I am in Canada and doing a 2nd year MA and I am 23-24. This year, I went to clubs and made friends in undergrad who are in second year-fourth year and ages are 20, 21 22, 23. A lot of stuff was one online, so I hardly met folks in my MA. On halloween, I went to a party with one of my friends in fourth year that had undergrads(drinking age in Canada is 19+). I was wondering, is this loserish or immature or sound like I’m that creepy old guy trying to fit in with youngsters?
 

I think its silly to compare a 22 year old fresh out of undergrad hanging out with people literally in their own age vs someone whose been out for like years and is clearly with folks younger and more immature
I mean, for someone fresh out,  life phase would not be an issue and dating undergrads who aren't sophomores is fine

I'm 22 and doing an MA in fall and was wondering as there is a good chance many students might be olde than me and I could have a hard time relating to them and since I'm closer in age to undergrads, I was curious, is it looked down upon to date/hang out with undergrads who aren't freshman? Is the lifestyle/maturity too different and will I seem like that old guy trying to hang on to his youth or is it normal?
 

I'm a 22 year old MA student doing it straight from undergrad and I feel like doing this is the end of my youth. In my class, I enjoyed the discussion but I have some folks much older than me like starting their PHD and already working for years now or being married/have kids and since they are my peers, I feel like I'm in the same life stage as someone in their late twenties/early thirties onward and I feel so old compared to undergrads(sophomore-seniors or 18-22 year olds) and I can't relate/am not in the same life stage and it makes me feel like my youth is over. Like I want to make friends and all which will be harder due to Covid and wouldn't mind my own age range. How can I deal with this as it's bothersome
   

In late 30s, you're too old for undergrad students, stick with grad students

I'll reaffirm that I've heard different opinions
and second, thanks for being condescending

Also tbh, I ask mainly in regards to hanging out as I do have a fear/anxiety that this means the end of my youth and I feel so old compared to people in the undergrad age range

22 dating 20 isn't weird?
I mean 20 dating 16 is wrong cuz its an adult dating a minor, I wouldn't say its comparable to that

I see but as I mentioned, I have seen many folks also say its fine and no one sees the undergrad as taking advantage or the grad as dipping down
and how many straight from undergrad nabbed them

I am not ignoring, I'm just saying I have heard other reactions elsewhere and like more than 9 people have saids its fine/no one will care and in my personal experience, no one had an issue 
Nah haven't met anyone, just wondering if I should consider it
It's only been 4 people as well
