Mature Student

Dear blog readers,

I have something very scary and disturbing to tell you...

I'm a mature student!

I never thought I would see the day that I would be labelled as a mature student. I'm only 21 and I'm already on the downward spiral on getting old. I don't believe that simply because I am doing a postgraduate course I should be labelled as a "mature" student. And we all know that they call them mature students because they don't want to say old. Let's all be frank with one another, from one mature student to another, I can tell you that they only say it so they don't offend old people. I'm not old.

I don't want to be old or a mature student. I want to go back to being a fresher, young and free. Do silly things and frankly not give a damn!

This is what I used to be...

This is me now...

Oh, I know this is such a lame problem to be having when compared to some of the things people are going through but I'm having a mini-meltdown over the fact that I am now way older than my age. I go to bed ridiculously early, I avoid eating things that are bad for me and I am already thinking about being adult-like and getting a proper job that I will stick at for the next 30 years... Dear Lord, please help me before there is no going back.

I'm a mature student! :(

Good day everyone. I'll just be over in the corner inspecting my grey hair and granny cardigans...

Depressed, mature (old) Nicole...
