I'm actually 21 and a senior in college, but you'd never guess it just from looking at me. Because of my baby face and small figure, I look like I'm about 15. Maybe 17 at the most. People are always in disbelief when I tell them my actual age. Even though it's annoying now that I look so young, I know I'll definitely come to appreciate it one day. But for now, these are some things that happen when you look younger than you actually are.

1. You Get Carded

This one is probably the most obvious. I just turned 21 and get obviously get carded if I order a drink. But even buying a lottery ticket I still get carded.

2. You Get Asked Where You Go to High School

People ask me all the time and then feel embarrassed when I tell them I'm a senior in college. It's pretty funny actually.

3. You Get Asked if You're Nervous About Going to College

Going along with the previous question, some people just assume I'm in high school (or just graduated high school) and are curious if I'm nervous about the big transition to college. LOL.

4. People Don't Take You Seriously

Thanks to my baby face, I know a lot of people don't take me seriously. This one can be frustrating sometimes, but you can earn people's trust no matter your age.

5. Sometimes You Can Win Those Age Guessing Games at the Fair

I actually haven't tried this one myself, but next time the fair comes to town I'm definitely going to try! I'm sure the person would guess 17 or 18 and then I could get a prize. A big plus to looking like a young child.

6. One Day You'll be Thankful for It

I know one day when I'm 40 and still getting carded, I'll seriously appreciate looking so young! Even though it's something to laugh about now, one day I'll be extremely thankful for looking younger than I really am.
