Why I Still Love And Remember My Granny In My 20s
Facebook

If you are anything like me, you grew up with lots of different family members. One of my favorite family members hands down is my Granny (otherwise known as Amma). She means the world to me and I love doing life with her, even though we only get to see each other a few times a year.

I am in my 20s and I love every single moment I have with my Amma. I enjoy looking back on the memories we have made growing up and she's still herself. She's sometimes a little on the goofy side with her present buying, but she always has a backstory of why she thought the gift caught her eye.

My summers and winter visits with Amma are what I look forward to the most. She's from Michigan, so that's why I don't get to see her very often. But when I do we are always eating some sort of sweet treat (sorry mom). But we do more than just eating sweets, we spend time reminiscing about when I was a little girl and how I loved playing in the basement with the Kooi Kitchen (my cousins will know about this as well).

I love my Amma because she does not care what other people think of her. She says whats on her mind, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense. But that's what makes her my Amma and my cousin's Amma. I don't know what I'd do without her, she's the glue that keeps our family together.

I will always remember my past and recent memories with my Amma. I love that I am still able to have her here with me to talk to, even if she is on social media liking and commenting on all of my posts, she does it with love.

As always, thanks for reading! Do you have a favorite memory or memories with your Amma (Grandma)? I'd love to hear it down below in the comments. Stay tuned for early January because I will be writing about my other grandma, you won't want to miss it!

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
