Your twenties are a tough time; you always have a million and one things to do so little time to do them in. When the weekend finally hits, all you really want to do is bum around and binge watch Netflix. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, when it comes down to it, you’re the grandma of your group of friends. You have the body of a twenty-something year old but the tendencies of a 90-year-old woman.

Here are 14 signs you’re actually a twenty-something grandma:

1. Your bedtime is before 10 p.m.

Staying up past midnight is no longer an option for you, you’d much rather be cozied up to your plethora of blankets and pillows watching a movie.

2. Your go-to hairstyle is a bun, a grandma bun if you will.

The thought of styling your hair or leaving it down irks you so you’re constantly rocking a messy bun to keep it off your face.

3. You have an ‘old soul’ approach to life.

Whether you’re giving advice to your friends or reminiscing about the ‘good ole days,’ you tend to talk about your life like you’ve already lived it.

4. When your friends ask you to go out, you pretend to contemplate the idea but you already know you’re not moving from the couch that night.

5. You’re always a little chilly.

Doesn’t matter how warm it is, you always manage to feel cold. Hence fuzzy socks and oversized hoodies.

6. Anything that requires you to wear anything besides sweatpants just isn’t worth it.

Most of the time you’re chilling in your pjs or a hoodie and sweatpants, so any activity or outing that requires real clothes just isn’t appeal to you.

7. Technology isn’t really your thing.

You tend to stay away from anything high tech or complicated because besides the remote to the TV, you’re completely clueless.

8. You rush home from work just to get into your pajamas and watch TLC.

While your co-works are making plans for after work, all you can think about is getting out of your work clothes and watching "Saying Yes to the Dress."

9. Social media is too much for you.

All you really need to keep in touch with your friends and family is Messages and Phone. Trying to keep up with all the social media platforms is again, too much effort.

10. Your closet is made up of more sweaters than you care to admit.

Anything form fitting and structured makes your skin crawl, so your go-to outfit always consists of a cozy and slightly oversized sweater.

11. You don’t feel alive until you’ve had your first cup of tea or coffee in the morning.

That first sip of tea or coffee in the morning touches your soul on another level. You’re not a real person until you’ve had your fix.

12. People who talk above a whisper irk you.

Loud-mouthed people are the bane of your existence. You value the peaceful nothingness that is silence, but you can tolerate ‘inside voice’ level if need be.

13. You prefer calling someone up to texting.

You’re not one to be glued to your phone texting, you’d much rather call and hear their actual voice.

14. You’re fully aware of your grandma like tendencies and nothing anyone says will change you. You’re set in your old fogie ways and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
