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

Britannica

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.

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.
