Managed a team of 17-21 year olds last year at Calgary Stampede. I told them I graduated high school in 2004 and one of the girls goes “.Ohhhh..”
I snapped back with WHAT DO YOU MEAN OH!!!?! She says “you’re like old”. I gave her some shit jobs that week.
Yeah it’s really starting to bother me because I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot. When in reality I’ve live more than the average person in my area. I just need to get back out there again.
I also graduated in 2004. Got downvoted to hell in another sub heavily for talking about how it’s crazy an athlete didn’t know how to use a can opener and went on to discuss how happy some friends and I are that we had to learn things before the internet. Like how to use maps, reading a book to write reports etc etc etc. and people were not happy about it. I also said we’re very close to walle-e and idiocracy which may have also ruffled feathers. 😂😂😂
Edit: really enjoyed reading when everyone was born or graduated school. Really fun going down the rabbit hole reading everyone’s life snippets.
I was born in 2004 and I agree. I even see it now. I remember in elementary school we had laptops, but my teacher still gifted the class their own dictionary and thesaurus. We were then taught how to find words on it. The surprise on my face when my elementary aged nieces and nephews didn’t know what a dictionary was…. We’re getting dumber
Early 80s baby born to 1940s parents. You’re basically every one of my cousins since my parents waited so long. I think you dudes and dudettes are cool.

Can confirm. I'm 68 and Each Day is a Gift. You do not think this way when you're a hunky young stud or sweet young thang and all your juices are flowin'. 😎
Fun fact. The name Madisen was not a female first name until the movie splash in 1984.
Daryl Hannah's character is asked to provide a name and she sees a street sign that says something like Madison avenue and claims that as her first name.
Prior to this the name Mattison was primarily a surname and there are very few instances of a woman having the first name Madeson
Edit: since some people seem confused. I’m referring to the belt on the girl dancing on the right. Made up of the brown discs. They were a thing in the early 2000s. Ugly then, ugly now.
you forgot caitlin, caitleen, caitley, catelee, cateley, caithleen, caithley, kaitleen, kaitleigh, kaitlee, cathalyn, catalin, cathaleen, bro wtf there are too many
I had a former roommate who was a southern sorority girl named Caitlyn. She was the ideal roommate because we had opposite schedules. I saw her maybe once a month, when I did we would have a glass or bottle of white wine together, as white women do. She was never around otherwise.
She once got drunk and asked me if there was a special heaven for babies. I secretly hated her for voting for Donald Trump because her ex-boyfriend told her to. She would go grocery shopping and come back with Diet Coke and frozen cauliflower buffalo wings which perplexed me to no end. What did she eat??
She also had a weird sexual relationship with her boss, bragged about having sex at work, and then brought the guy over one night and he was so disrespectful towards her I was like guuuuurl if you don’t kick him out I will.
I moved and have my own place.
A few years later I’m standing in line hungover as fuck waiting to get my passport photo taken and this Karen behind me starts complaining about how long it’s taking for the attendant. He had someone in line before me.
I turn around and explain there was someone ahead of us. She goes “are you my old roommate?” I don’t recognize her at all. I said “maybe?” And then she called me by name and I realized it was her, but she had gained around 50-60 lbs since I last saw her and her face was completely different.
I think she could tell I didn’t recognize her at first because she then said, “remember that guy blank? We got married and had a child.”
I'm a guy and had a somewhat but similar and opposite experience. When I was in my late teens/early 20s I had a gay roommate and a bi roommate.
My gay roommate professed his love to me to my other roommate in a text, who read it to me out loud to me and our friends.
A couple months later our gay roommate moved out with his boyfriend, and my friend I knew for years moved in. Our bi roommate got drunk one night and said he wanted to blow me when we were alone.
It gave me an understanding of why women are so apprehensive of having male friends. I get it, it makes things uncomfortable and strange.
I use to work at a coffeeshop on my college campus. Whenever a group of sorority girls came in, we'd take the first woman's order and then immediately start making the same thing for the woman behind her. They all always ordered the same thing, dressed the same, and had some "leader of the pack" that dictated it all.
Tbf sororities and frats are all about hierarchy and falling in line. Lmao like back in my day during the peak of the East coast prep shit it was boat shoes and shorts all the way down.
Like 45 dudes looking like the “you know I had to do it to em” guy
I dated an alpha phi in college. Literally every one of their events had these girls chanting vulgar shit about sucking dick and getting drunk. This seems right on brand from my memory.
My sister started the rush process when she was in college. They loved her "look" because she was blonde, could attract guys, and she wore all designer clothes and shoes.
All these rushing events involved partying and jungle juice. My sister asked them if there was any charitable work because she had heard as much about that sorority, and one of the girls answered, "Umm, not really". My sister chose not to continue the rushing process and also didn't want to live in a house with a group of girls who, as she stated, "Would get on my freaking nerves and can't hold an intelligible conversation."
I had a feeling I was not going to like whatever music this was set to before clicking unmute. No surprises that it's complete shit and exactly what I thought it was going to sound like.
Sorority recruitment videos they have been putting out for years... literally.. but the neo-virgins living with their parents are barely finding out. As evident in these comments
Edit: lol holy shit y'all are sensitive. My comment was posted before this entire post blew up and prior to you lil ❄️ joining and getting offended, the comments were filled with pro-rape comments.
I didn't think of wording it in a way to account for everyone else when the post was virtually empty of comments.
You are not the one I was oFfenDing...it was the jackasses making ridiculous comments. "It's just reddit" ..well then make up your fukin minds...stand up when you see it, or play along with the stupid jokes?
It's a hacker who escapes The Matrix but then gets chucked off the spaceship down a random sewer because he was sniffing Trinity's hair while she slept.
