24 Thoughts When Visitng Your Grandma In Florida

Visiting family during the holidays can be a very interesting experience, especially if you have family in a different state or even a different country. Even though some of our family members may be a little "cooky," we love them just the same, and we do get a good laugh out of their crazy antics. For some reason, though we all come from different backgrounds, we all seem to have a grandmother in Florida. If you're like, "No, I don't." Trust me, you do. She's out there.

I didn't have the chance to visit my grandmother in Florida this Christmas (shoutout to Mary Lou), but my friend Josh did, and we compiled a list of things that may go through your mind during this whirlwind of an adventure.

Here are some thoughts that may go through your head when visiting your beloved grandmother in the sunshine state:

1. "I don't know how you have your license."

2. "Why do you have pillows that you're not allowed to lay on?"

3. "Why does that lady keep shushing us?"

4. Elderly cleavage.

5. "Why does she keep eating over the buffet?"

6. "I think you've told me that before."

7. "Is that racist? I think that's racist."

8. "Is that our Cadillac? No, that's a different Cadillac."

9. "Yes, I'm full. No I don't wany anymore food. No, I don't want a muffin, thanks though."

10. "Bingo?! Already?! Someone check those numbers."

11. "I should probably apologize to the waitress."

12. "If she didn't want it to be hot, why is she in Florida?"

13. "There's no way she just counted that stroke in mini golf."

14. "Damn, I have to apologize to the waitress again."

15. "I wonder what would happen if I just started running?"

16. "Yes, you pick out what ice cream you want and then you tell them your order. Yes, these are all the flavors. Yes, so now you tell them your order."

17. "Maybe I'm adopted."

18. "Maybe they'll serve me alcohol if I ask."

19. "It's not broken you just need to connect to the wifi."

20. "Who was that you just said hi to? Oh, you don't like her?"

21. "You don't have to download anything to use the Internet."

22. "Yeah, you just press down on that knob to turn on the wind shield wipers."

23. "That wasn't so bad."

24. "Yes, I'll be back next year Grandma."

We love you, Grandma. Even if we do have to apologize to strangers and teach you how to turn on the computer every time you use it!

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.
