It's not THAT bad. It's not even bad at all.

At first, I thought that having classmates that were out of my age group would hinder me socially.

Quite the contrary. I love it.



A huge part of my personality lies on the fact that I like to listen to what people say, or I let people take over a conversation because I'd rather learn about them rather tahn the other way around.



People who are older than I am have more wisdom and knowledge, and it is so exciting to hear when they ask any kind of question because not only it broadens their seemingly wide knowledge of the topic, it broadens mine as well. Because of this kind of education, I'm actually learning from my peers as well as from my professors, which is a double whammy.



Another good part of having classmates that are over 21, or have gone through the industry is that they have a lot of stories to tell. I'm not going to lie: I sat with five people who are in the category I just mentioned, and I just listened the whole time (while taking pictures of food when necessary) about their life stories, pranks, etcetera.



In the end, people are just people and relationships can form at anytime and anywhere.



Welcome to college.
