Confessions of a 20 Year Old Grandma

I always carry hard candies in my bag

My best friend likes to call me her "old maiden."

I cook her dinner but then make her leave before nine.

I usually wake up before sunrise.

That's why my bedtime is usually around eight.

A late night for me is 10pm - and that usually only happens if I'm babysitting.

Or if I'm hosting a dinner party.

I enjoy cooking and baking for people.

I also enjoy knitting.

And reading.

And teaching aqua aerobics.

I'm full of random, pointless trivia facts.

It's probably from watching Jeopardy every weeknight.

I love oatmeal and eat it almost every morning.

I also drink a lot of tea.

I always carry hard candies in my bag - butterscotches are my favorites!

If something reminds me of someone I know, I buy it for them.

It doesn't need to be a holiday or birthday for me to give one of my friends a present.

I am a couponer.

I'm always looking for the best deals.

If I want to go to the movies, it will be a matinee.

Tickets are cheaper during the day.

And I can still catch the early bird special at Cracker Barrel.

I love Cracker Barrel - especially the gift shop!

Going to craft shows is one of my favorite pass times.

I love wearing sweater - not the trendy ones, but the $9.99 sweatshirt looking ones from Boscov's.

I have seven Christmas sweaters.

I also have large, obnoxious festive earrings for every holiday.

My Christmas ones are bells and ring when I walk.

I also have a different watch to match every outfit.

I am a 20 year old grandma and proud to be one!

I mean, who doesn't love their grandma?

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.
