I was born a millennial. I am a 90's baby. However, I have an old soul. I am an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

I am the type of person that would much rather talk on the phone than text. As much as I love my phone I hate having to be tied to it. Sorry that I didn’t respond to your text, I set my phone down for one minute. Not to mention I like to have peoples’ attention. I hate it when I am talking to someone and they are too busy looking at their phone. I mean I have definitely done it before and I hate myself for it. I love keeping up with my correspondence via the actual post office. There is just something so fun about write and receiving actual letters. It is a dying art form but I am keeping it alive.

While all my friends are partying it up late at night or pulling all-nighters to study, I am over in here in bed by 9 p.m. I am all about getting good sleep and won’t compromise many things for it. My friends know that I am a peace out early kind of girl because I get really cranky if I don’t sleep.

I feel like the crabby old lady that lives down the street that yells at the kids to get off her lawn and stop messing with her rose bushes. Literally, why are people so intrusive and annoying? Get off my property and leave me alone. I don’t want to socialize with you, I want to sleep. Thanks.

I am a little bit against the “athleisure” movement. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love my yoga pants just as much as the next person, but there is a time and a place and I think as a generation we are pushing that limit a little bit. There is no shame in owning and wearing a pantsuit.

I clean like it is going out of style. I like to keep things clean, the kitchen, the dishes out of the sink, I sweep and vacuum regularly, organize and clean my room, do laundry on the regularly, not to mention make sure things are put away and organized all across the house. My roommates keep the bathrooms clean but I do a lot of tidying up of the main rooms.

I also tend to craft like an older lady. Make cards, paint, knit, I am basically someone’s grandma, someone’s creepy grandma that makes tacky handmade gifts. I am all about that. I have a hard time buying things sometimes because I feel like I can make it myself for cheaper. I feel dumb spending money on things I could make myself.

I am a millennial and I like being that way. I am a mover and shaker. However, I am also an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
