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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
