1) Early nights
Teenagers NEVER want to go to sleep - fast-forward 20 years and we spend most of the day counting down the hours to bedtime.
2) Getting up early
In a similar vein - long gone are the mornings spent snoozing until after lunchtime. Now we're up around dusk (incidentally around the time our college selves were getting in from a night out).
3) Carrying umbrellas
You'd never be caught dead with an umbrella as a teen. More recently we wouldn't be caught dead without one.
4) Wearing comfy shoes
Teen girls adore outrageously impractical and uncomfortable footwear. These days we're rarely out of flats.
5) Cosy Friday evenings in
Kids in bed; TV on; glass of wine; feet up = bliss.
6) Not caring what others think
While you might have spent much of your teen days worrying about your peers' perception of you, we're happy to state that as grown-ups were far, far less bothered.
7) Complaining about loud music
What?! It is VERY loud.
