Your 20s should be the best years of your life right? Filled with parties, friends, fun, and learning the ropes of adulthood. Although you may enjoy all of these activities, you often respond to situations as if you were an 80 year old woman. Here are 10 tell-tale signs that you are quickly progressing from young adulthood to senior citizen.

You have at least one cat

Having multiple cats the epitome of cat ladies and grandmas alike.

Going out late at night sounds all but fun

You enjoy a good time as much as anyone else…..as long as it occurs during daylight hours.

Naps have become a part of your daily routine

Much like the cats you own, you require many naps throughout the day to keep you going.

You prefer a bedtime before 10 p.m.

Despite the many naps, you just can’t bear to keep your eyes open any later than 10 or 11 p.m.

You are far more comfortable in a sweatshirt than a crop top

You are probably the least likely person to be seen in any sort of ultra-revealing clothing.

Other twenty-something’s behavior is appalling to you

You don’t quite understand how some people can spend each weekend binge drinking or wear clothing equivalent to a bikini.

People often comment that you are “wise beyond your years”

Older adults seem to understand you better than most of your friends and classmates.

You have a deep appreciation for life

You tend to have an outlook on life that is unlike most people your age, and you strive to live each day to its fullest.

Sometimes you aren’t sure if you were born in the right generation

Wait….you mean bell bottom jeans, The Beatles, and rock n’ roll hasn’t been popular for years?!

Friends come to you for advice about household chores

If a friend does not know how to wash a fragile sweater or is unsure of whether something can go in the dishwasher or not, you are the person they call.

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.
