Its been 13 years since HS for me, and I'm still in fecking grad school!  :o

Almost 15 for me since HS graduation (2003).

Still in grad school as well. Though only part time. Good luck finding the end of that road.

I just turned 46. Yeah, that happened. I feel old at 10pm and when I have to climb the stairs to go to bed. My wife is 49 though, so that helps me feel young. 🤣

It's not so much the "its been XX years since I graduated high school/college" that gets me depressed, its the "wow, I have just as long as I've been alive left to work till I can retire" that gets me down...

graduated in 96, got an as in 98 ... chased money around doing utility line clearance for over a decade before I decided that hard labor isn't an old man's game. I was right ... not even 40 yet and a cold front can cripple me. should have a bs finished in 2018 though ... probably follow up with a masters

My wife and I joke often that it's hard to picture ourselves as anything but in our 20s still, even though we're 41 and 44 respectively. At this point I've decided it's a function of the accelerated time sense that goes with age. "Wait...it's 2017? How did my kids got to be 13 and 11 that fast?" Anyway, nice to hear that so many of you are at a similar place in terms of age and experience. It's also cool that there are both younger and older folks here as well!

I imagine it's not safe to tell HER that, though! ;)

Don't feel that old

This is what's so weird to me. Just turned 41 (last week), but I still feel like I'm maybe 25. It's very strange getting older once you pass a certain point/age (which is a totally personal milestone).

Likewise (I'm 45, though I had to check that recently as I'd forgotten...). I've only recently started to feel older as there are things that are starting to wear out, ache or deteriorate (knees, back, sight, hearing, the usual), which is damned annoying. Mentally I never left my 20's and never plan to.

Properly embracing my mid-life crisis though with the old computers and consoles.

Y'all are making me feel young and grateful to have grown up when internet forums were widely available for super niche hobbies.
