I’m literally three thousand years old. I might be 21, living the uni dream and living by myself in my little rented flat, but I may as well be chilling out in a comfy armchair with a crossword for the rest of my life. I’m kidding. I hate crosswords.
I’m an “old soul”, apparently. A little browse through the inspirational life quotes on Pinterest tells me a lot of very mystical wonderful stuff; maybe I’ve been reincarnated. Maybe I’m a wise old orang-utan. Who knows?
Here are some (slightly more relatable) things you’ll know if you’re an old soul like me.
- “Night time” starts at 5pm. I am 100% in my pyjamas at this point, there’s a pineapple bun on top of my head and I’m probably under a blanket. I don’t care if I can hear kids playing in the street outside. IT’S NIGHT TIME.
- I will never buy a Costa hot chocolate. Or any sort of Starbucks concoction. I make my own hot beverages at my handy drinks station. I have a little tray next to the kettle with various flavoured syrups and chocolate dusters. I do a little mini cringe when I see people parading their Costa cups around. Caramel syrup is only £2 in Morrisons, people!
- The idea of student accommodation actually makes me feel sick. Like, really sick. “Don’t you want to live with your friends?” NO. THEY’RE DISGUSTING.
- Oh my goodness I just found a new documentary about kidnappers on YouTube, and this one doesn’t even have subtitles! Get innnn.
- My presentations at uni are top notch, and I actively enjoy doing them. Talking about my online presence? Done. Bam. My online presence is fantastic, thank you very much, and so is my presentation.
- When people ask how to spell a word, they automatically look at me. You bet I tell them how to spell that word. You bet I do.
- People 6 months younger than me are immediately labelled as “twelve”. They just are.
- I secretly like being poorly because it means I don’t have to interact with people my own age. My mum might come round and make me some soup, and that’s fine with me.
- Nights out are actually like being in hell. People? Nope. Noise? Nope. Alcohol? Nope. I’ve been on a grand total of three nights out in my life and they’ve all been vile.
- Buying groceries is fun. Like, real fun. I saved 63p on some Asda’s own brand ready salted crisps. Hallelujah!
Are you an old soul? Or am I just a massive introvert? Who knows.
I think we were separated at birth! Right down to burning winter candles in summer from one of your previous posts!
I’d probably call myself a massive introvert rather than an old soul though, sadly I’m always glued to technology in one form or another! Although it saved a lot of small talk when I was living in halls – I just want to cook my dinner in peace!
