how similar or different do you look from your years in college?

[jingramm]

I am just wondering how much of your physical appearance changed. Surely, we can't expect to look like how we did in college forever

 

[schneiderguy]

Im still in college :awe:

 

[TallBill]

I'm in college

 

[QuantumPion]

I look totally different...I think I looked like I was 15 up until I was 25 and now I look like I am 35

 

[Nitemare]

36, but still in college

 

[HumblePie]

bit more of a belly, bit less hair, bit more filled out in the shoulders, and a bit fuller face. Mostly the same besides that.

I feel like I changed a lot more.
I look a lot older but it's not a good thing

I have a feeling I'm going to have shorter hair and be fatter.

been out 10 years. i worked as a truck loader for 6 years prior to going to college (late start, age 27) so i was 6'3" 240 and in decent shape. i loaded semis by hand for concerts/ industrial/ theater, so i was constantly lifting heavy cases and objects. now, im lucky to have to lift 60 lbs regularly and it has taken its toll. hair loss was inevitable, im glad i could sport a high n tight at 33, unlike my bro or any other male on my moms side of the family.

I never went to college, nor do I plan on going.

 

[vi edit]

I had 3 distinct phases in college. Came in a twig because I was running cross country. I was 6' 150 pounds.

I had what was essentially a career ending injury and put that extra energy into hitting the gym while continuing to eat piles of food like I used to. Went up to a pretty built 175 pounds.

Got a full time job working 3rd shift and still going to classes full time. Stopped working out. Starting eating HORRIBLE and let my self go and got pretty tubby at 190 pounds.

At the age of 32, I've shed off a lot of the weight from my peak of of over 200 pounds to pretty lean 170.

Oh...still have the same amount of hair...just more of it on my face with a beard and with a dash of grey here and there.

I look older?

I think I might have my college ID around somewhere...I'll have to look it up and then remember this thread.

Since I continue going back to college, it's only been 2 years since I was out...so not very. If you mean since my first time in college (20 years ago), then I look significantly different (40 pounds heavier, 1 inch shorter, no hair, etc).

So you're invisible? :hmm:

 

[vshah]

Yeah, but being asian you're bound to look identical.

I was a stick when I was younger, maybe 155 soaken wet, now I am 210, all muscle, best shape of my life. I actually think I have gotten better looking since I have gotten older.

I know I have. I was 6'5" 167 when I got my DL when I was 17. Now I'm 6'6", 240.

One of the greatest posts I've seen in a loooong time.

:thumbsup: to you, sir!

and a :beer:

 

[zinfamous]

anyway, about the same for me.

went from +10 or more inches of hair to now, original levels.

...and other than a 31-32" waist (then) to a 32-35" waist, ... .....the same!

Thanks. My voc-rehab counselor came into the office where I work yesterday. It was the end of my re-training program, and there were some papers to be signed. (my employer got reimbursed for 50% of my wages for the first 90 days)
He & I laughed about the changes since we first met. He told me in front of my boss that I "cleaned up pretty good," :biggrin: and said that with the tie and braces, I looked like a banker instead of the aging hippie who walked into his office in January 2007.
