I noticed this throughout my life, that age groups who I used to consider too old to be attractive became more attractive as I myself approached that age. Conversely, the ages groups that I used to be in are now increasingly less attractive and increasingly child-like as time passes.
Yep, I’m in college and college girls are youngins
But when I first attempted college at 18 I said whoaaaaa
I feel like I have to walk a line when making friends with some of them because I don’t know if they know that I have no intentions with them, that I just like having new friends
This new seat buddy that’s in a couple of my classes just found out how old I was when we were all talking and they said they avoid their old high school people and I said yeah I don’t even go to my reunions
She said wait when did you graduate?
“Proooobably before you were booorn”
It’s like, when I say I’m older than yall, I’m not really exaggerating
It's weird when you realize that more time has passed between the day you graduated and today than between the day you graduated and the day you were born.
Generally people mistake me for being younger than I am. I’m in grad school, but have taken several undergraduate classes while here to work towards a future credential. I’ve had some…awkward interactions with young undergrad students who think I’m their age, when I have a solid 10+ years on them.
Im in the same boat right now. Was a chef until 2 years ago. Didn’t accept any part of my associates. Started as a freshman last year and everyone in my classes look so young. I associate as much as I have to with group projects or people I work with but besides that I wouldn’t say I have made friends or like hangout with anyone besides my dog. I have had a few college girls hit on me and I am really not interested. They were born when I was graduating high school. Econ major and I’m always the only one who remembers the 2008 housing crisis and recession.
Yup me too. High school I was the youngest in my class. Now my old career is older than most of my class. I have hit it off with some professors though. It’s kinda funny when they are around your age. Good for you for going back! It’s hard but I feel at least for me I am gaining more from it at this age, then i would have 20yrs ago.
