I'm a 20-Year-Old with a Grandma Personality, and I'm Okay with That!

I'm a 20-Year-Old with a Grandma Personality, and I'm Okay with That!

I'm a 20-year-old MSU student, but I am not your average college kid. I rarely go to bars, I have never entered a frat house, I find my bed more comforting than someone else's, and I do not know what "The Walk of Shame" feels like.

1. "Hey Brooke, what do you wanna do tonight?" When I reply, "I may go out," what I really mean is, "I want to lay in bed." Seriously, just lay in my bed. It's Friday, so what? My bed does not judge my appearance, and it is always there for me. It takes care of me on my worst days. What else could I ask for?

2. "You're such a grandma." Yes, Yes I am. I wake up every day feeling refreshed, I don't know what hangovers are, and I can remember everything I did last night. I will not regret what I did the night before; I get crap done. I love being a grandma.

3. "What do you do... like for fun and stuff?" Normal things? Like I shop, read, exercise, take long baths, etc. You know, fun things.

4. "I swear you hibernate all year long." Yes, I do. I love sleep. If I could major in sleep, I would be CEO of a major company by 20. Sleep is healthy. You should try it; that way I would not have to hear about your "sleep deprivation" all the time.

5. "Hey, we are all going out tonight. Wanna come?" No, I'll pass. I have some serious plans already made at home. I'm gonna catch up on the last episode of Grey's or Scandal. But hey, call me, I'll come get you. It may take a few tries, but I'll wake up.

6. Those GroupMe's of all your friends making plans? Yep, I ignore those texts. Karaoke Wednesday sounds fun, but my bed sounds more fun. I love that you all are having a blast singing your hearts out, but how do you wake up in the morning? I'll just catch you on the flip side at maybe a normal time.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good time. There are times where I will get a spritz of energy and feel like socializing. I am just saying it's okay to fall outside the norm. Not every college kid goes out every night. The majority of students live semi-boring lives.

I have the personality of a grandma, and I love it. Remember grades are more important than your social life; they can guide the rest of your life!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
