Grandmas are the wise old women in the story books, only with a lot more spunk. And, more often than not, they don't hold back on their commentary (which, after 80+ years of being alive, I would be sick of biting my tongue too). Here are the 10 comments your grandma is guaranteed to say to you at your next family function.

1. Ask if you've had enough to eat

Because, if you don't eat an amount of food that could adequately feed a small whale, the results could only be catastrophic.

2. Ask how your love life is

And, regardless of how long you have been dating your significant other, your Grandma will still refer to him/her as your "friend."

3. Slyly insult millennials

You only need to wear ripped jeans once in front of your grandma until you will never do it again.

4. Comment about the waitress/waiter

The food hasn't arrived yet? The waitress has a nose piercing? The male waiter has a ponytail? Grandma will make sure we all know in the kindest-sassiest way.

5. Tell hilarious stories about her son/daughter

Nothing is better than hearing embarrassing stories about your dad when he was eight years old.

6. Laugh at how ‘old’ she is

Even though she is 90 years old and still hosts a garage sale each weekend…like Grandma, I sometimes sleep with the lights on because I am too lazy to get up and turn off the switch…

7. Gossip about her small town

It is necessary to keep updated on Debbie repainting her house to an off-green that clashes with the entire block. And of course whispering the entire time, because you never know who could be listening.

8. Tell you how proud she is

Grandmas don't lie, they have lived far too long to try and hold anything back (and rightfully so). Therefore, when your grandma holds your hand and tells you how proud she is, it is one of the best compliment you'll ever receive.

9. Ask about your future plans

Also, grandmas are noisy. Therefore, you better have a response of what you plan to do with your life ready, because an "I don't know" will not satisfy her curiosity.

10. Tell you she has money or a gift

Bless her sweet little heart, the woman always has a five dollar bill up her sleeve or an old bracelet from her jewelry box to bestow upon you at the end of the day. The woman is truly a saint.

Optimism Is Prime

Recently I have done a lot of reflecting on my life and the things that I have happened. Some of them very good, some alright, and others not so good. I have found that in life it can be very hard to deal with the not so good things that have happened. You can tend to feel defeated and discouraged. At the beginning of the school year I was struggling a lot because a lot of changes had happened, some of them good and others challenging. The biggest challenge I had was not working due to an injury that I had that kept me from doing my job. I was also trying to adapt to a new school, sorority life, and rugby. I ended up not doing as well as I could have academically. All these events made it hard for me to see that things will be just okay. So when the second semester came around I had to fight my way to better my outcomes and to basically get right back up on the horse. This didn’t come so easily.

"The Last of Us" is a video game that is made by Naughty Dogs. Now Naughty Dogs is a game developer that I am familiar with because of the "Jack and Daxter" series of games. So I have played some of their games, not many, but some. In this game there is a lot of detail, which makes it quite fun. Now like with any review, it will have some spoilers.

From 3 To 89, Ages Referenced In Taylor Swift Songs

Are you at one of the ages mentioned in Taylor Swift's songs?

Before Taylor Swift's transition from a country/pop sweetheart to a crazed vengeful victim, I was a huge fan of hers. I've been listening to her music for as long as I can remember.

Over the years, as an observant T Swift fan, I've noticed her penchant for mentioning ages in her songs. Maybe she does this so she can look back on these songs and remember how old she was when she had these experiences. Or maybe she does it so her fans have another level to relate to her on. For at least my past seven birthdays, I've checked to see if Taylor Swift mentioned my new age in one of her songs.
