Even though you're in your 20s, there are probably times where you feel like you don't exactly fit in with the rest of the 20s crowd. You like to go to bed early, going out to the bars all the time might be struggle or maybe you just get way too excited over adult things.

If you feel like you fit with these things, you might be the grandma of your friend group.

1. Going out during the week is a challenge.

It's Wednesday and your friends want to go out. You know you'll have fun if you go out, but your friends practically have to drag you to the bar.

2. You get excited about what you're going to be making for dinner.

You're past the stage of frozen dinners and ordering out every night. You've been on Pinterest for hours searching for the perfect gnocchi and vodka sauce recipe and you can't wait to try it out.

3. You're thinking about settling down.

While your friends are trying to pick up guys at the bar, you're dreaming about the day when your man finally pops the question. You also have your entire wedding planned out via Pinterest boards.

4. You can't function properly past 11 p.m.


Your bedtime is probably 10:30 p.m., so if you're out past that time, odds are you're yawning every five minutes. Forget sitting down because you'll be asleep on someone's shoulder.

5. Your friends can go out three nights in a row but you can barely handle one.

Three nights in a row? But when do you sleep?

6. You're super into crafting/knitting.

Not saying that crafting and knitting is limited to only grandmas, but if you can knit a sweater like a boss in a short amount of time, you might be a grandma.

7. If you don't get at least 8 hours of sleep, you're dead to the world.

Some people can stay up until 3 a.m. and get then be up and ready at 8 a.m. but honestly, I am not one of those people.

8. You get excited when you get grocery coupons in the mail.

Nothing is more exciting than discounted Wegmans products that you can use for the dinner recipe that you found on Pinterest.

9. Sometimes movie nights on your couch seem more appealing than the bar.

Wine + pajamas + chick flicks = happy life.

10. You know you're the grandma of the group, but you embrace it.

Just because you're the grandma doesn't mean you don't know how to have fun. After all, just look at Baddiewinkle.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
