8 Indications Of Why You May Have Been Born in the Wrong Generation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

Being called an old soul is nothing out of the ordinary for us Collegiettes who are more in touch with older generations than our own. After a while, you finally come to terms with the fact that you may have been born in the wrong generation–and that’s totally okay because who wouldn’t want to live life like it’s the 1970’s?! Check out these reasons why you may not be a 90’s baby at heart.

1. Old music is your jam

You appreciate music from other decades’ way more than this one–and your playlist is proof of that.

2. Your clothes might not match this decade

Wearing your mother’s old clothes from high school is pretty normal for you.

3. The TV shows…’nuff said.

Your favorite TV shows are unheard of by your friends.

4. The Lingo

Sometimes you find yourself using words that haven’t been used in 20 years.

5. The Romance

Your version of romance is very similar to a 1960’s black and white film.

6. Your WCW’s are now senior citizens

The ladies who you admire are probably sitting on their porches in rocking chairs right now.

7. You tend to enjoy the older crowd

The Golden Girls are your BFF goals.

8. Your definition of fun is totally different than most people your age

A night of wine and Lifetime movies would satisfy you way more than a night of clubbing

So for all you Collegiettes that just don’t know how you got here, you’re not alone!

Winthrop University is a small, liberal arts college in Rock Hill, SC.Â
