You end up wearing only jeans to college while others are experimenting with palazzos, culottes, cigarette pants... the works.
Every shopping excursion ends with you buying yet another pair of jeans though you’re quite sure you have a similar shade tucked away somewhere in the pile of jeans in your wardrobe.
You feel too lazy to check if the new kurta your Ma bought will go with your slim-fit jeans, so you just pull out a T-shirt. Coz you can’t go wrong with that and it’s comfy.
Unwashed jeans are your best friend.
You feel underdressed at a pub as most people around you are all in minimal clothing.
The most common question lobbed at you is if you at all own any other outfit. Coz the different jeans and tees you mix and match are all a blur to them.
Your parents are always wondering whatever happens to all the clothes they buy for you.
You hate attending weddings and other family events because that means a mini war between your parents and you about what you’ll wear. Of course they give in, you slip into your go-to pair of jeans and fancy tee and spend the evening feeling silently judged by all the relatives.
You hate summers because you feel uncomfortable in jeans.
You often wonder why people pay so much to get distressed jeans while you get them for free because you’ve simply battered your pair with overuse.
THINGS THAT EMBARRASS COLLEGE KIDS THE MOST
When your mom notes down the phone numbers of your friends and calls them, rather periodically, to find out if you are with them. #TrustIssues
When your friends post rather inappropriate comments about you and your crush. The embarrassment is unparalleled.
When your boyfriend does excess PDA in front of your friends and they start smirking at you.
When you look at your relationship graph and wonder if you were drunk while being in a relationship with them.
When your friends keep screaming and laughing in public and everyone stops and stares at you guys.
When your crush finally notices and speaks to you. You are so embarrassed that you are almost incoherent.
When your parents show embarrassing baby pictures of you with little or no clothing to your friends.
When you meet the professor after bunking his class.
When your present boyfriend meets your ex by chance.
When embarrassing pictures are purposely posted on your Facebook wall on your birthday and your crush comments ‘haha’.
When your friend purposely asks you who you like in front of your crush.
When people start writing or commenting on old statuses. #facepalm
When you hit a ‘deep like’, meaning you’re stalking someone really hard and accidentally ‘like’ their 153-weeks-old picture.
When the parar kakima and relatives ask if you have a boyfriend and when you plan to settle down.
