    He’s 21 lmao. Does everyone over 30 confuse college kids as minors? I’m 20 and people older than me usually think I’m a high schooler, but people my age can tell I’m not

      You know how, back when you were in high school, you’d occasionally see middle schoolers and think “We weren’t that small, were we?”

      That basically keeps going your whole life, but the categories get more stretched out the older you get. 30 and 40 year olds start complaining, “Oooh, I’m so old, everything hurts!” and it’s like, dude, you’re barely half way there.

      Tbf he does have a particularly youthful face. I’m a bit surprised he’s that old, I would have guessed like 19. So not a minor but not over 20 either.

        I feel like there isn’t a huge difference between how a 19 and 21 yo look, it’s only 2 years

          Yeah I guess? I feel like we’re still in the “a lot happening in a short span” phase of development at 19-21 though. But idk I’m not great at age assessments.
