Signs You're A Grandma In Your 20s

Welcome to the most swinging group of ladies this century.

Signs You're A Grandma In Your 20s

Being a 20-year-old grandma in a college town is often a challenge. While the majority of your friends find themselves rushing through their "to-do" lists so they can hail the local bar with the best drink deal, you find yourself looking forward to a glass of wine and a really good book. Pub happy hour just doesn't sound as appealing as an afternoon spent with your best friend jamming to some records. If any of this sounds like you, you may just be a college grandma too.

1. "Shopping" consists of a trip to the book or record store.

Instead of hitting the mall for a cute outfit for downtown, you find yourself debating over which book to buy (even though you have an endless pile of books waiting to be read already). Who has time for heels when there are so many good records waiting to be bought?!

2. You can count on one or two hands how many times you've been out this semester.

Loud music and drinks spilled all over you? No thanks. I prefer my music at a normal decibel and my drinks in my cup, not all over my body.

3. Two words: arts and crafts.

The key to any 20-year-old grandma's heart is definitely a trip to the craft store (and an unlimited credit card). Your Pinterest board is organized and ready. So many DIY projects, where do you even begin?!

4. You like your pets more than you like people.

You may be the stereotypical "cat lady" or you may be like me and be overly obsessed with your canine companion, but having a furry best friend is definitely an attribute of a 20-year-old grandma. It gives you the perfect excuse to stay in bed all night when your friends beg you to come out for free drinks. "I can't go to the bar... It's my dog's half-birthday."

5. You find yourself constantly trying to feed your friends.

I recently realized that every time a friend comes over, I try to stuff a snack down their throat before they can even say hello. It may not be the stereotypical "grandma's cookies," but you love whipping up some magic in the kitchen for everyone you know.

This sound like you? Welcome to the club girlfriend. We may be a minority in the college world, but I promise we are the most swinging group of ladies in this century.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
