I'm Old

Recently, I've started to realize that I am getting old.

I mostly blame Adele for this. At the age of 21, she wrote an album that ended up going ten times platinum in the United States alone. When I was 21, I wasn't writing anything longer than 140 characters.

Despite the fact that Adele is only a year older than me, it is people like her the make me feel unaccomplished for my age.

Last night I went to bars with a few of my friends, and once the clock hit 1 AM I got worried. Not because someone was missing, but because I was worried about messing up my sleep cycle. I didn't go to bed until 2:30, and this meant that I would have to sleep in much later than normal to get my 8-hours.

Is this normal? I really don't feel that other recent college grads are concerned about their sleep cycles on Saturday nights. But this seems to be happening to a lot of my friends. Slowly, they are finding things that are making them adults. As we realize these small things that make us adults, we slowly being to realize something else. Being an adult is lame.
