12 Things Only The Grandma Friend Of The Group Will Instinctively Feel In Their Bones

In This Article:

Everyone always talks about their Mom friend, but what about their grandma friend?

You feel old. 

And probably have used the phrase "these youngin's" at least once when referring to people only a little bit younger than you. But you can teach them how to play chess.

Knitting is fun!

If you don't already knit, you probably want to learn how to knit.

Actually, crafts are fun in general. 

Homemade is better than store-bought because it was made with love!

You know the joy of staying in. 

Honestly, you don't understand how people stay up so late!

You aren't up to date on the hip new stuff. 

It's a whole other language half the time.

Baking cookies and sweets for friends is the best!

And pinching their cheeks while you hand them a plate is fun, too.

Rocking chairs are the best chairs.

I would argue, but I'm too old for that.

You understand enough about technology to survive. 

And hope that no one ever asks for help because you don't know.

Phonecalls are better. 

Texting just isn't the same.

You hurt. 

The chilly weather gets to you, along with all your aches and pains. Or, you might be injured a lot.

You're short. 

You swear you are shrinking.

You have your go-to sweater. 

Bonus points if it's tacky.

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.
