I was born a millennial. I am a 90's baby. However, I have an old soul. I am an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

I am the type of person that would much rather talk on the phone than text. As much as I love my phone I hate having to be tied to it. Sorry that I didn’t respond to your text, I set my phone down for one minute. Not to mention I like to have peoples’ attention. I hate it when I am talking to someone and they are too busy looking at their phone. I mean I have definitely done it before and I hate myself for it. I love keeping up with my correspondence via the actual post office. There is just something so fun about write and receiving actual letters. It is a dying art form but I am keeping it alive.

While all my friends are partying it up late at night or pulling all-nighters to study, I am over in here in bed by 9 p.m. I am all about getting good sleep and won’t compromise many things for it. My friends know that I am a peace out early kind of girl because I get really cranky if I don’t sleep.

I feel like the crabby old lady that lives down the street that yells at the kids to get off her lawn and stop messing with her rose bushes. Literally, why are people so intrusive and annoying? Get off my property and leave me alone. I don’t want to socialize with you, I want to sleep. Thanks.

I am a little bit against the “athleisure” movement. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love my yoga pants just as much as the next person, but there is a time and a place and I think as a generation we are pushing that limit a little bit. There is no shame in owning and wearing a pantsuit.

I clean like it is going out of style. I like to keep things clean, the kitchen, the dishes out of the sink, I sweep and vacuum regularly, organize and clean my room, do laundry on the regularly, not to mention make sure things are put away and organized all across the house. My roommates keep the bathrooms clean but I do a lot of tidying up of the main rooms.

I also tend to craft like an older lady. Make cards, paint, knit, I am basically someone’s grandma, someone’s creepy grandma that makes tacky handmade gifts. I am all about that. I have a hard time buying things sometimes because I feel like I can make it myself for cheaper. I feel dumb spending money on things I could make myself.

I am a millennial and I like being that way. I am a mover and shaker. However, I am also an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
