They don't just look younger - they actually are younger in comparison with you! Sorry!
"They keep getting younger every year" is what I've been telling myself for a number of years. This year's freshmen (most of them, anyway) weren't even born when Reagan rode off into the sunset.
I may have hit a limit on that, however: the daughter of one of my undergraduate classmates, whom I interviewed when she applied to my undergraduate alma mater this year, has just been accepted.
Heh, the picture I didn't get, which my students later related to me, was that while I was projecting Thalia's dark matter drawings up on the big screen and leading the discussion about them, she was perched up on a stool next to me looking pleased as punch that we were all talking about her drawings in class.
But thinking about dark matter must be hard, because the poor kid woke up this morning with a 103d fever...
