10 Things You Experience When You Feel Like You Were Born In The Wrong Decade
TimeOut


After listening to a radio station that plays primarily 70's to early 2000's music literally all summer long (and when I'm home in general), I've decided to make a list of all the feelings I have on being obsessed with the 80's and 90's, and how much I love the music, culture, and styles of those past decades I didn't partake in.

1. Listening to a station with songs from a certain decade, and jamming out more than you do to modern day music.


2. Watching T.V. shows and movies from a decade and being up with the slang.

3. “Why can’t theme songs be as good as they used to be?”

4. Watching modern T.V. shows about a past decade and wanting to automatically join the characters (i.e. “The Carrie Diaries,” “Hindsight”).

5. Thinking on a daily basis, “Kids these days don’t know how good they have it.”

6. Hearing your parents talk about their lives when you were their age and feeling a sense of jealousy or longing to be in that time.

7. Hearing the opening to a hit, but obscure song from the decade and automatically breaking out into a complete singing and dancing mode

8. Asking your parents for their old clothing so you can wear it to look just like a kid from that time.

9. Or, if they gave it all away, going to a thrift shop or Goodwill just to get some outfits from there to put together.

10. Knowing you have the best of both worlds by being up to date on the times and well informed on the old ones.

Maybe you were born in the wrong decade, but at least you can still apreciate what they had going back then

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
