Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong decade. I mean I'm only 23 and I feel like sometimes I act or even have responsibilities of a 30 something year old.
Why did this feeling come up all of a sudden? Well it's a lot of things. For example, sitting in a meeting as an alumna and just watching others moving forward with an organization is just weird. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I'm needed as a sounding board, but it's just weird. Also, escorting a student to the clinic because of a small chemical burn makes me feel like a mom. I mean, I am only a few years older than the student!
I don't know. Maybe it's also because people call me miss before my name, especially the graduate students in the office call me Miss Jillian and a lot of them are older than me. It's just weird.
I guess this is just a feeling that I will have to live with and forget trying to fight it. It's not going to change any time soon or as I get older. Just a thought.

I was always called "Tasha and Caleb's MOM" because I was always driving them places and doing things with them becuase mom and dad had to work....i took care of them. Even after i graduated HS and started working i was 18 and people thought i was 24.....i know the feeling and it was like, I DONT WANT TO BE THAT OLD!!! Even now as I live the last of year 28, I dont want to get older. But nice thing is people dont think I am 28, married with a 4 year old LOL...now, either that is true or they are being too nice, but i will take what i can get becuase 29 is soon approaching! lol SCARY!!!
