Our generation can be characterized as live fast die young. It's an age consumed by temporary highs, unique jargon, and of course, a looming presence of social media. As a millennial, there are often times where I feel out of touch with my generation and know that I am not the only one who feels this way. And so, I present "19 Signs You're a Grandmother In Your Own Generation."

1. You often wonder about the origins of our lingo. You're dying of a laughter? Okay, if you say so. I suppose that's a better way to go than most.

2. And are constantly looking up slang words on urban dictionary because unfortunately there's no course titled "How to Be Lit With Your Homies 101"

3. When you finally get comfortable enough with a word, you're about fifty years too late because there's a new word.

4. There's just a constant struggle with you trying to keep up with the crowd.

5. You turn on the radio only to turn it off because you're either baffled or appalled by what's playing.

6. Getting to bed before midnight is of high priority in your life.

7. And so, your friends know not to make plans with you to go out at 10 pm because that's just madness.

8. And on the off chance that you decide to grace any night scene, you often regret it because you can't imagine how anyone can enjoy listening to music at that volume without having their eardrums bleed.

9. Because of this, people often question your idea of a good time. (Shout out to TGIF for Bingo Wednesdays.)

10. And nothing sounds more exciting than baking with your girlfriends.

11. Technology is your worst enemy.

12. When you see someone wearing shorts and a t-shirt in 60 degree weather, you become genuinely concerned for their health.

13. When you discovered snapchat filters, your reaction was probably similar to that of a cat with new ball of yarn.

14. You strive for practicality in all aspect of your life, especially in your attire.

15.You have to stop yourself from calling people who are less than a year younger than you "sweetie" or "hun" because you don't want to sound condescending.

16. Your solution to any ailment is tea with honey and lemon. Sore throat? Tea with honey and lemon. Stuffy nose? Tea with honey and lemon. Death? Tea with honey and lemon will probably help.

17. You find yourself often complaining about the little things that our generation does and reminisce over the "good old days".

18. Even though, you're only twenty years old and the only time period of your life that could possibly qualify as the "good old days" were when you were a fetus.

19. When you heard #freekodak was trending, your first thought was that something was wrong with those disposable cameras from Kodak company. Yeah, that's apparently not what it's about.

20. You've finally given up trying to keep up with our generation because you're truly enjoying life and grandmothers are wonderful beings, anyways.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
