    Expand your mind babe. 25-30 is about getting fired, sleeping with losers, googling your many concerning illnesses instead of going to the doctor, and being so broke that loose change in your car floor mats decides whether you get a small or medium McDonald’s Diet Coke https://t.co/EhhaMvOVhv

    25-30 is such a weird age group. You have to dwell on your youthful experiences of eating madeleines and begin to synthesise them into a seven-volume novel about lost time https://t.co/RjSs4jTt6s

    25-30 is such a weird age group. You suddenly find yourself being referred to as an ‘Over’, and have to audition for the live finals at Louis Walsh’s house in Dublin, while the other groups get to go to LA and Saint-Tropez. https://t.co/B3mDWqByU4

    25-30 is such a weird age group. Your bloom has begun to fade and you have come to regret breaking off your engagement with a penniless naval officer on the advice of a family friend https://t.co/dk8mIGyPnl

    a lot of you acting like 30 is the end of your life and yes. it's true. when you turn 31 they take you out back and you never emerge again. https://t.co/aTvrnXwUT2
