Funny Tweets for Millennials That Sum up Your 20s vs Your 30s

Being in your 20s is basically living the most carefree version of your life — you're no longer a teenager, so your parents are (less) up your face, you make a lot of mistakes but recuperate somewhat quickly (like eating pizza when you're questionably lactose intolerant) and you have a lot of fun dressing up like a semi toddler (Y2K fashion what upppp).

When you're 30, you can no longer stay up till 4 am (with the exception of being newly in love, and we all know that only lasts like a month till you're back to normal), you cannot eat that pizza any longer without taking one pill or another beforehand (also, must happen before 7 pm), and you have an emotional connection to your frying pan.

'I'll never be like my parents!' is all good and well until you find yourself yelling at your partner midday about the fact they left a light on. Ah, to be old-er. Scroll down for some of the funniest, most relatable tweets we've compiled that sum up what being in your 20s vs your 30s is like.
