Hello~

I remember a few days ago seeing the “teenage nerdfighters” and the “nerdfighters over 21″ threads.
Despite the tiny gap, I fit into neither category. =v=;;

I’m in college, looking to major in advertizing and hoping I don’t end up living in a box.
(Unless, of course, that box is the TARDIS.)

How about you? :3

I am 19 too. I am at university in the UK reading Biochemistry. This is such a cool idea, I saw those groups and thought that it was a real shame that I didn’t fit in either.

Hi, 20, Media and Communications Major here! I don’t know what i’m doing with my life, I remain hopeful that one day i will, though.

I’m kind of enjoying drifting, I like that my future still has some mystery to it…

@Jenn Oh God, I think about wanting to not live in a box all the time, its nice to know people think about this.

I suppose that I fall into this category. I’m 21, turning 22 in March and there isn’t much going on in my life.
I also fear that I will end up living in a box. I suppose this is a very normal college aged fear? I feel like when I graduated HS, something clicked and I was like “OH MY GOD, I’M SUPPOSED TO BE A GROWN UP NOW, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO BE A GROWN UP AHHHH!”
I also worry that if I do end up with a long term steady “adult” job, then it will be one of those soul killing ones.

@dinosaurface You don’t need to grow up that much when you leave uni

I’m 22, having graduated with a Master’s in Chemistry last year, now been working ~4 months as a software developer.

I’m still a kid at heart!
And the best bit is I now have more money, which means MORE TOYS! YAY!

I’m 18 and about to start my second semester of college. I’m a history major, I want to teach high school but the market for history teachers in my area is over-saturated so I may end up going to law school. Basically I’m terrified of ending up in a box I also am very unsure about the school I ended up at, it’s a fantastic school but in the middle of nowhere. I’m looking into options for transferring but am not sure if that’s too extreme a step. Does that make sense?

Well I just turned 24 in December. It’s weird, when you’re younger 24 seems really old but when you finally get here, it really doesn’t feel much different.

Hi ^_^

I’m 21, turning 22 in March. I’m currently in a Con. Ed. (teaching) program, and I’m majoring in English. I hail from Canada, and am told that my goal to teach Deaf elementary students will not have me living in a box I just transferred to a new university this year, which has its pros (better health, better grades) and its cons (went from a 4th year to a 2nd year), but overall I made the right choice ^_^

As much as I know I’m an official adult, I don’t feel like one – at all. I still feel the same as I did when I was 19. But really, I don’t mind so much. It’s weird, yes, but I’d rather just be me, whatever level of maturity that may mean, you know?

I’m also short, so I’ve gotten used to the fact that people will forever think I’m younger than I actually am. Something I figure I’ll appreciate as I get older Shocked the hell out of me the one day I didn’t get ID’d at the liquor store o_o I don’t drink, it was just my contribution for my friend’s birthday party.

Hello! I’m Melanie. 19, and currently major-less in college in Rhode Island. I’m thinking about choosing something that can lead me into the publishing industry, maybe as an editor. So I’ve been thinking about majoring in English, or Business, or double majoring in these (because I figure that if I have a background in each, there will be more opportunities if something as specific as editing isn’t available). And I also love computers, and am thinking about minoring in Computer Science because I think it’d be really fun and interesting! And these days, everyone needs to know at least something about computers.

Heeeey I suppose this thread is more appropriate for me as I’m not longer officially a teenager!!
I’m 18 and studying Biomedical Science in Dublin I had to move about 3 hours away from my home but I don’t mind it too much, get to have loads of fun only in my first year, it’s hard going but I really like it, and glad I did it! No job but going to look for a job in the summer soon…. though I live in a small town, it’s not going to be easy…

@dylansdream I know what you mean, when I came home for Christmas I was *so* not used to the idea that I have to tell my mother when I’m home and where I am! It’s much better living alone or with friends and you can just go out and not having anyone know where you are…it’s quite freeing..

