Nine Signs You Are A Grandma, Trapped In A 20-Year-Old Body

I can't go out tonight, I have a date with my bed.

A 22-year-old is expected to go out, have fun, and make questionable choices. If you are anything like me, you skipped that stage and went straight into full-on grandma mode. Here are a few signs that you are a grandma trapped in a 20-something-year-old body.

1. You go to bed no later than 9 p.m.

As soon as 9 p.m. rolls around, you are all tucked up in bed ready to get a full night's sleep.

2. Your wild weekends consist of cleaning, doing laundry and baking.

There's always something to be done at home, whether it is vacuuming, dusting, or trying out a new cookie recipe. You consider it a wild night if you do all three.

3. Your body hurts when you hear friends talking about getting home at 3 a.m.

The thought of getting home that late literally makes your bones hurt. You should be going on your sixth hour of sleep at the point.

4. You have run out of excuses to say no to going out at night.

"Sorry I cant, I have to go vacuum my bathtub....."

5. You consider "youths" to be a big annoyance.

You think anyone who looks your age or younger than you is irresponsible and you get angry with their behavior.

6. You don't drink caffeine too late, or it might mess with your sleep schedule.

There is nothing worse than being in bed at 9 p.m. hyped up on caffeine when all you want to do is watch your shows and fall asleep.

7. You are up at the crack of dawn ready to take on the day.

You wake up full of energy at 6 a.m. ready to take on the day. Going to bed so early comes with a price, but the early bird gets the worm!

8. You dread going out past 9 p.m. on the weekends.

Being a 20-something year old, your friends are bound to ask what your plans are for the weekend and if you want to go get a drink at the bar. The 20 year old in you says yes, but the inner grandma is yelling no and we all know grandma always wins.

9. You hate loud noises.

It doesn't matter if it's a Friday night, you get mad when there are people outside or your neighbor is making loud noises past 8 p.m. That is your time to relax and get all cozy in bed.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
