Here’s a nice list of 20 guidelines for growing up once you reach 25. For example:

Be on time. The occasional public-transit snafu is forgivable, but consistent lateness is rude, annoying, and self-centered. If we didn’t care when you showed up, we’d have said “any old time”; if we said seven, get there at seven or within fifteen minutes. Do not ditz that you “lost track of time” as though time somehow slipped its leash and ran into traffic. It shows a basic lack of respect for others; flakiness is not cute anymore, primarily because it never was.

I turn 25 this month and I think I do pretty good on this list except for the thank you note part which I have trouble with sometimes. Let me know if I’m messing something up.
