Today, I was walking around my college campus when someone asked me if I'd gotten separated from my tour group. He didn't believe me when I said I was a student here. This happens all the time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I came across the topic of school while chatting. He asked me what high school I went to and where I moved from. I have lived here my whole life, he was my crush for four years, and was in my classes throughout those years. He doesn't believe me. FML
Today, my classmates refuse to believe I have a girlfriend, all because I said she goes to a different school. She actually does, but apparently too many fakers have used that as an excuse for it to have any credibility. FML
Today, I was walking around with a friend, who I assumed was beside me, but it turned out she'd left my side minutes ago and hadn’t heard my rambling that some random person had. FML
Today, I was walking around my new school trying to figure out where to go. Then I realized I was talking to myself. Out loud. FML
Today, I was walking around school alone and felt someone tap my back. I laughed and turned around to find no one was there. I felt confused when I felt the tapping again, which is when I chose to yell at the nearest person, "What?!" I later found out it was a bottle in my backpack tapping me. FML
Today, I went to pick up my little brother from his friend's house. When I got there, he ran off screaming that he didn't know me. His friend's parents believed him. FML
Today, a classmate at college accused me of stalking her. All because I walked past her house. I was walking to the supermarket. FML
Today, I moved into my university dorm a week before classes start. Everyone kept giving me weird looks as they watched me move my stuff in. Finally, one of my dorm mates asked me if I knew that school had actually started last week. I didn't. FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML
Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend at the mall at Victoria's Secret. We got separated, after which I saw 3 of my students. I teach middle school. FML

Lol maybe you should just play along and see how far you can get those people to go out of their way to help you "find your group "

It sucks now but some woman would love to look younger. Maybe you'll appreciate it later in life :)

This makes me irritated because what's it to that person whether your a student or not. People of different ages, looks, nationalities go to school all the time. I would be peeved. I'm annoyed for you.

maybe he just wanted to make sure some kid didn't get separated from their tour group. And besides, its pretty damn important to know whether or not some random person, young or old is walking around your school. ever heard of stranger danger?

attach your student badge to your backpack or purse but still looking young is a great asset

I look way younger than my actual age (22) I'm 3 months off finishing my nursing course and I still have patients ask am I sure I'm old enough to be taking their blood pressure etc. I also get asked for my ID everytime I go to buy alcohol , sometimes even to get into an M15+ movie :/ it sucks but I just think when I'm 35/45 I'm gonna look a lot better than most others my age
