So here's the biggest difference I've noticed between 20 and 30 - there seem to be more wrinkles around my eyes when I smile. Like when you're 20, you have two wrinkles around the eye but when you're 30, you have five. What a difference it makes. I can still pull off a fairly young woman if I wear jeans and a t-shirt and keep my face perfectly neutral. But the minute I smile back and those tale-tell crinkles pop up, it's evident I'm not a college girl anymore.
"Yes ma'am", they say as they pack my groceries.
The store clerk looks at me again as she scans the bottle of wine, gauging my appearance. The freckles throw her off a bit. The minute I smile back at her she doesn't even card me.
Dammit.
