Misao Okawa just became the world’s oldest person, punching in her time card on Earth at 117 years. This woman is one hundred and seventeen years old and I’m sitting over here clocking in at twenty-six and I’m already exhausted.
Okawa was born in Osaka, Japan on March 3rd, 1898. In 2013, Guinness World Record recognized her as the world’s oldest person and homegirl hasn’t given up that title yet. The AP reports that, when asked for the secret behind her long life, Okawa said: “I wonder about that too.” She also said that 117 years “seemed rather short.”
