22 is the new 40.

Maybe this is silly, but I’m 22 years old, and I already feel like I am running out of time.

If I were Britney Spears, I would have already released 4 albums. If I were Bill Gates, I would have already dropped out of Harvard and started my own computer software company.

What happened to famous people being older than me? Like when I was 12 and was totally in love with the Backstreet Boys even though they were way too old for me (like 18-26)? I would be the perfect age for them now! But of course not — now we’ve got Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart, the Jonas Brothers…all younger than me. Lame. Bring back the 20-somethings so I can feel like I am at my prime; 22 year-olds should not feel middle aged! At least Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson are on my side.

Although, speaking of celebrities, I have the urge to join the hundreds of other folks who have recorded their own versions of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” music video. Will someone buy me a black one shoulder long sleeved leotard and a pair of heels? That song is just so damn catchy.

….then I remember I can’t dance. Much less dance in high heels. But it would still be fun.

    Don’t forget about watching the Olympics last summer and all the teenagers winning gold medals! If you were a gymnast, you would be two Olympics too late. I guess that’s one hobby to rule out. :p

    And as for the Single Ladies video, I will volunteer to be that one backup dancer that looks like a man.

      Good thing I am perhaps the most inflexible person on the planet. No gymnastics for me! If I were to play an Olympic sport, it would probably be beach volleyball.

        I’m pretty sure beach volleyball players are all about 7 feet tall. lolo
