10 Things College Girls Who STILL Look 12 Hate Hearing

Alex Engel

I get awkward questions, rude remarks, and I'm sure my boyfriend gets dirty looks when he holds my hand in public. I mean, I do look half my age after all. And as great as ordering off the children's menu and getting the "under 12" price is, all your questions about how young I look gets really get old. What questions am I talking about?

Oh, I'll tell you.

1. "What grade are you in?"

Giphy

Technically, the 16th grade. I'm a fourth year in college.

2. "Oh wow, I thought you were in high school!"

Giphy

Yeah. I get that a lot. No, I go to a university.

3. "You don't understand. When you're my age, you'll get it."

Giphy

You're, what, two years older than me? Stop.

4. "What would you like to drink? We have Pepsi products, raspberry lemonade, tea..."

Giphy

Yeah, I'll have a black cherry moijto, thanks.

5. "Is this your real ID?"

Giphy

Yes. Don't you dare clip that. I'll show you pictures from my 21st birthday if I have to. Or call my mom so she can tell you I'm really 21.

6. "How's your freshman year?"

Giphy

Didn't we cover this? I'm not a freshman, in high school or college. I'm a fourth year. In college.

7. A person younger than me saying "I'm old."

Giphy

You're literally younger than me. Please save me the pity party.

8. "Is your mom here? I need to talk to an adult."

Giphy

No. I don't even live with my parents anymore. I am an adult. Take me seriously.

9. When somebody younger than you hits on you.

Giphy

Just kill me now.

10. "One day you'll be thankful that you look young."

Giphy

Yeah, you're right. I'm so thankful that I won't look like you when I'm your age. And I also know I will never ask a girl who looks younger any of these bogus questions you just hit me with. Thanks.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
