10 Struggles of Having a Baby Face as a Twenty-Something Year Old

Some people are blessed to have been hit with the puberty truck hard enough to distinguish their appearance as a child from their appearance as an adult. For those with baby faces however, the line is blurred. In fact, the puberty truck didn’t even hit them; it was more of a nudge. As if being in your twenties wasn’t hard enough already, imagine having people tell you that you aren’t simply because you don’t look old enough. Like hello, I’m clearly adulting here, but I’ll take my youthful glow elsewhere thank you very much. All my baby faced girls, you know what I’m talking about. 

1. When you tell people your age and they look at you like… 

2. So you try to compensate by dressing up. 

3. But most of the time you end up looking like a ten year old who’s trying too hard. 

4. And then makeup only makes you appear slightly older.

5. Not even the sharpest contour can turn your chubby cheeks into high cheekbones chiseled by the gods.  

6. How about when you’re out here trying to slay and you get told “awww, you look cute.” 

7. On campus, you blend in with the first years. (which isn’t that bad cause ain’t nobody ready for graduation yet)

8. Then when you tell everyone you’re not a freshman, they are beyond shocked. 

9. So having an identity crisis is nothing new to you. 

10. Constantly hearing “you’ll be thankful for this when you get older.” Ok true, but..
