I miss being able to drink with very little hangover, and being able to eat whatever with little consequences.

I also miss my 21 year old finances, 31 year old finances suck.

5/27/2015 7:16:24 PM

I was 17. I don't miss much at all about it. I've got it made now.

5/27/2015 7:27:27 PM

Relatively little responsibility back then, comparatively

I miss my 22 year old body, that didn't really need to exercise to stay in shape

I lived a party life back then with hoes on hoes on hoes. I don't know if I miss that, but it was different

I'll try to think of more later

5/27/2015 7:34:03 PM

I was 25 and in college. Now I am 35 and going to be laid off in 2 days.

5/27/2015 7:41:44 PM

just the better health

well, and more friends I guess because I was still up in Raleigh

idk

I'd do it all over in a second if I could

5/27/2015 7:47:50 PM

Playing for the Dillon Panthers, banging Tyra and drinking crazy amounts of beer.

5/27/2015 7:57:39 PM

I was 20, in college with lots of hot bitches.

Now I'm 30 and live in the middle of nowhere where there are no remotely hot bitches.

[Edited on May 27, 2015 at 8:17 PM. Reason : in conclusion, I miss hot bitches]

5/27/2015 8:36:08 PM

I was 20 and going to class

Now I'm 30 and I go to work

5/27/2015 9:36:26 PM

I was in my prime. Now I'm mid life crisising with too much responsibility to actually do anything about it.

5/27/2015 9:39:52 PM

i wasn't 21 yet and I was broke so I couldn't even go out.. Now I have a daughter and I'm broke and can't go out. But at least I was in really good shape.

5/27/2015 10:02:59 PM

I was 18, so everything.

5/27/2015 10:07:56 PM

Hmm.

Not having to deal with my daughter's mother quite yet.

5/27/2015 10:11:35 PM

My mother. She was pretty awesome.

At 25 I was starting my career, and just started dating my wife. Don't really miss a whole lot other than my mom and my metabolism.

5/27/2015 10:19:03 PM

I miss coloring and going to the playground.

I haven't done any of that since I turned 43.

5/27/2015 11:16:29 PM

^^^can you tell the story again about how she got pregnant? I recall you saying you were barely dating (or at the least, not planning on breeding with her)

^^ so sorry to hear that.


I miss being in college with very little responsibility (besides writing awesome papers and acing exams). I really, really loved college - even/especially the learning portion. I miss being outside every single day (even in cold, snowy Indiana winters). I miss meeting friends at dining halls and thecollegeweb playing volleyball with professors and pulling all-nighters and easy-Mac (powder, not sauce packet) and drinking with friends until 7am

5/27/2015 11:33:54 PM

I miss the fact that I never had occasional partial suicidal tendencies

5/28/2015 12:27:47 AM

I miss when TWW didn't suck

5/28/2015 12:34:06 AM

so you miss nothing? :3

5/28/2015 12:35:37 AM

I did not think of TWW, but TWW circa 2005 was much more entertaining.

5/28/2015 1:01:41 AM

I still don't get much of a hangover, but I do get the occasional dirty look. When I was 20, the more I drank the more impressed everybody was. At 30, I have to pump the brakes early and often.

I was probably even poorer at 20, but who cared then? I drank PBR and plastic handle whiskey. I ate Bojangles and smoked Basic lights. If you suddenly gave me a Scrooge McDuck-sized fortune I would still have consumed exactly the same shit. Money would not have made me switch to Macallan 24, Angus Barn, and Cohibas. Nowadays I'm poor but can't live like a college bachelor bum, because I'm not in college and I'm not a bachelor. And the idea of accepting money from my folks makes me die on the inside, so my poverty is very real and present.

But by far the biggest thing is the metabolism. I'm fatter than I was then in spite of eating half as much.

5/28/2015 4:23:50 AM

I actually don't miss it too much because I was ridiculously hardcore into my studies and didn't really get out that much aside from the times that I would spend with this wonderful dude up here ^ (of which I am eternally grateful). Now, I actually have a more consistent social life and get to hang out with people once or twice during the weekday on the regular. And, for whatever reason, I handle my alcohol much better now. I can easily go out and drink 3 liters and still be up and ready for work the next morning at 730.

But, I definitely agree that the only thing that I miss dearly is the metabolism, and not just because you could eat whatever you want, but more because it made my marathon training and such much easier when I just shed the pounds as I run. Now, I have to run more and actively try to lose weight by dieting. Before, when I was at my 3:30 pace and such, I was actually monitoring my calories so that I wouldn't loose too much, and I would often times go on a carb binge to stay above 160.

Freedom

5/28/2015 7:28:13 AM

I also miss the short refractory periods, sex-wise. It was mind-boggling. I could fuck 6, 7 times a day, easy. I don't claim to have been any good at it, and I freely admit that none of those rounds lasted any impressive amount of time. But man, if I could combine the experience and staying power of 30 with the sheer volume of 20*, it'd make tantric sex look like impotence.

