You're probably significantly older, and have a ton of life experience and achievement under your belt.

He's probably early-20s, fresh out of school, and that's still a huge part of his life experience.



I'm 30.

Though remember that most of these conversations happened when I was actually in college (a few even before then, while applying to schools), and I just have a really long memory.

(The conversation with the friend that sparked this musing was last night, but I've been friends with her since she was 14, and so our conversation topics include anything that was fair game back then, which is basically everything.)


"conversations happened when I was actually in college"

Oh then...that makes sense. From the sounds of it I thought you were talking about say...a month ago over lunch in the cafeteria.

"Mmm...this Bruschetta is pretty good"

"Could use more diced tomatoes. BTW, I got 1573 on my SATs, you?"

"oh...1590, ain't that weird?"

"pass the pepper please?"
