Being An Old Soul, As Told By Ellie Kemper

Being an old soul can be pretty tough when you're in college. Here are 11 experiences related to being an old soul, as told by Ellie Kemper.

1. When you have no idea how to use the young, hip lingo all the people your age are using.

2. When you make references to old TV shows and movies that nobody else your age knows about.

3. When you make an effort to go out with people, but have no idea how to act because you were always too mature for things like "bar hopping" and "turning up."

4. When you're so out of touch with people your age and their concept of fun, that this is your idea of going wild and crazy during a night out with friends.

5. When you come home from a party feeling like a loser because relating to people your age is so hard.

6. When you aren't up on the latest youth fashion trends.

7. When you just want to tell your peers to be quiet with all their childish nonsense.

8. When you use your sophisticated sense of humor to think of the best comebacks for all the haters out there.


9. When you try to convince people that you are cool and that you don't live like an old lady.

10. When another young person makes a joke that flies right over your head.

11. When you make the best decision of your life: to forget about what other people think and just be you.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
