      What if I turn thirty eighteen days before January 15th? This post makes me a little depressed about turning thirty.

      Why always with the 30? When did that start? Is it some kind of legitimate age, beyond which you’re no longer “aspiring,” you’re just either a success or a failure? I’m with Ryan Call, except I’d push it a little further. 33 and under. 33 seems like a much cooler number anyway. It even looks better. And it’s on beer bottles, sometimes.
