I had an LG dumbphone between... 2011 and last year which I would turn off by throwing it against the wall so the battery would fall out. It still works perfectly, but the phone company shut off the Wi-Fi it was running on a year or two ago, and I have now downgraded to a flip phone.
This feels like a good metaphor for my underwhelming, largely static 20s as they draw to a close. Yours sound like they were fun, though! God, living in Philly *and* St. Petersburg *and* Seoul - so cool. Working in big law - um, less cool, probably, but maybe I'll find out firsthand in my 30s. We'll see. (And maybe I'll upgrade to an iPhone on John Q. Lawfirm's dime? Har har.)
Weirdly enough, I've been thinking a lot lately about how my 20s (especially mid/late 20s) was more of a pedestrian decade compared to my 30s. My 20s felt more buttoned-down and sequestered than my 30s, when really, shouldn't it be the other way around?
I feel like boring 20s, fun 30s is the best move, especially relative to the opposite: You're too stupid to appreciate the freedom of a fun 20s, but the specter of that fun period of your life will haunt your waking hours as a boring 30-something yuppie. :P
Let's not get ahead of ourselves! I'm just studying for the LSAT now. Still don't know how much I actually would like to go to law school, let alone be an attorney (and let alone work somewhere huge for 80 hours a week - actually, I know *exactly* how much I would like that :P). Maybe you have perspective on that?
Oh nice, thanks! Yeah, I guess I should've known something like this was available since people were face-scanning their way through the turnstiles lol
