I love my grandma so much. She's one of the most inspiring people I know. She's traveled the world, she raised two kids on her own and certainly helped raised me. I am so grateful for everything she has done for me. I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. She pushes me to be a better, stronger, smarter, independent woman.

However, now at 89 years old, she's lived quite the life, but her brain doesn't really work the way it used to. Also, being 89 she's a bit more old fashioned and she is just hilarious. So consequently, I have compiled a list of the funniest things my grandma has said.

1. I will never find a husband with clown feet like mine

A real blow to my self esteem, but she just wants me to settle down with a nice man, I guess.

2. Every piece of clothing I own is too tight or too revealing

Yes, this also includes my hoodies and jeans. This is also a very frequent thing she says to my mom, she believes "mothers should never wear tight clothes".

3. WHAT? … No, I don’t need a hearing aid

She needs a hearing aid, but you can't really argue with an 89 year old woman. Especially when she can't hear you. Despite the photo above, there is no possible way she was able to read that magazine, but she doesn't need glasses either.

4. She only ever wants one whiskey with ice

This is actually a very valuable lesson because it has taught me that even at 89 years old, having drank your entire life, you can still get tipsy after just one drink.

5. What color are you now?

Okay, I color my hair a lot. Every couple a months I'm usually getting a new hair color, my grandma just can't properly phrase that question.

6. The Kennedy Conspiracy

This one is gonna be long, but it's by far the best. So about a year ago my grandma started to believe this crazy theory that she is actually her sisters daughter from an affair she had with Robert Kennedy. Yes, Robert Kennedy. Nobody in my family has an idea how she got this in her head, but she so firmly believes it. Also, we've done the math and her sister would've been about 4 years old at the time. So, next time I ever have to tell a fun fact about myself I'm gonna say that I am a Kennedy through an affair.

I hope this article allowed you to laugh at some of the weird things my grandma says, or at least at the very old photos of me.

My grandma is one of the funniest people I know, along with being the most inspiring.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
