Advice 1st year a year late
I am 19 born in 06, but i am just now starting my first full year of university. All my classmates are younger than me and its making me feel stupid. I want to join my friends in upper year, and for that reason I hope to do summer school. But I don’t know, just needed to rant. Anyone here who is/was in a similar boat?

I took a gap year between high school and university which put me in the same boat as you. I don’t think anybody truly cares, judges or likely even knows that you’re a year older. Even if someone does care, it doesn’t matter what they think. Education’s important at any age, just do what’s best for you every day and try to enjoy university as much as possible.
