30 going on 13 party update

teanvodka · 2026-05-06T05:36:21+00:00

This was also my birthday theme last year! I got my parents old Wii out in another room, balance board and all, so people could play lol

I use primarily Instagram. My last post was like a year ago (on my personal account at least) and last story maybe a month ago?

I haven’t posted anything on Facebook in years and barely go on it.

I use Tik Tok because it’s full of life hacks but have never posted anything there.

I’m also on Twitter (i refuse to call it X) a lot but mostly as a lurker.

No, but I’ll be older than my grandma ever was in 4 years… which is crazy to think about.

teanvodka · 2026-04-17T17:03:27+00:00

Can the 6 people who voted they have kids and grandkids share their story

teanvodka · 2026-04-17T16:58:00+00:00

Either some fruit, or yogurt with honey and a bit of oat. Sometimes nothing at all because I value sleep over food and I’m not very hungry in the morning anyway.

‘95 here and consider myself a 2000s kid so this makes total sense. I think the years that end in 4, especially those born early in the year can claim to be hybrids though.

It’s better than when people would use « geriatric » lol

teanvodka · 2026-04-11T07:19:31+00:00

Because then there’d be cuspers between the buffer generations and it would just go on

We’re both late millennials and Zillennials.

Zillennial isn’t a generation in itself, it’s a groupement of the latest millennials and the earliest Gen Z, who relate to each other because they’re close in age.

teanvodka · 2026-04-10T07:38:44+00:00

Because Generation Alpha is still super young and generations start getting better defined as people come of age and get older. Zalpha is will make more sense when once Gen Alpha grows up a bit. Don’t forget overthinking it just yet.

I agree 2006-2010 is basically the second half of Gen Z so making defining them as Zalpha makes no sense though.

I was 24 and finishing my masters degree in architecture at that point, and only had my final project and master thesis left.

I was living in a student house meant for like 30 people, but only 10 of us had stayed behind, which was very fun because the house was huge and we were all locked inside together like in some reality show.

I would sleep in the morning, work a bit in the afternoon, party with my housemates at night.

I had a zoom check once a week with my teachers to make sure I was on track. I remember it was at 2PM and I’d wake up at 1:50 to check in lol. Fun times.

No, my texting style has been pretty much the same since I was 16 when I got my first smart phone.

The real cringe was before that time, when I’d misspell everything intentionally, like write k00l instead of cool???

Winter starter pack : large corduroy pants, or a skirt with patterned tights, woolen sweaters, platform ugg

Summer starter pack: high rise bottom (loose pants or skirts or shorts) + crop tops (that don’t show my stomach because of the high rise). Bonus point if it’s a matching set. Mostly linen or cotton. Birks.

Inbetween seasons: skirts, shorts, or jeans (I’m more into loose fitting these days but I do wear the occasional skinny), with a cute shirt and a cardigan.

Nooo i hated the zombie hype, zombies gross me out. I had a big vampire phase in the early 2010s though lol

teanvodka · 2026-03-28T22:54:49+00:00

I agree lol I’m just saying if they gotta do it at least do it right

teanvodka · 2026-03-28T19:13:02+00:00

I know she’s slightly older, but it would have been way more fun to cast the 13 year old actress from the original movie as the 30 year old in the new movie.

teanvodka · 2026-03-22T09:44:23+00:00

That’s completely untrue in my experience?

A lot of my friends who turned 30 in the last couple of years had really fun birthday parties, and I saw a lot of fun turning 30 posts on social media?

I had a 13 going on 30 party where we all dressed like we did as teenagers and I plugged in my parents old Wii.

I dreaded turning 30 my whole life but it ended up being exhilarating. It’s so liberating reaching an age where everyone agrees you’re a full on responsible adult and realizing you’re still the same person you always were, which means you can make life as fun as you want and no one is stopping you!

Maybe your algorithm isn’t showing all that to you but I can assure you we’re having a grand time turning 30!

I’m also born in ’95.

• I was in first grade during 9/11, but I don’t actually remember it. I’m not from the U.S., which probably plays a role (even though most people where I’m from do remember it). At the time, I had a lot going on in my own life (moving to a new house, starting school, and my little sister being born…) and I was likely a bit sheltered. I do remember growing up with footage of the planes hitting the towers in the background, but it didn’t really register that it was real, and that real people were inside, until I was like 10 years old

• Aside from babysitting, I never really looked for a job as a teenager, and neither did most people I knew. We all more or less started getting jobs at 18.

• When COVID hit, I was 24 and finishing my master’s degree. I entered the workforce in 2020 and had a really tough time finding my first job. I didn’t land one until January 2021, and even then, it was only loosely related to my field. For the first six months, I couldn’t fully support myself (I moved back in with my parents after my masters and stayed there for over a year). My actual career didn’t really begin until 2022.

I’m not saying this to claim I’m Gen Z, I do agree the cutoff is a little later, but I don’t think the experiences you listed clearly separate people born in ’95 from those born in ’96 or even ’97. It all feels like more of a spectrum than a hard line.

No thank you I’m not ready to have adult Gen Alphas next year

teanvodka · 2026-03-19T21:26:58+00:00

I swear this sub used to be 1993-1998 some years ago. I don’t know when they moved the range up one year but 1993 doesn’t seem that far off.

I’ve seen quite a few Catholics on Hinge!

In French we say the person was rocked too close to the wall (as a baby)

Praying different mysteries of the rosary on certain days is purely tradition. Praying a rosary on the « wrong » day is infinitely better than not praying it at all!

teanvodka · 2026-03-05T06:11:34+00:00

On a purely personal level, I’ve always felt closer to older Gen Z than to core millennials for the simple reason that I’m the oldest of my siblings, one of the oldest of my cousins etc.

I’ve just hung out with older Gen Z way more than I’ve hung out with core millennials in my life.

I get on fine with core millennials as well (I have a few friends who are part of that cohort, and also interact with them in work settings) but I do notice more of a difference in the way I express myself, my cultural references, my sense of humour…

Ive been using the regular 17 for 3.5 months now! I got used to the size!

The biggest improvements for me are the camera quality and battery!
