5. I will be 39 on the 20th
I forget what I was doing when I was 25 :)

What is the test for? Don't sweat it too much. Last year I earned 5 certifications in the tech field, took 7 tests and it was not easy (scsa/scna/ccna/a+/server+). Early next year taking my cissp, oracle (5 tests), java, linux, and probably rhce. Tests can make life stressful, but try to relax - prep a lot, have some rum, and try to make it a little fun.

The most stressful for me was my sun solaris tests, but I passed them in 10 minutes. The hardest was my ccna, the easiest was A+ - I passed both tests in 10 minutes total back to back (and it was more stressful because the company was paying me for the tests and passing the sun certs was worth an extra 1k on my check).

After first few tests I learned to relax and study better and test taking was actually kind of nice. A cup of joe, me and the computer, ear plugs, and I felt confident.

Either way - good luck and I hope you report back and let us know how you did!

11. happy birthday
Oh man, 25... I haven't been 25 since I turned 26... LOL wait til you hit 30 if you think 25 is bad... Try to look at it the way I do: Birthdays are merely the anniversary that I was beamed to this rock.
Ok maybe not a good Idea...We don't need anyone thinking like me, You would have to be in my head to do that and to be honest, my brain is a scary place without the map and the right protective Equipment.

13. Go out, rent a car, and have some fun
25 is like the last year before 65 (or 55 in some cases) when you get new things to do (16: drive, 18: smoke, vote, etc. 21: drink, watch/star in porno)
