Lots of sleeping, lots of body pain. SO FUN.
Believe it or not, there’s actually a lot to laugh about when you hit that magical age range of your late 30s to early 40s. In fact, I’d argue there’s even more to laugh about as you get older because you begin to realize everything is stupid and laughable. So here’s a look at some perfectly funny tweets that sum up what it’s like being an old millennial…or older. Enjoy:

I think a thing that young people could not possibly understand about Gen X and older Millennials is that our entire personalities were shaped by watching shows that weren’t at all for us or even interesting to us just because they were on

This confusing realization:
Being in your 30s means technically you’re a millennial but you also remember when paying with a credit card meant the cashier sighing heavily and pulling out the SHUNCK SHUNCK machine

This breakdown of headache types:
Being in your 30s is just spending all your time working out what kind of headache you’ve got. Not enough caffeine? Too much caffeine? Dehydrated? Overhydrated? Tired? Too much screen time? Stress? Something incurable? Who knows.
