The Fear of Getting Old

With my 22nd birthday coming up, I have started thinking about how old I don't feel. Immature, impatient, and a procrastinator, I am hardly a grown up, and yet, my foot and back aches. My right knee pops. I'm forgetful. Slightly deaf. And one pesky gray hair keeps coming back among all my black tresses.

I started searching for information on aging and found this documentary. It was really interesting and has opened my eyes to the possibility that, if my genes play a major role, I will to be at least 90 years old.
