15 Reasons Why Grandparents Are Amazing

I have a really special spot in my heart for my grandparents. They are people who mean the world to me, I would literally do anything for them. Here are 15 reasons why grandparents are so amazing.

1. Visiting is always so much fun!

Whether your grandparents live 5 minutes away or 5 hours away, it's always so much fun to go visit.

2. You’ll NEVER go hungry.


If you know you're going to go see your grandparents on a certain day, you might as well not eat that day or the day before for that matter. You know you're going to get snack, a meal, more snacks and a meal to go home with.

3.You get gifts/money all year round.

Even if it's not the holidays, you'll most likely receive some type of gift or some money, just because. Shout out to grandpa for being a random gift giver, you're the real MVP!

4.Holidays are literally the best.


Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Valentines day, birthdays, any holiday you think of, it's always special and exciting because you get to see or spend time with your grandparents. Holidays bring out the best in everyone.

5.They always spoil you.


"You're a blessing, you deserve everything". Well that's what my grandma says to me, then BAM! spoiled like the little princess I am (dramatically flips hair). I'm sure I speak for most girls on this one.

6.They always make you laugh and smile.


Without fail, my grandparents always make me laugh uncontrollably. I can never be sad or in a bad mood when I'm around them.

7.You hear amazing stories about their lives.


I always here stories of my grandparents lives, how they grew up and what they've been through. It amazes me how times have changed from when they were teenagers verse teenagers today.

8.You hear stories about your parent’s lives.

The more I talk to my grandparents, the more I hear about my parents and how they grew up with my aunts and uncles.

9. If you’re lucky, you get the dirt on your parents.


Its funny how my parents always have a different story than my grandparents. I learned a lot about my dad from my grandma the last few months, I can no longer get in trouble for anything ever again. *Little 30 second dance party* Thanks Grandma!

10. Day trips are always fun!

I love when I get to spend the day with my grandparents, going out and running errands with them, or doing family activities, or weekend trips are always so much fun.

11. You get to cook and bake with them.


I love cooking with my grandma, it's so fun and such a learning experience learning how to cook and bake. Especially around the holidays!

12. They appreciate your company more than anything.

My grandparents love when I come to visit. They get happy and enjoy just sitting and talking about anything and everything. Even a phone call just to say hi. They love it!

13. They will always defend you, even if you’re wrong.

I cant even begin to tell you how many times my brothers and I have called our grandparents to tell them "how terrible our parents are being and how unfair they are". Let's just say we always won in the end. My parents are still holding a grudge to this day.

14. They are your biggest supporters.

Games, dance competitions, karate, award ceremonies, graduations, proms, birthday parties, projects, relationships, you name it! Expect your favorite cheerleaders to be there! They will be your biggest fans no matter what you do. Especially during the rough times.

15. They will love you endlessly.

No one will love you more then your grandparents. You are everything to them. You mean everything to them. They need you just as much as you need them. They will love you forever and always.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
