1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for getting a twenty six

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: year old woman kicked out of our twenty five year

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: old and underwomen's support group?

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Oh, I mean that's a it is. She

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: is twenty six and does say in the name twenty

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: five and younger.

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, got a point.

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 3: I'm spiritually twenty four. I get carted all the time.

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 4: I identify as twenty four.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm young for my age. People say it all the time.

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: My college has these support groups where students can get

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: help and support each other and the presence of a

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: counselor The one I attend is supposed to be for

14
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: people twenty five who moved to college and are going

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: through the adjustment periods. This relates to moving. Most of

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: the participants are like myself, a freshman in college. There's

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: one girl who is a graduate student, though, and she

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: also just moved to this town for college. She was

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: twenty five back when the semester began, so she was

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: allowed to join them. He mostly talks about adjusting to

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: life here in this new town, trying to find a

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: part time job and struggling with her imposter syndrome, and

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: about missing her boyfriend who is going to move in

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: with her at the end of this year. But the

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: thing is, since she's older, it makes me and some

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: of the others who don't like to say it out loud,

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: uncomfortable that she's there.

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my gosh, please, she's so much older a

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 4: whole six months.

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: But she's like a graduate student.

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 4: I just don't get your references. I'm sorry.

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: If most of them are freshman, that is an eight

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: year age gap.

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: No, yes, no, they're all twenty five.

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 5: Oh it's twenty five and under.

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty five and under. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, most

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: of them are freshmen. That is eight years. That's like

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: almost a decade. Yeah, she's pretty much bones in a

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: coffin at this point.

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, one foot and a gray one foot on a

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: banana peel. Like. It just seems like she has a

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: different issue with adjusting than we do. I honestly don't

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: know why she bothers coming, since it must be clear

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: to her that none of us can relate.

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: And none of us water here. We all hate her,

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 4: hasn't gotten the hiss.

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: We've thrown things at her, we've talked about her behind

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: her back.

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: I couldn't imagine like opening up and like going out

50
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: on a whim and like I'm gonna go join the

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: support group, and then opening up to the people and

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: being like, h here's all my issues, and they're just like.

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: Get out of here, your old bag. You're disgusting. God,

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: we don't relate to you.

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 3: You're talking about season two of SpongeBob.

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: We like season twelve.

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know why she bilers coming here, since

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: it must be clear that none of us can relate

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and most of us kind of find her issues are

60
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: because she's in a different stage of life than us.

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair Anyways, I discovered that her birth they

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: was in December, which means she is now twenty six.

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: So I already went to the counselor and told her

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: about this, said she was aware a.

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: Smoking gun, like literally like here's your birthday present.

66
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: Here you go.

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: This is the problem. They had an eleven year old here,

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: they had they had a little tattletail in this room.

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: They didn't they'd have no age minimum. It's just under.

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: It's just under. My counselor said that she was aware

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: of it and that she had spoken to the twenty

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: six year old and she asked if she could be

73
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: allowed to join until the end of the semester, which

74
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: ends in March. I wasn't entirely happy with this since

75
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: they are breaking the rules, so I let the administration

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: section in charge of the support groups know about this

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: as well.

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Wow, the biggest tattletale and also just goody two shoes

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: but batty two shoes.

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what she reminded me of. She reminds,

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: you know, in Harry Potter five professor Umbridge, who is like,

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: these are all the rules? Yeah, like enough to follow. Yes,

83
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: that's what she reminds me of. I will not join

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: groups under twenty five. Yeah.

85
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, just writing it over and over and the blood

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: comes up and then you're scarred forever.

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: The administration emailed there and she doesn't come anymore. Oh no,

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: the counselor must also have gotten reprimanded for this or something,

89
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: because the last session she made a statement regarding how

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: she was sorry for allowing someone to violate our safe space.

91
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: What by turning an age? No, no, hey, that's like

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: on her birthday.

93
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: Oh I had a birthday. She had been born on

94
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: a leap year. It's your in fault. She didn't say

95
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: anything to me directly, but her statement she said was

96
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: that she was only trying to help someone out and

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: that's why she allowed it. Oh. I couldn't help but

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: feel a little bad since, well, she's only twenty six

99
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: and she's also a new student here. Oh what.

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: At the same time, she was starts listing all the

101
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: reasons why she joined the support group. She was in

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: a new city, she was having long distance relationship problems,

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: she did have imposter syndrome.

104
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we had more in common than I thought.

105
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: Season two of SpongeBob is pretty good.

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Now a couple of other students have mentioned how they

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: miss her, miss her being around and arranged to hang

108
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: out her. I thought that this was weird.

109
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: They started her own support group and then excluded Opie Good.

110
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: They did whatever age you are, your age isn't invited.

111
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: I thought this was so weird since she's so old, Like,

112
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: why is this twenty six year old hanging out with

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: nineteen year olds?

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: That hurts my feelings?

115
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: So she does hang out with people are her own age,

116
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: but I still think this is really strange. So am

117
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: I the a hole?

118
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: Yes, surely they could grandmother her in right, like like

119
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: there should be like you were twenty five when this

120
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: when the thing started. You should be able to go until.

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: The end of the summer. That was reasonable, And I

122
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: can't believe that, Ops saying like, oh, I kind of

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: feel bad now.

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: She was.

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: You know, you went out of your way to make

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 5: this happen.

127
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: Multiple times twice. Yeah, good god.

128
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 5: You should feel bad.

129
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: You suck, Yes, yeah you do.

130
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Op, definitely suck.

131
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: What rules are rules?

132
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: Why have why have an upper age limit to begin with?

133
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

134
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: It should be open for all students.

135
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does seem like a strange stipulation here.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: I don't know there's an upper age limit on like

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: the kid's menus.

138
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Uh not.

139
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: If you get real annoying when you're asking, if you

140
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: really pessed through the waitress, they'll give you the twelve

141
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: an hundreds.

142
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try that.

143
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: You can eat the macaroni and cheese.

144
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: You just have to have been eating that macaroni cheese

145
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: from the time you were eleven and then then your

146
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: grandfathered in grandmother.

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: Yeah there we go, Oh my god, yeah, ahole insane.

148
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so pedantic, like like three months, how much

149
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: do you think you like grow up in three months?

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: So you're like, you can't be in this anymore.

151
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 3: Well, it is a Pokemon. It is a second stage

152
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: Pokemon evolution. When you hit twenty six, Yeah, you're right.

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: You're going straight from Totaedel to Krocandle.

154
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: Your brain's fully developed.

155
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: Well I heard you don't need support after twenty five.

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: I think that's the rule.

157
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, your brain developed that frontal cortex. Dog, you got

158
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: it all there.

159
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: It just kicks in.

160
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Get out.

161
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: It's over its yours is done.
