Maybe it's the idea that you like to be in bed by 9:30 and would much rather stay in then go out to a bar. Now although I might not check off yes to all of these signs, I can tell you I relate to more than half of them. Here are 10 tell-tale signs that you're a grandma living in a college students body:

1. You're In Bed By 9:30

I know I'm not the only one that loves to go to bed early. As a college student, most students are just starting their homework or the night in general. However, if you're a morning person like me, going to bed early is a must. And no you don't have to actually go to sleep at 9:30, but being in bed all cozy by that time is so relaxing and hands-down the best part of any day.

2. You'd Rather Stay In And Watch A Movie Than Hitting the Bar

This is probably one of the biggest tell-tale signs that you're a grandma living in a college student's body. I don't know about you, but I'd rather cuddle and watching a movie with my boyfriend than hitting the bar and being hungover as heck the next day.

3. You Actually Own A Pair Of Pajamas

GIPHY

Everyone wears pajamas, but having a REAL set of pajamas is a whole different story. You threw away your sweats and comfort Color T-Shirts a loong time ago, and you've entered the world of real adulthood and luxury.

4. You're The "Mom" In Your Friend Group

GIPHY

You love having fun but are the voice of reason and responsibility in your friend group. You just make sure nothing gets too out of hand.

5. Coffee And Tea Really Seem To Make And Calm Your Day

College students love caffeine, there's no doubt about that. But you strive for the more 'sophisticated' drinks if that makes sense. No Monsters or 5 Hour Energy's for you. A nice calming cup of tea is what you look forward to every night.

6. You Value Deep Connections And Close Friendships

It's no secret that college is the time to meet tons of people. However, unlike other students, you look for students that have similar interests and show loyalty and true friendship. You definitely prefer quality over quantity.

7. You Find Yourself Lost In Today's Slang

Slang comes in and out of modern societies dialogue. But through the numerous amount of slang that is created, you always have a hard time understanding how they're used or even why they're used. Does someone want to explain to me that if something is really good, it "slaps"? Like who's coming up with these terms?

8. You Seem To Get Along With Adults Rather Than Kids Your Age

Maybe it's because you're more mature or think more wisely than kids your age, but you seem to have no trouble holding a conversation with those well beyond your years. Its the sophistication and maturity that you love, especially when kids your age only talk about school, going-out and hookups,

9. You Give Advice Well Beyond Your Years

GIPHY

You seem to be the roommate, friend or classmate that most people go to for advice and life lessons. You seem to carry the wise words of wisdom that is thanked and used by many.

10. You Can't Wait To Settle Down And Have A Family

Let me make this very clear, there is no rush to get married or have a family especially at my age when you have the whole rest of your life. However, I seem to find joy spending time with family and spending quality times with others than going out to a bar and getting drunk. I can truly see myself having a beautiful family, and although there is no rush, the idea doesn't scare me in the slightest.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
