In honor of his 30th I made him a card with 30 reasons why turning 30 rocks:
30
Reasons Why Turning 30 Rocks!
- This is the age range that you’ll get your Doctorate, in your 30’s you will finally realize your lifeline dream to be Dr. Jones. (I still don’t support paying a small Asian man to follow you around for a day to call you Dr. Jones all day but you 2 years left to change my mind)
- You have AWESOME friends. It may have taken 30 years to sift through the sea of acquaintances but you did it and you have a really incredible group of friends. You are also mature enough now to put the work in to keep those amazing friends. Iron sharpens iron and you are surrounding yourself with the people who bring out the best in you.
- You get to check a new age group box on forms.
- You get to say “I remember when I was in my 20’s”
- You are now the youngest in your age range!
- When you get carded now it is a compliment instead of an annoyance.
- You don’t have to worry about being 30 because you are in a place where you are comfortable with who you are.
- You are not alone; we are all there or almost there with you.
- You finally learned to quit trying to find yourself and are making the most with the skills and gifts you have to create yourself exactly where you are.
- “There are far, far better things ahead than we leave behind” – C.S. Lewis
- People naturally take you more seriously when you are in your 30’s.
- Being an adult is no longer a struggle because you have years of practice under your belt.
- You don’t have to wait for Santa to bring you the things you want; you can get your own.
- Like the Christina song, you just “Keep Getting Better”
- Instead of stressing about acne you can look forward to stress about wrinkles and gray hair.
- You have finally matured enough to realize the things people stress about in their teens and twenties are often insignificant.
- You have an appreciation for the little things in life and are content with life’s simple pleasures.
- You can afford to spend a little more money on things that have better quality and will probably last a lot longer.
- You can look back on your childhood and realize it wasn't that bad and appreciate how much you have grown through all the bumps along the way.
- You have realized perfect doesn't exist and that is a complete relief.
- You realize your parents were right about just about everything. Regularly you find yourself thinking “Oh! That is what they meant.”
- Like a fine scotch you are getting better with age and are best when sharing in the company of your dear friends.
- You get 10 full years to prepare for turning 40.
- All the life lessons you learned in your early 20’s can now be applied to your life.
- Your wife is hot! Even before we were as mature as you are know you recognized a good thing when you saw it and always worked to maintain our relationship. Glad we both managed not to mess up such a good thing. I love you!
- You are MUCH smarter now and have a wall of degrees to prove it. I can’t find to add your final degree to your amazing list of accomplishments.
- Age is just a number. You know how to embrace your inner child and remain goofy, loving, and carefree.
- Turning 30 is not game over its like leveling up in a video game. You collected everything you need and you are ready for the new step up.
- You are the same age as your childhood heroes (James Bond, Indiana Jones, John McClane, and Ghostbusters). Almost all iconic cinematic heroes are over thirty.
- You have an excellent perspective on life and have learned how to appreciate the good things in your life and not sweat the small stuff. Turning 30 is just the gateway to the next exciting chapter in your life! In your 30’s you’ll complete your doctorate, we’ll buy our next house (a real one with a yard and doors), and we’ll try and start our family!
