Hello, my name is Gianna and I am the grandma of my friend group. I admit to being oblivious to technology and not understanding new sayings. I had no clue what Harambe was until I looked it up, and I learned what an "edible" is a few ago. My mom used "ratchet" in her lexicon before me. These are 10 reasons why I am the grandma of my friend group.
1. Sleep is life.
I need to get at least nine hours of sleep and if I don't there will be an unnatural amount of caffeine in my system to keep me awake. I take naps like it's my job and I admit to taking at least four naps a week that last longer than an hour.
2. I don't "go out."
In college, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are for "going out" (a.k.a. getting sh*tfaced at a frat house or local bar). I'd rather hang out with my friends and have good old-fashioned fun doing not illegal things. I'm not a hermit, but I'd rather "go out" shopping or on a date than "go out" to kill brain cells that us college kids need.
3. Netflix & Chill is taken literally.
Netflix & Chill to me is watching Netflix and relaxing in my bed with lots of food. I don't believe in that other meaning. Get your mind out of the gutter, kids.
4. Staying out late is any time past 9 pm.
After a long day of work and school, I just want to sit down and cuddle with my dog on the couch. I don't want to stay out late because that means less sleep for me. Less sleep = unhappy Gianna.
5. The only reason why I would stay out late is that I'm studying or going to bingo to get free stuff.
Free is for me.
6. I dress super conservatively (but not even on purpose).
My whole wardrobe just happens to be full of floral and lace dresses that show no cleavage and are flowy. This isn't for any particular reason, but it's what I feel my best in.
7. I don't understand the things that kids are saying these days.
I look up almost every Instagram caption and text in the Urban Dictionary. One time I looked up what "finsta" and "rinsta" were because I was too embarrassed to ask my friends since they were saying those words so nonchalantly. (For those of you who are like me, "rinsta" is real Instagram account and "finsta" is fake Instagram account where you post your ratchet pictures).
8. Staying in is actually fun!
Me, Myself, and I have the most fun!
9. I read romance novels when I've watched too much "Wheel of Fortune" and/or "Golden Girls."
Just pick up any Nicholas Sparks novel and you'll understand why I'm a hopeless romantic.
10. Going to the grocery store is a BIG outing (unbeknownst to the public).
You have to dress to impress! Food is a YUUUGE deal! Plus, you never know who you're going to meet!
