18-Year-Old Freshman Absolutely Disgusted by 17-Year-Old Prospective Student

In a text sent to her roommate group chat, Texas A&M University freshman and Hullabaloo Hall resident Eliza Shane expressed her disgust that high school juniors and seniors can come to visit campus as prospective students. Shane is currently 18 years old and graduated from high school less than a year ago.

“Oh my god, it’s so gross seeing all of those kids on campus,” Shane said in the “Hullabaloo Hotties” group text she and her roommates use to communicate. “What do they even talk about? Prom? They’re just so, like, young.” Shane still includes high school work experience on her resume and was recently overheard bragging about her nomination to her high school’s homecoming court in the fall of 2020.

Many freshmen struggle to accept the reality that they themselves are not far removed from prospective students visiting campus. Rather than recognizing the reality of aging, these students instead choose to lash out at minors for factors they cannot control, like their date of birth and the year their parents enrolled them in kindergarten.
