Young people in college what do you think when you see an old person like me in college classes?

While I wasn't your age when I went to college. I was about 30, I found it nerve wrecking being the oldest guy in the course.

@SW-User Once change at a time and you will get there.

@SW-User Understood, and all fine.... I'm smart enough with a moody disposition, with a healthy upbringing, I'll get there somehow. :)
SW-User
@SW-User You got a good foundation for life.

"the young have much time but litle wisdom. the elderly have little time but much wisdom. the young who ignore this wisdom when it is offered are foolish."

@SW-User i wholeheartedly agree. i am younger than you but that means you have much more life experience than me. anybody older sharing that experience with me, i cherish very much and chances are if i ignored them id find out later they were right all along anyway. thx :)

@NeloAngelo I'm pretty aware you have things to teach me too. :) Thanks. Likely when I was your age, if I wrote/or quoted something like you did, I would have run scared if someone older replied. Yes, the internet existed when I was your age. That was just me then, though. I was shy. I'm not that old now, but one thing I like to observe is slight changes in thought/attitude, and if anything you display what I couldn't have at between 18-21. So you're right too :)

When I was in college at 18, there were several guys in their 40s in my class. They were fun!
SW-User
@SW-User That is awesome. The older people can be fun.

It throws me off a bit at first, but they're usually some of the better students and when I think about it, it's usually because they're trying to improve their life so I'm happy they took the initiative despite not being the traditional student
SW-User
@JRVanguard That is a good trade.

@SW-User Thank you, I'm feeling confident in my life for the first time in a while
SW-User
@JRVanguard College will give that to a person when they work hard.

[c=#BF0080]I don't consider you old and I am happy for them. It's never too late to pursue a degree. :) [/c]
SW-User
@SW-User Thank you. I feel like a 25 year old even thought I am age 53. A degree is always nice to get. It is fun to achieve it.
SW-User
They have enough money and time, probably from working to this point, to go and do what they want, like college
SW-User
@SW-User We do. Not the time but the money. I will most likely take most of my classes online.

i wonder how smart they are
SW-User
@LovelyGorilla Some us has years of work experience to prove we are smart.
LovelyGorilla · 22-25, F
@SW-User no like, i was wondering if theyre smarter than the younger students since theyre older
but ig age has nothing to do with it mos of the time
