18 year olds. 18 year olds fucking EVERYWHERE.

If it'll make you feel better, I'm almost 25 and still in college.

auntie_eggma · 7 months

Yup. I'm 31, and I mostly want to smack my classmates upside the head and yell STFU. This is not helped by the fact that I spent the last few years teaching before I went back to school. Students are assholes.

Alabama_Man · 7 months

Ha! Try being 30 and having 18y/o girls who look 16 try to chat you up because they have daddy issues or think that you must be mature, level-headed and sophisticated.

I've never gone to college, but I do like to rape as many dogs as I can.

qupa1210 · 7 months

Pshaw. I went back to college at the age of 40. After 10 years as a hand-tossed pizza maker, and then 12 years as a Property Manager. Now I work in healthcare in a clinical lab diagnosing disease through DNA/RNA sequencing. Hell ... I'm gonna live 80 years, why not do anything!

{EDIT: My first day I arrived early for my math class, and the lone student who arrived before I did inquired if I was the teacher. Can't say I blame him as I kind of look like George Costanza }

Turning 26 this year.Oh god, the drama, the oblivious, the smart asses and the outright annoying. Damned kids. Being in Asia, things are hierarchical. Always get a "yo uncle whats up!" whenever I waltz into campus

ಠ_ಠ

damned kids.

oh tell me about! I was doing the school crossword puzzle and had been asking a guy behind me for help. Then I said, "Well this one is obvious: 'hasta la vista ____' " he had no clue what it was and it turned out he was 18.

borlak · 7 months

I'm 33 and in college. Do you know that we are officially called "non-traditional students"?

What does that even mean? I take it as an insult :(

wingers · 7 months

LMAO try going back at 38

femanonette · 7 months

Don't sweat it.

Don't get me wrong, I can completely understand how it feels, since I feel that way every single day of class. (27yo here)

FishNuggets · 7 months

I was 24 when I went back to college. I finished when I was 26. Power through man!

bloodflart · 7 months

Yeah but there is always that 70 year old woman that has to talk at every opportunity.

jdw817 · 7 months

Amen brother. Try being 32.

redweasel · 7 months

Try it as a 45-year-old sometime.

afxtal · 7 months

Go to night school. You'll feel like a kid again amongst all the 40+s in your class.

BobMaine · 7 months

I was 29 when I went back. Best move I ever made.

danceswithknives · 7 months

And when you go back at 38.....

frelf · 7 months

39 here! I definitely feel like Billy Madison. Everybody calls me sir.

CoPRed · 7 months

Don't worry bro, I went back at 26 as well. It isn't as bad.

The 18 year olds girls admire your "wisdom" it seems.

mjc1027 · 7 months

I feel your pain, I went back to college at the age of 37...there were many adults my age too, but mostly young 'kids'...annoying as fuck.

meatlikeproduct · 7 months

I'm 26 and this is my last semester. Upvotes forever.

masakon · 7 months

I went back to college at 27 years old. These young gals like old wolves :D

[deleted] · 7 months

"Shut up kid, I didn't pay for this class to listen to you mouth off. This isn't high school."

Funny thing is, when I was in high school, I was that kid. Shit changes when you pay for it yourself.

Archz714 · 7 months

Just make sure you know how to spell Rezzudo in cursive!

julian0024 · 7 months

I'm currently pursuing a doublemajor in Engineering.

Due to how my credits worked out, I ended up taking intro to geology with a bunch of 18 y/o (I'm 21).

I spent the entire term whispering to myself "I cannot possibly have been this stupid, please someone tell me I was not that stupid...".

crossdl · 7 months

Yeah, I know the feeling.

I wasn't sure at time whether I was "The Cool Informative Older Student" or "The Aged Mascot Pet"

Still, it gives you a chance to impart your wisdom to the younger crowd. They seemed to appreciate it when I did.

Achalemoipas · 7 months

26 isn't so bad, you're almost in the same age group still.

thewilburbeast · 7 months

o god... i've been fearing this. 24 and ~~want~~ need to go back to school... how do you not just murder them all?

never-ever-happened · 7 months

37 here. I've been in college since I was 18, with one 3 year break and one 1 year break.

RinnRixx · 7 months

i'm going back to school this fall, too - turn 27 in June ... really looking forward to the 'im dating myself here' and 'oh you're too young to get that reference' moments. yippie!

Fat kid on the right is the source of LOL Guy.

ajk511 · 7 months

Fuck yea! I'm 26 and starting class next week. Old people in college ftw.

digitalinfidel · 7 months

The kid in the bottom right corner. Is he the source of lolface?

asephamin · 7 months

Try being 32 and going back.

supaphly42 · 7 months

My senior year (the last one, haha), I was about that age as well. I had to take a 100 level class for some gen ed requirement I had forgotten about. As I looked around one day, I realized that my cat was older than most of the kids in there (she died later that year at 20 years old).

DrFossil23 · 7 months

I'm 26 and just completed my first full time semester at a 4 year university in 7 years. There is a pretty broad age mix of people in my class because, well...uh...I go to a pretty inclusive university. Yay for not standing out on my future resume!

bloorondo · 7 months

I went back and graduated a couple years ago at age 48. I thought I'd be the oldest going through commencement, but the guy right behind me was older by a couple months. (We didn't even use our walkers.)

Mad1ibben · 7 months

I had my first class in a couple years last night (I'm 25), and didn't think it would be so bad. I walked out at the end of class feeling exactly like this

mopecore · 7 months

After seven years in the infantry, I returned to school. I was 29, married, and working full time. It's... odd, to say the least.

zakattak · 7 months

Ummm....dude...you think you could get me some beer?

thebeardsman · 7 months

SIXTY NINE! Bursts out laughing

mindglitch · 7 months

When I was 18 and in college, I figured out the older students had their shit together. I would RUN to get them in a group if group work came up.

rammajamma56 · 7 months

We had a guy In my class today who was in his 30th year of classes and had over 500 credit hours

Buckid · 7 months

The COG convention?! (creepy old guy!)

I've been going full time the last 4 years. I'll be 40 and getting my engineering degree in June.

And omg Yoga pants! Why didnt those become popular in the 90's I'd of stuck w/ my degree.

marieelaine03 · 7 months

I don't know what kind of college you guys go to, but at mine most people are actually quite smart. It could be that I am going to a research college, but I think an adult who has been out of education for a while would feel like the slow one around here. I get good grades and live and breath my major, but I struggle to keep up with all of the wonder kids.

hollowgodric · 7 months

I'm 22. I'm considering only doing online college. I be disappointed to miss the classroom environment, but holy shit, people are SO stupid. I can hardly focus on the lecture because I keep imagining different ways to punch everyone in the face. Are there any non-online 21+ colleges?
