38 Things I Learned Upon Turning 38




1977- It really is the best year ever for music, movies, and TV! Honest...
1978- There's nothing wrong with wanting an early bird special...
1979- Getting the mumps is scarier than a nuclear meltdown, at least to a 2-year old...
1980- Empire Strikes Back is the Greatest Film Ever Made (and yes, I DO believe in miracles!)
1981-Abuse doesn't have to weaken you. You can suppress it. Sadly, when the memories come racing back, you then have to become strong again.
1982- When you already know how to read, learning the alphabet is
 bo-ring!
1983- You shouldn't scratch your chicken pox, but it feels oh so good...
1984- A Republican can win a presidential election- by a landslide!!!
1985- When this baby hits 88 MPH, you're gonna see some serious shi- (Oops, Language!)
1986- Hands Across America is like Communism- it works on paper but not when you live in the middle of nowhere...
1987-  Breaking your arm isn't all it's cracked up to be.
1988-  You're never too young to read 'A Brief History of Time.'
1989- I'm Batman
1990- Okay, maybe I'm not. Becoming a teenager is hard for some people
1991- Those expensive shoes you're just dying to have are killing my feet.
1992- Families break apart...
1993-  You Must Read the T-Rex escape scene during a massive rain storm. It's amazing!!!
1994-  Life is Like a Box of Chocolates, you never know what your gonna get!
1995- Just because you get baptized- you're not showing the world you are perfect. You're telling people "I'm saved despite my imperfections."
1996- If you peaked in high school, there's nothing left to look forward to in life.
1997- Wearing all black can really ruin a sunny disposition.
1998- You can find true love online (and no it's not a fat guy in disguise as a hot girl.)
1999- You don't have to sleep together or shack up to have a trial marriage. It's a good idea to role play and practice putting your finances together before things get real.
2000- In times when it looks like the world will end, people will fight over green beans opposed to batteries and candles for some reason...
2001- Losing a child doesn't mean you're not a parent anymore...
2002- Getting stranded in an ice storm can actually be kinda fun and rewarding.
2003- There's a first time for everything, like getting fired...
2004-  People will lose their freakin' minds over a flash of areola!
2005-  You will no go to hell or be supporting paganism for watching Harry Potter.
             The movie Madagascar? probably...
2006-  It takes 16 years for people to get their thumb...
2007- Learning to walk again is one of the most important steps you'll ever take.
2008- " If you forgive someone, that doesn't mean you have to see them ever again" is a big fat lie!
2009- ...Sometimes family get mended back together.
2010- Just because you have a BA degree in Area A that doesn't mean you go for the masters. Getting the degree in Area B might be the better choice...
2011- Job offers might not come until after you graduate.
2012- Sometimes the corporate route is better than the scenic route- it might not pay as much, but there are hidden perks they don't teach you about in school...
2013- Your never too old to become an orphan...
2014- The government wants the very best from you- things like your money, time, bodily fluids...
2015- The bullies in your life might have a better job, more money, lots of kids, but if you are a geek and you have tickets to see The Force Awakens a day before anyone else, you're doing okay for yourself.
