Hi vidalevi,

Some good advice I recently read is at nothing that we do is ever as important as we make it seem. You could interpret this in a depressing way, but for me it is comforting. I can almost guarantee you that your younger classmates will barely think twice about your age, if they think about you at all (they are likely filled with their own self-doubts). Whatever you tend to focus on, other people will as well. So if you are in a group discussion and worried about how much older you are than everyone, your group is going to notice something is wrong. Instead, focus on the positive! You got into school, you are wiser and more experienced than most everyone, and it’s simply two years of your life that you probably won’t even remember much of five years from now. Enjoy it!
