I don't undertand this thead unless OP is waxing on about his fleeting youth and the psychological ramifications of living in a college town full of teens and young 20 somethings.

Yeah, it happens. Didn't you get the memo at age 30?

Wake up at 7am after partying all night, chug down a couple of energy drinks, go meet up with your buds and out hang out wherever they do day after day after day.

Why is it weird for people in your own age group to start a conversation with you?

This is easy to remedy.

I don't agree with this as a blanket statement. Since I was a teen, I've always had friends of all ages, younger and older, as well as my age. Now, in my 40's, I have friends in their teens and 20's, and in their 80's and 90's, --all brilliant, creative people!--as well as friends my age. I LOVE that age diversity!

Well I guess it's not so weird after all.

It's just a few years ago I was young and it seams overnight I got old.

You know your getting old when college girls look like they should be in grade school.

Hair on the sides but on top bald. Now when my hair on the sides get long I shave my head bald to get rid of my gray hair. Saved a fortune on haircuts.
