12 Things Old People Do That Would Be Weird You Did

Have you ever noticed that people over the age of 65 basically have complete social immunity? Our elders can do almost whatever they want but no one judges them and they definitely take advantage of that. This list includes things that old people can do that would be weird if anyone else did.

1. Make you keep eating even when you are full.

Even if you are about to explode after eating an entire Thanksgiving dinner, if grandma tells you you need more meat on your bones, you will surely be eating some pie in no time.


2. "Rest their eyes"

Any old person can say this and automatically has an excuse to sleep anywhere. But God forbid I fall asleep in class.


3. Hate society

Any youths who hate society are automatically considered hipster, but for gramps complaining about that darn hip hop music is all part of a days work.


4. Having everything they do in their relationship be considered "cute"

Be honest, if you see an old lady and her husband walking down the street in matching clothes you would struggle to keep in your "aaawwws"; however, there is no way you would let your bff and her boyfriend walk out of the house with anything matching.

5. Carry everything they own in their purse

Grandma's purse is the real gateway to Narnia. I get weighed down by anything other than my phone.


6. Put on glasses to look at their phone.

(or to look at anything)


7. Tell off your parents

Could you imagine if your friend told your parents to leave you alone? If your grandparents yell at your parents its all good, and you're a little happy about it.


8. Play matchmaker

Your elders are always trying to hook you up with someone. Doesn't matter who they are. If you are single and they are single, to grandma it was a match made in heaven.


9. Actually partake in internet trends

Whipping, dabbing, nay naying? If you posted a video or picture doing any such thing your friends would disown you. If an old person does it, instant internet fame.


10. Pop pills

If you are under 60 and pop pills, you have a problem. If you are above 60 it is just a necessary part of staying alive.


11. Say anything they want

When someone old cusses or says something racist you usually just chuckle and shrug it off. If a young person even sneezes they are automatically offending everyone.


12. Make alcohol/drug references

When you get old you have got a lot of years and a lot of experiences under your belt. Those experiences are gonna slip out every once and a while. It's not like they have to worry about their moms finding out.



Old people get away with a lot, but society is better that way! We are all waiting for the day when we get old enough to whatever we want.

If your grandparents use the facebook, make sure you tag them!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
