Deze 15 dingen ‘moet’ je bereikt hebben voor je 35ste (en het is hilarisch)

‘Moet?!’, denk je nu misschien verontwaardigd, ‘ik moet verdorie helemaal niets!’ Groot gelijk: je moet ook helemaal niks. Alleen dit lijstje met een flinke korrel zout nemen. 

Nadat de site MarketWatch had berekend dat je tegen je 35ste twee keer je salaris gespaard zou moeten hebben, besloot Twitter aan de haal te gaan met alles wat je nog meer bereikt zou moeten hebben voor die leeftijd. Hoeveel kun jij er afvinken?

1.

By age 35 you should have a huge box of cables but you can’t throw them out because you’re pretty sure you still need a couple of them but you’re not sure which ones

2.

By age 35 you should have at least one fork in your cutlery drawer that you just don’t like, and actively frown at if you accidentally grab it.

3.

By age 35 you should have a shelf full of books you can’t read because they’re not ebooks, but can’t throw away either because you intend to read them.

4.

by age 35 you should have a kitchen cabinet dedicated entirely to plastic bags that contain other, smaller plastic bags

By age 35 you should be able to re-watch Bridget Jones and think ‘You’re only 30 and you manage to afford to live alone?’

7.

By age 35 you should have learned to only write down the tasks and goals you’ve already accomplished so you can pretend everything is going just wonderfully.

8.

By age 35 you should have approximately 10 times the existential dread you had when you graduated high school.

9.

By 35 you should have at least two abandoned blogs, one dormant podcast or streaming channel, three RPG campaigns prepped but never run, and five unfinished novels (graphic, text, or interactive).

11.

By age 35 you should have enough life experience to justifiably hate everything and everyone

— Jon Topping (@jonisdope) May 20, 2018

12.

By age 35 you should have a drawer in your house filled with random items. That way, when you can’t find something, you’ll just check the junk drawer. And boom, just like that, you won’t find it there either.

13.

By 35, you should have turned water into wine, raised at least one person from the dead, founded a worldwide religious movement, died, descended into hell, risen again, and have been seated at the right hand of the Father for two years.

14.

By the time you’re 35, you should have used up at least one can of WD40.

— Katherine Mangu-Ward (@kmanguward) May 21, 2018

15.

By age 35 you should run into friends and say “WE SHOULD HANG OUT SOON!” twice a week. You will never hang out. You’ll just scream this at each other until one of you dies.
