Guys we are old wtf

We are the old generation now everyone like melonial u guys are old <DCrying> This is the golden girls phase of our lives guys let’s go out with banging!
Either life keeps getting better or I just remain optimistic. Either way, I'm ok with old.
 
I will be turning 41 in October. While I don't look my age, I *feel* my age - not only physically, but I am becoming increasingly alienated from pop-culture and my ability to relate to younger people. I am surrounded by young people almost every day (I'm a university professor.... much like @lakersfan45 ), and they seem like alien creatures to me. I often find myself saying "When I was your age..." to my students, and making bad dad jokes.

Something that really hit me was finding out that I am classified as middle aged, and that I am older than the median age of the population.
 
If you are thinking your 40s is your Golden Girls phase, your body may be okay but you’re mentally broke already..

still got a long way to go, you’re just beginning your second life.

I'm 35 and it feels like it starts now. Now you see what you're made of.
