Being in bed by 9:30 and having a hot cup of tea sounds sooo much better than a loud college bar.

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

GIPHY

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

GIPHY

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

GIPHY

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

GIPHY

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

GIPHY

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

GIPHY

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

GIPHY

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.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
