Hey normie, last time I asked you a few questions about college and you told me that you did your first year at 21 years old. I'll be 21 really just after the start of college, just to know, when I'll re-start college should I lie to people about my age or make up excuses like health problems?
My age is the only thing that still borrows me, the worst thing would be to let people know that I'm a failure, I don't want to be that kid that everyone avoids because of this past, I'm too used to that role.

Yeah, I know that insecurity very well, but truth is it's only shameful if you're ashamed of it. I didn't go around flaunting my age, but I never lied about it if I was asked about it - I just told them the facts as they were, told them why I was already 21 when I went to uni, didn't act like it was anything too weird and it was all good. I honestly understand why you're worried about it, but at the end of the day it's uni - if you're friendly and you're fun, nothing else matters. I think you're overestimating the pickiness of people in uni, cause what they really are are strangers in a new place where they don't know anyone but they want to make friends with literally anyone and just go out and have a good time, so they're really not going to care about something like that.
Don't be shy guys, come post whatever's on your mind here(:

Just say you needed to work fulltime for a while to support your family or some shit.

I mean, I just said that I didn't enjoy the course and didn't enjoy the uni, so I did various jobs for a few years before going back to uni, and with people I get to know better if the topic comes up again I tell them that I actually got depressed and ended up getting kicked out, and that's worked well for me.
