Is there a big difference between 18 and 24?

lillyyyyleaaa

hello :) I just started going to university this year. I‘m turning 24 in a few days. the reason I didn‘t start when I was 18 is because I could not afford it, my parents really needed money so I worked for a few years. however, going to university has always been a dream of mine because I was always really good at school so I‘m happy that I can afford it now.

I feel a little bit insecure though because most other students are 18-20.. people usually think I am about 18 years old because I guess I look younger so that‘s good I guess! I found a few nice people at uni who I like :) but they are about 18 years old. they haven‘t asked me how old I am yet. it‘s not a problem for me that we are a few years apart but I‘m scared they will not like me anymore when they know I‘m a bit older. do you think this is an irrational fear? do you think they will still like me the same? thank you for replying :)
