10 Things That My Grandma With Alzheimer's has done that are super relatable
Lisa Jordan

It has been about ten years since we first heard the words "she has Alzheimer's". Now those words have become part of our daily vocabulary, my grandma has Alzheimer's. Everyday is a new one and with each new day comes a new story about my grandma. After all these years, we've learned to just laugh and go along with it because if we don't, then we will just cry. so in honor of Alzheimer's awareness month here are the most relatable things that my grandma has done or said, even with the Alzheimer's.

1. "You're all dumb and I'm going home"

Granted she was at home and just tried to go outside, but this is something that we've all thought at least once this week.

2. Putting a crayon in her oatmeal

Ashley Jordan

I mean I get this one, she wanted it to be more colorful. We all know oatmeal needs that little extra something.

3. Being obsessed with chocolate

Ashley Jordan

We're all obsessed with chocolate, so I get it. She can barely open the door on some days, but stick something chocolate in front of her and it'll be opened in seconds.

4. "Your face makes me want to throw up"

She can barely speak in complete sentences most days, but her insults are still on point.

5. Loving her shoes

Ashley Jordan

Shoes are some of the best things that we can buy and grandma understands

6. She has to have her morning nap or you know

Ashley Jordan

I mean we all need our naps, so I get this one

7. She loves coloring her coloring books

Ashley Jordan

Honestly coloring is the best thing ever

8. When she could not figure how the timer worked on the camera

Glenn Jordan

My dad did disappear after running to get into the picture, so she was trying to find him

9. "Thats a good one"

Ashley Jordan

She says that every time an attractive guy walks by, so she still has it going on

10. "I love you, you're really good"

When she says this, my heart melts. She says this when she is really happy. She says it to everyone when she is happy, even the waitresses at the restaurants.

Yes a lot of days are hard with my grandma, she is essentially helpless. But she still has her witty personality and she still is her, somewhere deep down. That makes it all worth it. We love you grandma and I hope that I am making you proud, its all for you.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
