 30s.

Your 30s are often a decade you dread in your 20s, worrying about getting older and losing your youthful spark. But once you cross that threshold, you quickly realize it’s not as scary as you thought. In fact, it’s often better—you might have more money, better friends, a nicer job, and probably an upgraded fashion sense. Honestly, it’s great!

We hope Millennials today are thriving and enjoying life, even amidst the absurd challenges of the world. To celebrate them, we’ve gathered some hilarious and oh-so-relatable memes from the Instagram page “I Am Thirty AF.” Scroll down to check them out and enjoy a good laugh!

    this is why 1990s cartoon Batman is the only one i'll really accept as Batman. sure, he fights crime and kicks a*s, but he's also kindhearted and genuinely wants to help the criminals he fights. for example, when he fights baby doll, an exploited actress with a growth condition that makes her look like a child despite her actually being an adult (mid-20s, I think?), he doesn't really fight her. he lets her take her anger out on a mirror and comforts her, calmly taking her to jail(? been a while since I watched) instead of using bat-jitsu or whatever. this is the batman we should be idolizing and seeing on the big screen, not a violent, "damaged" a**hole. someone who cares, despite all the horrors he's seen. someone who knows when to pull his punches and be kind yet firm to those who have committed crimes.

    People *without* checked luggage should be allowed off first because we are planning to get the hell out of there ASAP. The rest of you are going to have to hang around at the baggage carousel anyway so why not spend some of that wait in the plane while those of us who have places to be or just want to get the hell away from other people make our escape.
