What made you say "fuck, I'm old" today?

I teach graduate students on their practical rotations. As I was putting my water bottle in my backpack, which I've been using since I started undergrad in 2001, while getting ready to leave work today it occurred to me that my backpack is older than my current grad students. Fucking christ that made me feel old.

What made you feel old today?
Seeing the calendar say June 29, 2025, with me being born October 1,1946!
 
I love the grey hairs I have (you can actually see some of them in my profile pic). Surprisingly, they don't make me feel old, cause they look like glitter strands they are so silver.
Gray and silver is hot. I especially like the phase when there is a silver, dark brown and golden hair combination
 
What a nice topic! I ordered pizza for dinner and the drive there takes me past the high school I graduated from and the huge pine trees out front by the road. I helped plant those trees when they were just tiny little saplings. That and my birthday coming up have me feeling old today
 
I listened to a group of interns and realized they were speaking in English with words that made absolutely no sense. Remember when the word "cool" or "rad" was radical? Lol
 
The fucking arthritis that makes it hard to turn my head and the serious creaking and crackling in my knees that scares the shit out of the cat when I lean down to feed her. Or just trying to figure out all the new smart shit on my stupid phone!
 
Heard a AC/DC song on the radio and realized my first concert I seen the lead singer was Bon Scott and it was46 years ago . Fuck that is a long time ago
