8 Things That Happen When You Look Really Young

Growing up, I have always looked much younger than my age. I didn't think much of it, until I got to college and realized that the people around me look like real adults, and I look far from it. Here are 8 things that happen when you look really young:

1. People ask what grade you're in.

When you say you're a college student they don't believe you.

2. You could never get a fake ID.

People don't even believe your actual age, there's no way you could get away with a fake ID.

3. Your parents still make you sit at the "kids table" at family parties.

4. Looking younger than everyone in your family.

Your 13 year old cousin looks older than you.

5. When you go to see an R rated movie, they ask to see your ID.

How is it possible people don't think you are older than 17?!

6. People genuinely look confused when you pull out your car keys.

7. Buying something and the cashier assumes you're paying with cash, and when you give them your debit card they look shocked.

Or you do pay in cash, and they check to make sure your 20 dollar bill isn't fake.

8. You got the kids menu at restaurants for way longer than you should've.

You either got the kids menu, or your waiter awkwardly looked at you for a solid five minutes before handing you a menu.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
