It wasn’t so long since I was a young person too! And you never forget what it’s like- it’s not like I’m a whole different person now- I had the same kinds of experiences you’re having now, studying, choosing subjects to carry on studying, making friends, working out what I wanted to be when I was older.
I know you think we’re all ancient, but I promise you one day you’ll realise that students at schools would think you’re ancient too – and then you’ll be like “how the hell did that happen! I swear I’m still young!”
I’m definitely still young at heart (even if my 27th birthday is coming up next week!) and I reckon that slight zany-ness and enthusiasm connects with young people. I definitely hear “oh grow up” far too many times a day!! :O
Although my teenager years ended quite a few years ago, I know how it is to be young. I am older now and in some aspects more experienced, but I had the same thoughts and questions you have now, plus I still have a lot to learn! And as we would say in German “Man ist nur so alt wie man sich fuehlt!” (you’re just as old as you feel!) 🙂
