I was in my 40s when I finally accepted that grown-ups are a myth.
If you really want to feel like a grown up, make a Simpsons reference to one of your GenZ coworkers
I teach nights at a university for my side gig, and I have students this year who weren't born when the iPhone was released.
Holy shit
ive heard rumors about genz coworkers, but ive heard they are ultra rare.
And looking back, I don’t understand how I made it to thirty.
I feel like a knew for a lot longer than that, but goddamn does every passing moment just reinforce it harder and harder
