Looking Young

Finally! I've got harry07.blogspot.com!

I’m a first year college student in a known university here in Pampanga, but I don’t look like one. I always thought that I looked older for my age… I was wrong after all this time: it was the other way around. Nobody told me that I look too young until I stepped into college.

Some students and professors that I met in the university reckon that I don’t look like a seventeen years old (or shall I say young?) lad. There are times that I get agitated with this. Now, It’s not new to me if I would hear somebody ask me “Sigurado ka bang college student ka na?¹” or tell me “Akala ko high school student ka pa lang.²”

Flattered? Sometimes. Haha. But know what, I’m half-fortunate and half-unfortunate about this.
