Five Signs You're A Bar Grandma

Who decided going out at 8 p.m. is too early?

Five Signs You're A Bar Grandma
Giphy

There is a secret society of students that are among us at Ohio University. They are hard to discover, but when you do, the signs become obvious. I am, of course, talking about the students whose raging preferences look more like a 61-year-old's rather than a 21-year-old's. I am proudly among these students. Often, these students blend in with average students, but there is one time where #GrandmaStatus is more obvious than ever before — going out. There are five specific signs to look for to determine if you are, in fact, a grandma at heart.

1. You always want to go out (and come home) earlier than everyone else.

Going out at 11 p.m.? LOL. That's not going to happen unless you spend the day pumping your veins full of coffee and Red Bull. Not to mention, Fest Season is your favorite time of year because it's the only time your friends are okay with going home before 2 a.m.

2. Bed > Bars

Nothing makes you happier than ending the night with all your belongings and your No. 1 BAE — your bed. The comfort of your bed always trumps sticky floors and bathrooms without toilet paper.

3. Your going out clothes are comfortable.

The only thing you appreciate more than a girl who can rock wedges and a strapless bra is your own pair of jeans and converse. Bless those who can make it through the night looking #flawless, but you're just proud of yourself for making it out in the first place.

4. Your favorite part of going out is getting food.

Let be honest, whether it's popcorn from the Stal or Wings Over on the walk home, the food selection for your night out trumps any happy hour special there is, or ever will be.

5. You're always budgeting.

Getting a little liquid courage in your veins does nothing to stop you from sticking to your night-out budget. You search the happy hour boards for the best deal and make sure you don't cut into you drunk-food cash. You're only wish in life is that bar coupons existed...

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.
