1. People try to give you directions when you’re walking alone.

Yes, I'm okay. No, I'm not lost, and I probably know this campus better than you do. Thanks.

2. Freshmen ask you “Are you a freshman too?”

.

No, I am not, but I will certainly play along until you figure out that I know too much about this place to be a freshman.

3. The administrative staff are really nice and sympathetic to you.

I've done this for six semesters already, but I'll gladly shed a few crocodile tears if you'll be nice to me.

4. People are shocked when you tell them you’re a senior in college.

Yes, a college senior. Yes, please take your time processing this information. I know it's hard.

5. Their reactions both flatter and annoy you.

I look young for my age. You're surprised. Nothing new here. But thanks!

6. You get funny looks when you go out with your older-looking friends.

Nope, I'm not the younger sibling tagging along. I'm not even the youngest one here!

7. Even your parents still treat you like a freshman.

Yes, mom, I remembered to bring my wallet. Yes, I wore my seat belt. Yes, I will call you when I get there.

8. You look too young to be wearing the cap and gown.

I mean, if you're under five feet tall, the gown is going to be a bit big anyway...

9. People don't understand your Senioritis.

Yupp, I'm graduating! Yes, it's been four years already. No, I'm not lying.

10. You become a friendly and approachable mentor for freshmen.

Let's be friends. I've been there. I promise I won't bite. Plus, we won't look strange hanging out together!
