24-year-old becomes morally inferior to high schoolers, questions life choices

One of my favorite parts about New York City is the abundance of kids smoking weed in public without even thinking twice about it. Nobody on Earth is cooler than the group of 16 year olds on the sidewalk, rotating perfectly rolled joints during their school’s lunch period, talking shit to each other and listening to Jay-Z on their JBL despite being born in 2011. I could have only dreamed of being as nonchalant when I was high school. We used to walk 3 miles into the woods, smoke a LITTLE bit of weed, IMMEDIATELY apply the Rohto eyedrops and then proceed to STAY there until there was a zero-% chance our parents would smell it on our clothes. These kids will smoke more weed than a Seth Rogan Saturday and then just go back to doing tricks on their Citibikes as if nothing even happened. They’re so cool. They’re SO cool. Do you know how cool you have to be as a sophomore in high school to make a 24 year old man second-guess if HE should be smoking weed on the sidewalk with his pals? Pretty fucking cool.
