I'm An 80-Year-Old Woman Trapped In A Millennial's Body

I am basically someone’s grandma, someone’s creepy grandma that makes tacky handmade gifts

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.

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.
