At face value, it seems like college kids and senior citizens couldn't have less to do with each other. If you look close enough, however, you'll see some pretty undeniable proof that they're basically living the exact same lives.

LA-based illustrator Ian Higginbotham has put together a few comic strips that show the similarities between young students and their (much) older counterparts, and it turns out they go even deeper than museum ticket discounts. After checking these cartoon drawings, you might find that you relate to the old folks - or youngins - in your life a little bit more.

Vote for the funny comics that sum up your life the most below, and share these cool drawings with anyone who might benefit from a new perspective on the supposed 'age gap.'

    This makes out that having a passion for what's going on in the world is a bad thing! We should never stop caring!

    Important, but for different reasons: one is for entertainment the other is for survival

    I don't think it's a reflection. I think that's him thinking "this alcohol will kill me." I could be wrong through
