Why Grandmas Should Run The World

The end to bad politics has been sitting in the recliner, knitting all along.

1. They make sure that you never go hungry

World hunger. Solved. Boom.

2. They triple check that you're warm enough/cool enough for each appropriate season

Someone is without a coat for the winter? Grandmas wouldn't have that.

3. They actually care about what you think and have to say

No questioning if your voice is being heard because you know Grandma has been listening since you were in the womb.

4. They nurse you back to health (for free)

Healthcare plans and hospital bills? Not when Grandmas are around.

5. They are great judges of character

No need for expensive trials—just take them to Grandma. She will know if they're guilty.

6. They are true moral compasses—for better or worse

This is great because Grandmas would lead the world in the way it should go. This is not so great when you aren't making the best decisions and Grandma knows about it.

7. They don't believe in restricted, healthy (disgusting) school meal plans

Goodbye, questionable grayish (soy) burgers.

8. You never want to do anything that could disappoint them

Violent crimes? Yeah right, not when Grandmas run the world. Nobody wants to disappoint Grandma.

9. They're often free seamstresses

When you're broke and your clothes don't fit, just go to Grandma. She will fix everything.

10. They give you money without you even having to ask

The solution to poverty has been Grandma all along.

11. Their door/couch/kitchen is always open when you need anything

Bad days wouldn't exist. Go see Grandma; they make everything better.

12. They're in tight with Jesus

Jesus and Grandma are the best of friends. Nothing gets past the two of them.

13. They still have the power over parents

Grandmas are some of the only people that actually have a right to tell parents how they should be parenting.

14. They don't believe in punishment without a whole lot of love

You definitely know when you did something wrong, because Grandma won't hesitate to let you know. She will also shower you with love (baked goods) at the same time.

15. They can (and will) clean anything at any given time

There would be no sanitation problems when Grandmas rule the world.

16. They are prayer warriors

You need a miracle? Chances are, Grandma already knows and has been praying for it.

17. To top it all off, they have the best jokes

There would be an abundance of happiness in the world because of Grandma's jokes. (You have to laugh, even when you don't really want to.)

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.
