Call me Benjamin Button.

(Scene: In the office where my interview was on Wednesday, riding the elevator.)

Woman in elevator: Don’t worry, you get used to the elevator stuttering.
Me: Oh.  loosens death grip on railing  Thanks.
Woman: Interview today?
Me: Yes!  How did you know?
Woman: The nice suit!  Are you a 1L or a 2L?
Me: Oh… no, I graduated, but thanks!
Woman: Oh!  You look so young, I just assumed!

(Scene: Two hours later, and I drive past my undergrad.  I realize that my old license plate cover is gone and decide to stop in the bookstore and get one that says my college on it, because I love my college.)

Bookstore girl: Is this all?
Me: Yes.
Bookstore girl: Is there a career fair today?
Me: Huh?
Bookstore girl: A career fair.  I just assumed because you’re in a suit.  Oh, you probably have an internship, right?
Me: realizing that she thinks I’m a college student Yeah, I have an internship.

(Scene: The next day, and I stop in Subway for lunch.)

Cashier: points to my hoodie Sports?
Me: I’m sorry?
Cashier: Do you play sports at [my town] High School?
Me: Like, currently?!
Cashier: Yes!  Basketball?  No, too short!  Cross country?
Me: I graduated, but thank you.
Cashier: Oh, congratulations!  Where are you headed for college?

Today I’m banking on getting pulled back to middle school by a truant officer.

  3. flyingoffthehandle said: You are a better person than me. I get that a lot too (the high school is the one that really hurts me), especially still being in school so I always make sure to emphasize that I’m a GRAD student.

  5. lifebyliz said: You should go buy a pencil box from staples and ask them to page your mommy. If that works you have the Button disease.
