We all have those friends who will care for you and make sure you're properly fed. Then there are those friends who make jokes but tell it like it is. But every once in a while, there's a special type of friend that can never hear what you're saying and loves napping. Being the 'grandpa friend' is a unique position.

Here are a few ways to prove that you're the 'grandpa friend'.

(And if you don't know anyone in your friend group that's the grandpa friend, it's probably you.)

1. You love naps.

Nap time is anytime.

2. You have trouble showing emotion.

Being affectionate is not your forte. But that doesn't mean you don't care. You just have trouble expressing your feelings.

3. Your back hurts all the time.

And your knees pop every time you bend down.

4. You're grumpy all day, every day. 

It's too exhausting being cheerful.

5. You hate teenagers.

Why are young people so annoying?

6. You're always cold.

Sweaters are life.

7. Parties are not your scene.

Giphy

Loud music, underage drinking, and a bunch of sweaty kids? Absolutely not.

8. You complain about everything. 

You need someone to listen to your grievances about mundane things.

9. Your hearing is not the best. 

Your most used phrase is, "What did you say?"

10. You like being left alone.

Your personal time is personal. Meaning just you.

11. You love watching T.V. 

Netflix will always be your first true love.

12. You can't remember anything. 

When your friend brings up something from 2 years ago. Or even 2 days ago.

13. You love your snacks.

Never. stop. eating.

14. You think about your impending doom more than normal.

We all die.

15. You love to dance, even though you can't.

The clubs aren't ready for all of this.

16. You spend your money carefully.

Coupons are your best friend.

17. Your go-to drink is hard liquor. 

Rum and coke please. Or just straight whiskey.

18. You think you know everything because of your "wise age".

19. You can be inappropriate at times. 

You're jokes are not good.

20. You have a big heart.

Somewhere deep deep deep down inside.

Honestly, most of these signs also apply to any college kid.

So whether your the mom friend, the dad friend, or an old person stuck in a teenage body, you contribute just what's needed to make your friend group complete.

Keep on complaining, gramps.

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.