19, almost 20. Still feel like I should be 17, doing vocal music ed at TTU (TN), but even if I’m broke I won’t be living in a box. I plan to do some hardcore primitive wilderness survival training so I can drop off the grid if I feel like it. That way if I get to the point where other people would normally be living in a box, I can just go be a mountain man.

Oh, I realized I didn’t actually give any information about myself in my original post. I’m 19, studying International Affairs at FSU. Thinking about what to minor in or double major with. Maybe a Spanish minor? I hope to study abroad soon, preferably in my school’s program in Buenos Aires. Not sure what I want to do long-term. I’d like to travel and teach English as a second language abroad. Then maybe I’d like to work for an NGO or think tank or something of the sort.

@dinosaurface I know! It was the same for me over winter break. Plus being back in suburbia rather than in a city (even a rather small city like Tally) was annoying. Everything was so far away from me and I couldn’t just decide to walk to Circle K or Publix or whatever.

Hello! I am 20 and like @D.V. I am about to be 21 in March. I am actually graduating college in the fall with a degree in International Studies and German from Texas A&M (getting my ring this semester, whoop. :3) O____________O We’ll see how that works out, but I am going to Germany this summer, so that’s exciting. I’ve thought about doing the JET program or teaching English in Germany, but we’ll see how these things go. Right now, I am just excited that Your Pants is back.

Hey guys! I’m 19 and in at University studying Psychology. I’m currently working on getting my BA majoring in psychology with a minor in counselling and human development. I live in Vancouver, Canada. Currently I spend my time studying/doing school work, working as a sales associate and hanging out with my nerdy boyfriend I also try to read (for pleasure) as much as I can, but that gets difficult during school…too many textbooks.

Jane, in the old Your Pants there was a huge thread all about drinking/favorite games/what you liked to drink. I do believe it’s simply because so many are underage. :3

Hello, I’m Kimberly and I’m turning 20 this week ^ – ^ I live in the SF bay area in California and I’m currently at my local community college, hoping to transfer next semester to a 4 year. I’m majoring in English and hoping to work in a publishing company, maybe as an editor or something along those lines, and also become an author. I love reading and videogames, and I spend entirely too much time online. Especially on tumblr >.>

Hello everyone! I’m Melissa, I just turned 24 and am currently majoring in graphic design. I also have an associate’s in visual arts and a certificate in medical transcription. I’m an art geek. Admittedly, I’m not exactly the best artist in the world, but I have a passion for photography (which I think I’m good at) and art history. My other interests include listening to music, playing video games, old fashion (particularly late 1800′s and early 1900′s fashion), collecting old cameras, and reading. Feel free to send me a message or add me as a friend. I don’t bite. lol.

I actually checked out the nerdfighters over 21 thread and it kind of just went nowhere for me. I’m glad this thread exists!

I’m 18 and going back for my second semester of college in a week or two. I’m a fashion design major, but I kind of want to minor in history. I like movies and am really glad that most of my friends at college are cinema arts and tv majors because now I have friend to go to the movies with. I also like making art, sewing, playing video games, and hanging out on the never ending scroll of tumblr. I also watch anime and put off papers until the last minute.

I could have probably posted in the teen thread, but I don’t really feel comfortable in those threads anymore. kind like how I really don’t talk to my younger friends anymore because I just can’t relate to them anymore.

Hiiii. I’m Katie, 19. Studying Biochemical Engineering at Bath (England) I have an exam today… revision is going well.

“We aren’t really adults. We’re just pretending to be” is some sort of quote I’ve heard before. I don’t even know where it’s from. But yeah, I’m 22 taking 6 years to finish a 4 year degree and I feel like a big loser because of it. I’ve been to 3 colleges and hated the first 2. I’ve just started at #3 and I’m afraid I’m falling into the pattern of hating this school too. Living at home because I have no money, no car, no social ife whatsoever. Working 2 days a week at a lousy job. Maybe the future will be better, but I don’t care about the future. I care about now… and now is aweful. Advice?

@aoifbuscus I’m trying to be patient. I want things to get better but I keep having this sinking feeling that they wont.

yup thats me; 20 and majoring in math at uni.
