The Chronicles Of My Grandma Bonnie: Part 1

Because we all need a laugh sometimes, and my grandma provides us with just that.

The Chronicles Of My Grandma Bonnie: Part 1
Paige Larsen

The one word that describes my grandma: funny. Living in the same town as my grandma has given me so many opportunities to just hang out with her, which means there is almost always a new story to share. She has a unique personality that you probably won't find in anybody else in this world and would be described as one of a kind. There are a handful of stories with her that are top-notch funny, and I can't help but share them with everyone.

One day, my mom, my grandma and I all decided to go to Omaha (about 45 minutes from our hometown of Fremont) to do some shopping. On our trek there, we were all talking about how my grandma had just gotten wireless internet installed at her house. Like most people who are her age, she doesn't know a whole lot about technology and how it works, and that leads me to the thickness of my story. This was the very conversation between us all that surely made my mom and me laugh:

Mom: "So how is the new internet working out for you?"

Grandma: "I just don't understand it. It's not working well for me."

Mom: "What don't you understand about it?"

Grandma: "I don't understand how it works. I need to be able to see it work in order for me to understand how the wireless connections work."

Me: "So you're saying you need to watch the WiFi waves go from your router to your device to understand it?"

Grandma: "Yes! I need to see the wireless waves go through the air and into my device, then I can understand how it works."

At this point, my mom and I were laughing hysterically, and my grandma wasn't sure why. We then explained to her how it worked and why you can't see the wireless waves. To this day, she still has wireless internet and is in the process of getting a new computer, along with a tablet she uses every now and then.

Even though my grandma isn't the most tech-savvy person, we still love her. She not only gives us some great stories to tell, but just a good and much needed laugh for the day. I appreciate that. Here's to everyone with grandmas like Bonnie.

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.
