When I am 24 or 25-year-old this year,I get up from the bed at 7 o'clock in the morning,no longer 12 in the noon as before.I go to bed from the midnight changed into 11 pm.
When I am 24 or 25-year-old this year,I have to contact with all sorts of people in my work.When I go home and see my relatives and my friends,they will ask my salary and my marriage instead of my study.
When I am 24 or 25-year-old this year,our chat topic will from a variety of online games into a car,a house……When we have a meal together,we will ofen talking about his plan to get married,which years she got married……
I think this is the same situation of most of us,we have to go through.

I am 25 years old.
People ask me how my children are and how I am doing in college. They ask about my freelancer business and other smaller things. They ask about my marriage but most assume it is fine which it is. I get up every morning at 7:30 - 8 and don't go to sleep until between 12 and 2 in the morning. I am always on the move and usually don't have much time to have a sit down and eat a family meal usually I try for dinner but sometimes that doesn't work out. I also don't see relatives nearly that often and so there is not point in that. I do however interact with many different people for work. I do live in a different country however and that may have something to do with it.

hi there elenaliu,
what you have posted is absolutely correct. that whenever a person reaches that age, he/she was being asked about the plans for a marriage life. and i think this is very common to all even in other nationalities. as i have friends from other countries who are also asked the same by their parents and friends. and with me here, i guess, they are all fed up hearing the same answer every time they asked me about the married life topic.

Part of growing up and being matured. There are certain things that life will give at such age. Some do get the quarter life crisis and experience a lot of volatility in their life.

Hi,
My son is 24 years old. My sisters, my parents and relatives always talk about his marriage. he has good job. You are right. some relatives ask what is his salary, When will he marry. What are his expectations for the girl to whom he want to marry? When will he buy a new house for him and so on.

well the grass in greener on the other side always. As kids when we needed elders permission to do things or their guidance to roam around then we wanted badly to grow up, now that we are adults we miss our teens. but no doubt they were the best days of our life. once you get to know the benefits of salary, the fun of having your own family, a wife to come back home to from work, when you dream about a house and watch this dream come true you will never repent growing up or at least this is what i hope for as an growing up adult. have a good day...!! :)
