They like to spoil you rotten, but who’s complaining?

Why Grandparents Are The Best
frcenter

I think everyone can agree with that statement. Grandparents are the ones that smother you with love — so do your parents — but they might show it in a different way sometimes. I absolutely adore my grandparents. I'm 19 years old and still go sleep over at their house. Grandparents are the ones that bake your favorite cookies and give you endless kisses on the cheek. They like to spoil you rotten, but who’s complaining? Everyone should spend lots of time with their grandparents, they absolutely love it. Here’s many reasons why grandparents are the best,

1. They are always there for you.

2. They take your side when your fighting with your parents.

3. They let us watch our favorite TV shows on their TV.

4. They always make sure their grandkids have enough to eat

5. You get big, red, lipstick stains on your cheeks.

6. They love when you go sleep over.

7. They share their wisdom with you.

8. You hear the best stories from them at the dinner table.

9. It’s fun to teach them modern things (my fav…what Snapchat is and why they can’t zoom in on instagram)

10. They can spend all day with you and not get tired of you.

11. They surprise you with simple things.

12. You receive cards from them for every occasion (even Halloween)

13. They’ll cover for you no matter what.

14.They tell you embarrassing/funny stories about your parents.

15. Their pantry is always stocked with snacks.

16. They have a good grandma/grandpa smell.

17. They rarely say no.

18. They always try to make it to your extracurricular activities.

19. They take you out to eat even when there is food in the house.

20. They will always answer the phone when you call.

21. You can be yourself at their house (laying around, eating their good food, watching TV)

22. They let you stay up late and watch movies and eat ice cream

23. They’re always up for a board game.

24. They gave you your parents.

25. Their love for you is unconditional.

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.

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.
