If we consider 1996 as the cutoff for the Millennial generation, that means the youngest Millennials are now 29 years old. Most others have already crossed into or well beyond their 30s.

Your 30s are often a decade you dread in your 20s, worrying about getting older and losing your youthful spark. But once you cross that threshold, you quickly realize it’s not as scary as you thought. In fact, it’s often better—you might have more money, better friends, a nicer job, and probably an upgraded fashion sense. Honestly, it’s great!

We hope Millennials today are thriving and enjoying life, even amidst the absurd challenges of the world. To celebrate them, we’ve gathered some hilarious and oh-so-relatable memes from the Instagram page “I Am Thirty AF.” Scroll down to check them out and enjoy a good laugh!

    Batman does not kill people, he just cripples them with his superior fighting skills, leaving them with a lifetime of medical debt. Forcing those people to commit crime to pay the bills. I bet Bruce Wayne's money is heavily invested in medical insurance companies.

    People *without* checked luggage should be allowed off first because we are planning to get the hell out of there ASAP. The rest of you are going to have to hang around at the baggage carousel anyway so why not spend some of that wait in the plane while those of us who have places to be or just want to get the hell away from other people make our escape.
