Why Grandmas Should Run The World

The end to bad politics has been sitting in the recliner, knitting all along.

1. They make sure that you never go hungry

World hunger. Solved. Boom.

2. They triple check that you're warm enough/cool enough for each appropriate season

Someone is without a coat for the winter? Grandmas wouldn't have that.

3. They actually care about what you think and have to say

No questioning if your voice is being heard because you know Grandma has been listening since you were in the womb.

4. They nurse you back to health (for free)

Healthcare plans and hospital bills? Not when Grandmas are around.

5. They are great judges of character

No need for expensive trials—just take them to Grandma. She will know if they're guilty.

6. They are true moral compasses—for better or worse

This is great because Grandmas would lead the world in the way it should go. This is not so great when you aren't making the best decisions and Grandma knows about it.

7. They don't believe in restricted, healthy (disgusting) school meal plans

Goodbye, questionable grayish (soy) burgers.

8. You never want to do anything that could disappoint them

Violent crimes? Yeah right, not when Grandmas run the world. Nobody wants to disappoint Grandma.

9. They're often free seamstresses

When you're broke and your clothes don't fit, just go to Grandma. She will fix everything.

10. They give you money without you even having to ask

The solution to poverty has been Grandma all along.

11. Their door/couch/kitchen is always open when you need anything

Bad days wouldn't exist. Go see Grandma; they make everything better.

12. They're in tight with Jesus

Jesus and Grandma are the best of friends. Nothing gets past the two of them.

13. They still have the power over parents

Grandmas are some of the only people that actually have a right to tell parents how they should be parenting.

14. They don't believe in punishment without a whole lot of love

You definitely know when you did something wrong, because Grandma won't hesitate to let you know. She will also shower you with love (baked goods) at the same time.

15. They can (and will) clean anything at any given time

There would be no sanitation problems when Grandmas rule the world.

16. They are prayer warriors

You need a miracle? Chances are, Grandma already knows and has been praying for it.

17. To top it all off, they have the best jokes

There would be an abundance of happiness in the world because of Grandma's jokes. (You have to laugh, even when you don't really want to.)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
