这个暑假一过，2000年出生的00后们就该读高中了，新开学的高一就是00后们的天下了！那么，90后们的现状又是如何呢？恋爱的、分手的、结婚的、生子的、拼事业的……

1. The realization that the next incoming high school freshmen were born in the 2000s, meaning the high school reign of 90s babies is over… and that we’re… old…

90后们意识到下一届高中新生将是00后的天下，高中由90后承包的时代结束了…我们老了…

2. Prior to now, the most ill-fitted individuals that could possibly get married or raise a child were the only ones doing so, but now the people who are getting engaged and pregnant are, y’know, your friends.

在这之前，全是那些最不适合结婚生子的人在做这些，不过如今忙着订婚忙着生子的全是你的朋友。

3. You’re officially in the era of “what you’re going to do.” Your entire life is defined by your future, not by what it is now. It’s the only thing people ask you about, and really the only thing you’re able to focus on.

你正式步入“你要做什么”的时代。你的整个生活状态代表了你的未来状态而非当下的状态，你周围的人也都问你这个问题，并且你也只能关注这个问题。

4. Dating is awkward because you’re either going to get engaged or break up, and more likely than not in a short period of time. Gone are the days of just dating because you like each other. If you’re in school, you either expire by graduation or stick a ring on it.

到了现在才去约会的话，又会显得很尴尬，因为这个年龄段的你要么订婚要么分手，这都不是在短时间内就能做到的事情。只因互相喜欢才约会的日子一去不复返了。如果你还是在校学生，要么毕业分手，要么毕业订婚。

5. You’re around peak weight gain time. You can’t stomach people making fun of “those who got fat after high school” because by this point, it’s basically all of us.

你已经进入“随便吃吃就会长肉”阶段。你不能忍受人们拿“高中毕业后长胖的那些人”取消，基本我们人人中枪。

6. You start saying phrases such as “well, when I was in college,” or, “we didn’t have that when I went to high school!” and you follow them up with: “wow, I sound old” every goddamn time.

你开始把这些话挂在嘴边，如“嗯，我上大学的时候，”或是“我们上高中的时候就不这样！”然后每次该死的紧接着脱口而出：“卧槽，我老了。”

7. You start to befriend your siblings and appreciate everything your parents have done for you.

你开始善待兄弟姐妹，开始感激父母为你所做的一切。

8. Prior to turning 21, you think your life will completely change once you finally do. You’ll go out with your friends, buy yourself wine, it will be heavenly. Post-turning 21, you realize that excitement lasted about a week, and now you actually have to pay for all your drinks, and that from here on out, you’re done with birthday milestones you actually want to celebrate.

满21岁之前，你认为你的生活会彻底改变。你会和你的朋友出去交际，给自己买酒，做这些感觉自己很酷炫狂拽。过了21岁之后，你意识到这种兴奋只能持续一个星期，你真的要为酒水买单了，而且从现在起，你受够了庆祝的每一次生日都具有里程碑意义。

9. The celebrities the world idolizes are your age, if not younger. Kate Upton is 21. Justin Bieber is 20.

风靡全球的新生代偶像都和你一个年级(如果不是更年轻的话)，凯特·厄普顿21岁，贾斯汀·比伯20了。

10. Realizing that up until, y’know, now, someone being 21 was really old (and cool) and you thought by this point, you’d not feel like a kid still, and yet here you are.

直到现在才意识到这一点：21岁真的很老了(而且很酷炫)而且你很自知，你不会再觉得自己跟个小P孩一样，呵呵，恭喜你终于走到了这一步。

11. All your friends are either abroad, going abroad, graduating college or leaving you for another city or marriage or job.

你的朋友要么在国外，要么在准备出国，要么准备毕业要么离开你到了另一个城市，或是结婚或是工作。

12. Nobody takes you seriously. Your parents still don’t totally trust that you can manage on your own, trying to date anybody over 25 is impossible-to-absolutely-disastrous because nobody with their life together wants to be with someone in their early 20s.

没人把你当回事。你父母还不完全相信你能管住自己，尝试与25岁以上的人约会绝对不是个好主意，因为没人想和二十出头的人生活在一起。

13. If and when you do make it into an office environment — for an internship or what not —- the overarching sentiment toward you is “oh my GOD I cannot believe you were born in the 90s!

”如果你进入社会后——无论是实习还是别的什么，大家对你的第一份感叹总是：“噢，神额，我不敢相信你是个90后！”

14. You start seeing how people turned out, in all the sad and awesome ways you predicted in high school. What they became and did, how their stories summed up at the end of the day and how funny it is that the wild party girl became a mother and the studious nerd became a young and successful social media *guru*.

你开始看到90后都在怎么证明自己，以你们高中时代预测的悲哀又令人畏惧的方式。他们成为了什么样的人，他们做了什么事，以及到了最后如何总结自己的故事，还有十分搞笑的：曾经狂野的派对女孩当了母亲，而勤奋刻苦的书呆子变成了一名年轻成功的社交媒体“领袖”。
