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

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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
