4. Your 28th birthday was this year.
5. Your 29th birthday is next year.
6. All your passwords end in “85," which represents the year you were born.
7. Your mom was born in 1951, and she had you when she was 34, meaning you were born in 1985.
8. You remind everyone you were born during the football season of the 1985 Chicago Bears, only the best team in the NFL’s history.
9. That Chase credit card application you just filled out asked for your birthday, and you answered correctly because you’re an adult.
10. The fact that you remember your birthday was September 2, 1985.
11. Your most recent W2.
12. Your college student ID. It doesn't have your birthday on it, but it was issued when you were 18 in 2003, meaning you were born 18 years prior (i.e. during the 1980s).
13. That carnie at the state fair guessed right when he said you were 27 years old this past summer.
14. You definitely don’t feel like a teenager anymore, but you don’t have kids either. So, you’re probably in your late 20s.
15. That girl who you met last month in a bar will remind you that you told her you were 31, which you know was a lie by 3 years because you like girls thinking you’re mature but look young.

19. Your U.S. Passport with a decent amount of stamps in it will tell you that you were born 28 years ago.
20. You are fully, and completely aware that you are 28 years of age, and don’t need stupid reminders like pictures of Alf or snap bracelets to distract you from work when your career is so important right now because you’re in your late 20s.
21. You went to the first grade in 1990, which means you were either born in the 1980s or held back in kindergarten for a very long time (which you weren’t).
22. Your older brother always says things like “Wanna see 29?!” when you piss him off.
23. You were alive in 1989.
24. Your mom. Your mom will always remind you of these things when you forget. Because she’s your mom and she loves you.
