Because college life just isn't for everyone.

16 Signs You're Actually A 20-Year-Old Grandma
Karp Financial

Admittedly, I am a horrible college student. Not because I don't do well in my classes, but because I find it hard to keep up with the rest of my peers in all things social, interactive and fun. I've often found myself feeling slightly uncomfortable at parties past 10 p.m. (I can't believe I'm missing my show!), but in an attempt to keep up my image as a "regular college kid," I power through time after time. Keeping up this facade isn’t easy, and sometimes I end up accidentally showing my true inner grandma to the sheer horror of my friends. So, for all the other 20-something grandmas in the world, here’s to you. And here’s what it really feels like when the rest of your friends are ready to rage and you're ready to take a nap.

1. You're in bed before 10 p.m.

2. You care more about comfort than style.

3. Your animals are your entire life and more.

4. If you miss your weekly show you get really cranky.

5. You’re ready to leave a party as soon as you show up.

6. You find enjoyment in watching HGTV and QVC.

7. You’re always sitting down. Always.


8. Just walking to your classes can completely wipe you out.

9. Grocery shopping is a spiritual experience.

10. You spend a lot of time thinking about your friends and wondering how they are.

11. You’re more than happy to DD your friends to make sure they’re safe.

12. You’re extremely uncomfortable with change in any way, shape or form.

13. Anyone under the age of 18 makes you really uncomfortable, and you assume they’re a trouble maker.

14. When your friends invite you out but you were planning on staying in and reading a book or sleeping.

15. You frequently say that you're tired of the working world and you're ready to retire.

16. You realize you've reached peak grandma age a little early, but you figure it's not so bad in the end and you're just prepping for your future.

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.
