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.)

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
