Years ago while babysitting one high school Friday night, I looked up above the kitchen sink of my neighbors' house and saw a big, shiny, blue plaque that read "Mirror mirror on the wall I am my mother after all." At the time, I laughed this off but didn't come to realize how true this little slogan would be until I entered my senior year of college.

Almost weekly I find myself doing these 12 things listed, then immediately dropping my jaw and asking myself "who am I?"

Here are 10 signs that you are slowly but surely turning into your Mom, your Dad, or in my case both.

1. Getting way too excited over a good sale at the grocery store

4/$5 Progresso soup? Buy one get one English muffin? Sign. Me. Up.

2. Staying up past 12 a.m. is unheard of

Once it hits 9 p.m. you know there's no chance you're leaving your house.

3. As time goes on you know less and less of pop culture

Like thinking the FaceTime app house party was an actual party...or always finding yourself asking "who is that?" or "what's this song called?"

4. Your idea of a perfect Friday night is sitting on the couch watching TV with a glass of wine

This is especially true in the winter if it's below 40 degrees no one is leaving the house.

5. You yell at your roommates when they leave the lights on

These things cost money you know?

6. You pick clothes based on comfort rather than looks

Admiring those people who strut around campus wearing crocs, those things are ugly but boy are they comfortable.

7. Being overly concerned when friends aren't dressed right for the elements

Telling them things like "you're gonna get sick" and forcing them to go get another layer.

8. Cleaning before having people over

Making sure that your college apartment is presentable just for your 20 something-year-old friends to come over... like they care.

9. You watch a show on live TV each week religiously

Nothing can stop you from watching "Grey's Anatomy," "How to Get Away with Murder" and so on. Even to the point where you purposely don't make plans because well, you have a date with the couch.

10. Over the years your bag/backpack has become stocked with things that people may need

If someone complains of a headache you're the first one to offer them Advil. You wouldn't even dream of going anywhere without an umbrella in your bag, just in case.

The older you get the more you realize the apple really does not fall far from the tree, but you wouldn't have it any other way.
