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!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
