Signs You're An Old Soul Trapped In A Young Person's Body

Okay, maybe I'm a middle aged soul.

You have a hard time deciphering popular slang.

I still have no idea how to respond when people ask me, "what's good?" Pizza? Freedom? Ye Old English?


On the other hand, other people have trouble understanding you.

On my first day at Virginia Tech, my friend Tyler told me that he had trouble understanding my weird antiquated phrases. Sigh. I guess I'll stick to communicating via telegraph.


You identify more with Betty White than you do Kim Kardashian.

I can barely name the Kardashians as sad as that is. I will leave that to the professionals. Meanwhile, Betty and I will be catching up.

(While I'm on the subject, Kardashian family: ENOUGH WITH THE "K" NAMES)


You have an intense inner struggle every time you find yourself liking music made in this generation.

NO ALUNAGEORGE I DON'T KNOW I LIKE IT!

...well, ok, maybe just a little.


Your friends never get your references.

I said something about Chuck from Gossip Girl being a modern-day Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice (a position I maintain to this day) and all I got back were crickets. Elizabeth Bennet would be aghast.

Here I was thinking it was a classic.


You try and use vintage filters and props in pictures...

Just on the off chance someone would actually believe it was an old photo. Let's get real, it was taken on an iPhone. Somehow grainy now is considered artsy, though so we can keep pretending.


You love to talk about how you should have been born in the '20s...

"As long as you can avoid the Great Depression, World War II, a complete lack of civil rights, and the Polio Epidemics of the 1950s, you should be good to go!"

It's about the asthetic.


You can't shake the insatiable urge to shoo neighborhood kids off your lawn.

Okay, this one might just be me and the kitty.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
