⑤. Becoming markedly less insecure about all of the things which used to torture you in adolescence, such as whether you are wearing the coolest brand of jeans. (You know that you can’t afford those jeans regardless, so it doesn’t even matter if people think they’re cool.)

　　对那些曾让青春期的你倍感烦恼的事情明显少了很多介意，例如牛仔裤是否够大牌(其实你知道自己无论如何也买不起大牌牛仔裤，所以别人怎么想，你都无所谓了。)

　　⑥. Learning to temper the existential crises you go through when you are referred to as “sir” or “ma’am” by kids who aren’t even that young.

　　当被小孩(或许还不是特别小的小孩)叫成“叔叔”或“阿姨”时，你会感到恼火不已。

　　⑦. Understanding much more quickly who is right or wrong for you in a romantic sense, and not being as willing anymore to stick around with someone who clearly doesn’t make the grade.

　　在恋爱方面，能很快判断出对方适不适合自己，再也不会随便跟“不达标”的人耗时间了。

　　⑧. Getting more and more brave when it comes to deleting people from your phone/friends list/life in general when you are just getting tired of them being around you and can feel that they’re dragging you down.

　　一旦厌倦身边某些对自己有消极影响的人，你不再犹豫不定，而会果断把这类人从自己的通讯录或生活中“拉黑”。

　　⑨. Becoming more acutely aware of how precious all the time you have with your older family members is, and how not a single day with them is guaranteed.

　　越来越强烈意识到：和年长的亲人在一起的时光太宝贵，说不定哪一天他们就不在了。

　　⑩ Making yourself a more financially-oriented person, even if you don’t have that much capital to work with at any given time. (No matter how much you’re earning, you know that there is always a better way you could be budgeting it, even if you don’t want to admit it.)
