Hey there! I’m in my first semester of veterinary school. I’ve recently started trying to hang out with classmates outside of studying, and I’ve made some friends and I’m having a great time. I basically just wanted outside opinions because I’ve been feeling weird recently about it. I’m 39 years old and most all of my friends in school are around 22-25. I don’t want to seem creepy or weird or anything you know? One of the girls I connect with the most is 22, and I’m feeling weird about telling her I’m almost 40. I don’t want anyone to think I’m being a creep lol. For what it’s worth, I’m single, no kids, and look and act like I’m 28 (or so I’ve been told lol).

Is this weird? Am I being a creepy person? Or am I overthinking it? I don’t know anyone else in town and it’s hard to not bond with the people in my class.
