Aaah, 22 today, and I still haven't really done shit with my life. I'm still a server at a Mac Shack (Macaroni Grill), still haven't completed college, and wtf, I'm still single.
You also know you're starting to get old when you look at those car magazines with the hot sluts all spread out over the cars in their bathings suites and you think "fuck, I really should wash my car this weekend."

Wait till you're in "the latter half of your 20's" 
Of course by then I'll be saying "you start to feel old in your 30's" 
Happy birthday DRTMaverick! Here's to a good one

Five years until I'm 30. Four years until my High School reunion. Fuck, I hope I can make something of myself in that time.

I'm 25 and I still feel pretty young 
But I'm pretty sure I'll die before I'm 35.

Bah. I'm 28 ( i think... counts his fingers)
You're only as old as you allow yourself to feel.
I got a lotta buddies that are artists or in bands and they're getting like 25-26-27-28... and they tell me it's depressing to get into your late twenties and to have to admit that you're not going to make it by an artist How are they supposed to overdose on heroin and commit suicide by the age of 27 as a famous rock star if they haven't made it famous by now? Hah!
I tell them.. BAH!!! VAN GOGH didn't even get into painting until he was 27! You've got plenty of time to OD or cut your ears off, my friends! Patience!
All my older friends in their 30's and 40's tell me their 20's sucked anyways... they all seem to come to a concensus that 28 is the worst.. and after that LIFE gets way easier, year by year.
I live my life by Bill Murray's quote in Lost in Translation.
chick: "Is life always this tough, or does it get easier?" bill murry: "It's always like this. But the older you get, the more you know who you are and what you want.. so the less you let things upset you".

Happy BDay dude!!
I turned 25 this past aug and was in a right depression about it.
anywho, don't fret over being 22 and working a shitty job, no one seems to take you seriously until you're at least 25.
Server jobs are fun, you probably work with a ton of fun people, so enjoy it!
erm, but you should probably seek out a "real job" or finish college. at this point it's one or the other- start at the bottom of a career path where experience is worth more than a degree or finish your education. and you'll probably want to keep your serving job and work it during nights b/c without much experience you'll get shite pay.
but, yeah! it's your fucking birthday! don't worry about this stuff today. If your parents are still around and you live near them have your mom cook you a nice supper then go out and rightfully fuckered up!

26 going on 27 and same here bro. To be perfectly honest I stopped counting after 21. When someone asks me how old I am I have to subtract 1981 from whatever year it is. I've dropped out of college twice. Quit a shit load of jobs. Sold and done a lot of drugs. Fucked a lot of whores. Dodged a few arrests. Drank hundreds of gallons of liquor and beer. On the positive side... I've had my fill of hard drugs and don't touch them anymore. I'm pretty good at growing shrooms. I've seen most of the country. I've got a good amount of street smarts. And I've stopped letting my cock make decisions for me. I just recently started to feel older. I realized this one day last summer when I was sitting on a a friends front porch drinking beer in the middle of the afternoon and I yelled at some kids for playing in the street. I said "Your going to get hit by a car." Right after I said that, I looked at my friend and said "My god, I'm old." Up until that point I wouldn't have said anything because I didn't care if the kids got hit by a car. I have a 10 year High School reunion coming up in 2009. I have no plans on going since I hated most of the people I went to High School with. I may go if I can get my hands on a large quantity of LSD to try to covertly dose as many people as possible. That would be entertaining; for me anyway.

Well, unless you were born with a special skill or a silver spoon in your mouth, 22 is pretty early to "do shit" with your life.
As long as this year is better than last, then you are on your way. Thats my philosophy anyway.
Remember, you only get older from here.
Edit: Be happy you are single and not stuck with some shrew.
-------------------- "To do right is to know what you want. Now when you are dissatisfied with yourself it's because you are after something you don't really want. What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself. I don't meant that if you chose to pursue the objects you most value, you will attain them; of course not. Your experience will tell you that. But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana

Most of y'all don't know what old is yet! Old is when you get injured just having sex!
If I'm not careful, my hip goes out. THat's old.
I do remember when I turned 25 being upset with myself because I didn't have my shit together yet. That pretty much didn't happen until I turned 30.

Oh man 22 is not old... nobody has their shit together by that age these days.
I just turned 27 and suddenly I felt a lot older. But I'm in my twenties!
Ten years from now you'd kill to be 22 (or 25!) Ten years from then, you'd kill to be 32.
Don't worry about it, just keep moving forward. People restart their careers in their 40s these days, because they never gave themselves what they wanted in life. You are in a tremendous position to do and be anything you want.

Happy belated!! Yea, i turned 22 a few weeks back, and i was thinking the same thing. Its like my 21st was recently, time just flys by. Its key to appreciate everything and to always be working on everything. I fall idle a lot, and a whole month goes by and I've just been fucked up everyday, shaving once a week, sitting around online on the shroomery, just being worthless its sad,sad,sad. ya just gotta do everything right in this moment cause Happy 23rd is right ahead.
