Let's face it, we all identify ourselves in different ways based on our characteristics and into our own categories, in hopes that we will eventually find others to relate to. This piece is dedicated to all of those twenty-something people identifying as grandmas, like myself, out there. Grandmas unite!

1. You have a horde of oversized sweaters in your closet.

Funky patterns, plain and simple, stripes. Someone wants to borrow it and chances are you've already got it. Score! Most helpful friend award goes to you! Then the anticipation sets in until they return it back to you and it goes back into its home in the closet. Let the waiting time begin.

2. Your weekend plans usually consist of staying in.

A perfect night in is laying in a mountain of blankets with a stack of books that you have already read a thousand times before, but want to read again just to see if maybe you maaaaay have missed a significant detail the first three times around.

3. You are an avid collector of tea.

You cannot help but buy a new box (or three) every time that you walk into a store and you see a flavor that you have never tried before. No tea can go untasted! People should take note to not ask you what your personal favorite flavor is, unless they want to go head first into an unexpected three hour lecture about why you could never possibly pick a favorite.

4. You are constantly cold, no matter the current season.

You always have multiple layers of clothing on and winter is your own personal definition of hell on Earth. Going outside in the winter is even more torturous for you and having six blankets on is just a normal day for you. Three cheers for poor circulation and difficulty retaining body heat!

5. Loud noises make you beyond irritable and cranky.

This is especially true for myself and is a slight difficulty that cannot be changed while living on a college campus. Luckily, I have been able to find decent hiding spaces on my campus that allow me to find some peace and quiet.
