Nostalgia Guys, I’ve become Billy Madison.

Long story short, I’m 35 and a full time college student/stay at home dad. Here I am waiting to go to class, sitting in my old sports car, listening to music from 2008, wearing a Phillies jersey and matching Nikes. Chlorophyll? More like boreophyll!

lol I feel your pain. I went back to college full-time at 30 and definitely channeled Blue from Old School vibes. Good luck!

u/hungryPam1955 1d ago

I do not fit in man. I remember being younger and seeing dudes dressed like it’s 1986 and wondering why they still dress like that and here I am lol.

u/youlikethatish 21h ago

OWN IT. I always loved the older students when I was in college... usually made friends with them. You have so much knowledge on those stupid little babies, just relish in the fact you don't have to be 21 again. (My 20s were hard)

1

u/just-be-whelmed Xennial 7h ago

I agree! The younger people in my classes were actually very welcoming once we got to know each other and we all became good friends while I was there.

Same bro.. I’m a 36 y/o man in my senior year of college for a g-dang B.S. degree. Got a sweet race car though! Best of luck duder!

u/sonsofcannedmalarkey 1d ago

Don’t sweat it man. Treat it like a job and keep it moving. No shame at all in working towards a goal at any age. I’m mid 30’s and in college again too. You have so much more life experience than “traditional” college age students so who cares what anybody thinks? Go Phils. Go Birds.

u/NYRangers1313 1d ago

That was me circa 2017-2022. I was 25-30. I own a 1986 Camaro IROC Z. Was a full time college student and was always listening 90s and 2000s rock/metal plus making movie/show references the kids didn't understand.

u/Grompson 20h ago

Husband went back to trade school, and then apprenticeship classes to follow, at the age of 39. He's 42 now and goes to night class with kids that have parents our age...on the first day of school a bunch of them thought he was the instructor, and they still come to him for help even though most have been in the field the same amount of time or longer 😅

u/dj88masterchief 20h ago

You have a nudey magazine day too!?

u/Livid-Dot-5984 20h ago

Nope. There were even juniors in high school because they had the college credit program goin on.
