10 Age-Old Signs You're An Old Soul Trapped In A College Kid's Body

Do you feel like your soul is much older than the body it lives in? If so, you may just be an old soul. Here are 10 signs that suggest you're an old soul.

1. You find it hard to relate to people your age

A lot of the time, you may find it hard to relate to your peers who are the same age as you. Whether it be a difference in what kind of movies or music you like, or even what kind views you have on the world, a lot of the time you find yourself having a hard time finding similarities with those around you.

2. You don't mind being alone

You find a strong sense of peace and independence when you are alone and it doesn't really bother you to have time to yourself.

3. You are extremely empathetic

You feel a strong sense of empathy for others and can feel their pain deeply. It's very easy to walk in their shoes.

4. You think... A LOT!

Us old souls have a habit of over-analyzing every little thing and marinating in our thoughts. Sometimes it's good to have such profound thoughts but other times it's a bit overwhelming.

5. You love learning

As an old soul, you have an extremely open mind and crave to learn about everything you didn't know beforehand.

6. You find comfort in a certain time period

Whether it be a decade or an era, there's a certain time period that pulls you in and makes you feel like you are at home. Even though you have not lived through it, you somehow miss it and wish you can go back.

7. You easily get along with those older than you

Since at times it's hard to fit in with peers your age, it's so much easier to get along with those with more life experience than you.

Personally, I enjoy talking with people who are older than me. I find it much easier to relate to them.

8. You are spiritual

Old souls focus a lot on the soul and on the energy one emits. Material things don't hold importance to old souls. Intangible things, such as kindness and forgiveness, mean more than anything.

9. You are sensitive

Old souls tend to absorb the world around them and take everything close to heart. Something as simple as watching the news can impact them in a negative way.

10. You are creative

With all your deep thoughts, you find it very easy to express yourself through various forms of art. A lot of old souls find an escape through a certain form of art.

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.
