Four of these are things that I'm grateful for as well. I spent years being annoyed that people assumed I was, oh, about seven years younger. When you're a recent college graduate trying to make your way as an adult, it's a bit demoralizing to have people assume you're still in high school. But now I'm pleased every time someone comments on how young I look, just because I feel as though I've aged so much, physically, in the last few years. (I'm 27 and folks tend to assume I'm still at university.)

The older folks who predicted that? Absolutely right. :-)
