Younger people definitely laugh (even lightheartedly!) at the things older people tend to do, like napping, playing bingo, or eating dinner early. But recently, the BuzzFeed Community wrote in to share the "old person" habits that actually make life way better - and it got such a great response that even more people shared habits of their own! So, from young and old alike, here are some "old person" habits that you might consider adopting for yourself:

Earlier this year, I could typically be found in my college apartment in Syracuse, New York. The space may not have been ideal, with its cracking plaster and creaking staircase, but when the lease came to an end, my roommate and I weren't ready to say goodbye. Our apartment had been the home of weekly wine nights, tarot readings, and movie screenings.

Cycling has been the best hobby I've chosen - it gets me out of the house, keeps me healthy, and provides a therapeutic outlet.

Our phones are full of stimulating images, sounds, news and entertainment, all packaged in apps...designed so we'll scroll until the world ends or our batteries die.

Bird-watching does sometimes involve just that—watching birds—but for the truly birdpilled, it's about tuning in to a new layer of reality around you and decoding it.

A pickleball set featuring two paddles, four balls, and a bag is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to pick up this fun and growing sport.

Playing board games offers a fun way to interact socially, reduces stress, and provides a mentally stimulating outlet without the seriousness of competition or outcomes.
