Signs You're Already a Grandma

Signs You're Already a Grandma

I am 21 years old, yet I'm pretty sure I'm already a grandma 98% of the time. Here are some signs, you might be a grandma in a twenty-something's body.

1. You have a strange abundance of yarn. Whether it's accompanied by knitting needles or crochet hooks, you are skilled yarn master.

2. You are ready for bed by 8 pm and you have to force yourself to be a normal human until a more acceptable bedtime.

3. When someone says that you aren't leaving until 10, you find yourself in a bit of shock. My mouth usually drops, because that's pajama time, not drinking time.

4. You don't understand what people are saying half the time, whether that's what dab means (still not sure) or some other slang term, you just can't understand slang.

5. While you might understand technology and social media, new ones have to grow on you before you decide to download and learn how to use them.

6. You always have band-aids, snacks, and anything else you might need in your purse or backpack just in case of an emergency. Always prepared!

7. Sometimes you get referred as "mom" but that's because you are so motherly sometimes, but hey, grandmas were once moms too.

8. You have a plethora of weird sayings that no one says anymore, so when you say them, they are typically not well received or understood.

9. Whenever you go out, you always are hoping for a way to get out fast. You plan a time to leave, then try to find excuses to leave early because bed just sounds so much better.

10. When you go to a party, and actually stay, you have to help clean up. You can't let all the cups lay out and things stay in the sink. You need to help clean, what kind of person would you be if you let dirty dishes lay around?

You might be a grandma but you're still a fun time. Everyone needs a grandma their age to be there sometimes. Embrace your old soul.

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.
