Grandma’s Love and Sass Summed Up In 10 Comments

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

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.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