*-Well, 21. At 20 I still hadn't had sex, period.

5/28/2015 8:14:45 AM

5/28/2015 8:24:27 AM

I was going to say the military, then I realized that I was already done with my first year of graduate school post-military.

I do miss grad school. It was an awesome program with awesome people and I loved being in Atlanta.

In about 6 weeks from now it will be when I found out my girlfriend was cheating on me. I'm glad I got her out of my life, but it also made me miss the once chance I had to reconnect with a British girl that I was crazy for who was swinging through the states. Like the loyal boyfriend I was, I didn't do anything when I had the invitation, and she went on her travels from there.

Can't complain. I love my family now. But will always be the one "what if" I have.

5/28/2015 8:34:17 AM

10 years ago I was wasting my time in a relationship that was going nowhere. Wish I would have wised up to that sooner. And I was still smoking a lot of dope and not really paying attention in class. So i don't miss a ton from 10 years ago. But 8 years ago was awesome.

5/28/2015 8:35:07 AM

I miss NOT having a hard time finding friends to stay out drinking with me past 9pm. Hell 10 years ago we usually hadn't even started at 9pm

Old ass people, 10 years ago I was living with my parents in podunk eastern NC, in a town that's main attraction is Walmart (not a super walmart).

I miss NOTHING about that time period...well maybe varsity football but thats it.

5/28/2015 9:39:21 AM

Not having to worry about mortgages and having babies. Just doing school work, exercising, drinking, and trying to fuck as many girls as possible.

5/28/2015 10:30:31 AM

Honestly, not much. Maybe hair? I've actually come to prefer the bald look though.

I've always had shit metabolism so that's out, I get fewer hangovers from the same amount of partying I used to do, I have more money and my own place, can easily sustain my habits/vices, and have a solid job.

5/28/2015 10:39:39 AM

the only thing I miss from 10 years ago is still living in Raleigh. maybe just being younger and having less random aches and pains. otherwise, most everything else is as good or better now.

5/28/2015 12:36:56 PM

living in raleigh

bartending

5/28/2015 12:42:29 PM

I kind of miss having room mates sometimes.

Yeah its quieter with just me the wife and the dog, but the shenanigans involved with room mates was quite entertaining.

5/28/2015 4:31:02 PM

Man I wish I could go back to 18. Let's see..

I was:
- In the best physical shape of my life
- Banging my hot girlfriend on the daily
- Living on my own and going to State
- Had all the time in the world
- My friends all lived close by and had all the time in the world
- I never got hungover no matter how much I drank
- I didn't really have to pay for shit
- Classes were easy as shit
- I was all positive about my future and shit

Now I'm:
- In just about the worst physical shape of my life
- In a slump, to say the least
- I did just buy a condo downtown, which is nice and will hep to correct^ I hope
- Have very little time comparatively
- Most people I was close with throughout college have moved and coordinating any extended trip or vacation with more than 1-2 people is nearly impossible.
- I have discovered that 2-3 day hangovers are actually a thing that exists
- I pay for all the shits
- Work is boring as hell
- I relate to the movie Office Space more and more every day

On the bright side, though, it's nice to make money and buy stuff and do things without asking permission (be it from parents, girlfriend, wife, etc.). I'd love to go back for my doctorate but I think I'd miss the money too much to go back to a college lifestyle/wage.

So you didn't marry the hot girlfriend you were banging on the regular?

5/28/2015 4:53:05 PM

I miss having two feet, and not having to put a foot on to go to the bathroom at night.

Otherwise I'm happier than I have ever been in my life right now.

5/28/2015 4:58:51 PM

I miss the fact that I hadn't fucked up too much yet and I still had unlimited resources to get my college education. I miss not having bills to pay. I miss the fact that the only thing I had to be responsible for was getting to class. I also miss some of the friends I had 10 years ago. I wish I was able to keep in touch better with some of them.
If I could go back, knowing what I know now, I'd be in a different boat today.

However, I don't miss still having to answer to my parents (since they were paying the bills). I don't miss living in a dorm room. I don't miss hanging my head off the bed into a trash can puking at least once a week. I don't miss acting like a fucking idiot at 18. I don't miss my promiscuity. I don't miss my general lack of maturity. I don't miss my drinking habits.

5/28/2015 5:20:25 PM

among other things, I miss cigarettes.

5/28/2015 5:22:04 PM

ITT, confirms adulthood sucks.

5/28/2015 6:33:35 PM

My youth, metabolism, and lack of responsibility.

Everything else is way better now.

5/28/2015 6:50:20 PM

I dunno. In general, life always sucks...it just sucks differently at different times. I'm happy in spite of it, and I'm happier now for sure.

But I guess I'd say I miss chillin' with friends. I can still do nothing on my own, but it's next to impossible to get five other people to do nothing with me. Everybody has a spouse to do nothing with now.
