24

So I just turned 24. In my mind, 24 is a significant number for several reasons.....

1.) 24 is 1 year before 25, which is the quarter-century (and hump-year of the 20s--meaning 25 is the middle year, and therefore after 25, the downhill of the 20s begin)
2.) 24 is the highest number on the military clock: 2400 (or 0000 if you want to be technical)
3.) 24 is mentioned over and over again in that song by Switchfoot...though I'm not completely sure why.
4.) There are 24 hours in a day (see #2)
5.) 24 is an even number, divided by 2 is 12, which is the number of deciples, days of Christmas etc.
6.) 24 just sounds so much older than 23.
7.) 24 is a cool tv show that I've never actually seen, but heard good things about.
8.) Dr. Reid was 24 in the first season of Criminal Minds.
9.) 24 is the number of books in the Tanakh
10.) There are 24 carats in 100% gold (the purest form of gold)
11.) The letter X is the 24th letter in the alphabet. X is also a letter representing Christ.
12.) 1x2x3x4=24

So I could only think of 12 reasons why the number 24 is significant. This is perfictly fine because 12 is half of 24.
