I mean, a lot of these aren't negative in the "man, adulthood sucks" sense.
As you get older, your metabolism changes and you do gain weight faster. It takes a little longer to heal from things and little aches and pains linger a bit longer. You probably mature a bit so you're actually doing and paying attention to those chores you ignored when younger. Yeah, it's more chores but your shit is actually good now. College kids do look like high schoolers, mostly because they're practically just out of highschool.
The spatula thing is just objectively true and I can't think of a way to see it as a bad thing.
They can largely be true while it remains true that the majority of people are notably happier as they get older. "As you age your tastes change and you learn how to make what you want happen" just doesn't sound as funny as listing some common changes.
Hard disagree on the annoyed part though. I see a lot more irritated 20 year olds. Usually because they messed up, don't know they messed up, don't know how to handle messing up and no one is interested in dealing with their shit.
