Grandparents are pretty amazing people. Coming with a lifetime of wisdom, lots of hugs, and many snacks, they're some of the best people on the earth. They love unconditionally, and they take so much pride in their grandkids. Life is busy, and we can often take for granted the people who cheer us on even when we're not looking. So, here are some reasons to pick up the phone and call your grandparents!

1. They'll make you feel great about yourself.

Let's face it, grandparents LOVE to brag. You could have had a rough week, but your grandparents will always remind you of how amazing they think you are, even for doing the simplest things. Bonus: you know they're going right to they're other grandparent friends after they hang up to brag about your latest achievements.

2. They'll remind you that you shouldn't worry.

Having lived through a life of challenges, they know what's worth your worry. Even if you just failed a test or if you're fighting with a friend, your grandparents will tell you if your problem is worth the stress, which it usually isn't. You're guaranteed to leave the conversation with a little more perspective and relaxation.

3. They'll tell you about their latest stories.

You're grandparents lives can be surprisingly interesting. From a scandal at bingo night to a dramatic story one of their "girlfriends" told them, you'll be sure to hear some very exciting tales when you call your grandparents.

4. You'll hang up feeling loved and refreshed.

So, the next time you have two (probably more like ten, actually) minutes before a class starts, or you're in the car on a long drive, pick up the phone and reach out to the people who love you most. You're guaranteed to feel better after the call.
