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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
