When Seventh Grade Feels Like a Lifetime Ago

Isn’t it fascinating how time blurs the edges of our memories? The further we journey into adulthood, the more our youth takes on the quality of a dream: radiant, surreal, punctuated with moments of intense joy, awkwardness, and a naive understanding of the world.

“Get in there, I’m gonna go!”

This unassuming video captures a slice of life moment in a seventh grader’s day. Brought to us by the creative genius who goes by ‘Cheese’ on a popular social media platform, this video is a delightful vignette of the timeless narrative of adolescence. The star of the clip is a diminutive seventh grader who bears a striking resemblance to some beloved pop culture characters, sparking a wave of comments likening him to the likes of ‘Young Sheldon,’ ‘Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks,’ and ‘Mr. Peabody’s boy Sherman.’ His somewhat bashful demeanor coupled with his striking appearance has managed to tug at the heartstrings of millions.
