You Know You’re Too Old for College When…

1. The noise of your teen classmates annoy you to death.

2. You struggle for breath going up and down the stairs and get so tired going from classroom to classroom. (And your school isn’t really that big.)

3. Everyone addresses you “Ate*,” even the clerks at the registrar’s office and the vendors at the cafeteria.

4. People think you’re the professor when you walk into the room.

5. Only you and the professor know who Debbie Gibson is.

6. High school students greet you “Good morning Ma’am.”

7. You lose all your class cards on the first day of school. (Senior moment.)

8. Only you and the professor do not know what DOTA is.

9. You have headache medicine in your purse.

10. You have a purse.

and finally,

11. You go to school at 7:30 in the morning and wait for 45 minutes inside your empty classroom for your invisible classmates and professor, and you go to the registrar’s office to check if you got the right room where you realize, with that feeling of wanting to kick yourself, that your class will actually start at 7:30 in the evening.

 

But really, all is well.
