I was at the mall the other day with my mom, grandma, aunt, and cousins. Went to go try on clothes and my mom asked the assistant how old she thought I was. Lady guessed 14. I am 22 years old

I don't think that's weird at all!! I know of a ton of late 20s people at my university and share classes with quite a few 40+ students all in all I think 24 is a very normal age to still be doing undergrad and nothing to be ashamed of

Tbh 24 and 19 don’t look that different externally. Nobody’s thinking abt it but you I promise.

My bf was 24 when he finished school. He couldn’t do online school with covid and also struggled with college. Hopped around to I believe 4 different schools trying to find one that fit him. 24 really isn’t that old. Most people graduating are like 22/23. I went to class with people 30-40 years old and it was never an issue. I don’t see why it would be.

Tbh I did my associates and finished at twenty was supposed to move after but stuff happened so now I’m back doing my third year at 25. There’s no age limit to college so don’t worry about it

Fair enough haha. It also probably doesn’t help that I don’t wear makeup and dress for comfort rather than style

When I was in undergrad, there was a 30 year old in our program. Granted, the dude acted like a 20 year old… still, being 24 in undergrad isn’t weird at all.
