How You Know You Are A Grandma At 20

I carry a purse big enough for a large dog.

How You Know You Are A Grandma At 20

Are you done with the partying stage, or you never even went through the party stage? Same. You would rather spend your weekends curled up in your comfy bed with you compression socks reading a great book. If you are a grandma at 20, here are some things you can easily relate to.

1. If you are not asleep by 9:30 you are a grouch.

I need more than 8 hours of sleep, and I will plan my schedule around my sleep schedule.

2. When you go to the club you want to sit down because your feet are killing you.

You wanna look good, but the club does not open until 12 and you wanted to be asleep at 9.

3. You make sure your friends are not doing anything too crazy while you sit down to rest (your eyes for a quick nap).

It is like you are a babysitter for really big kids.

4. You are the first one to wake up in the morning, at 6 AM after a sleepover.

Would you like for me to make you some pancakes? I will wake you up to the smell of fresh warm biscuits in the oven.

5. You always have snacks in your purse.

Gum? Chocolate? Water? Chapstick? Lipstick? Concealer? Toothpaste? Hair bow? Hairspray? Band aid? You got it.

6. Word searches excite you.

You do not play Candy Crush on your phone because you are doing crossword puzzles and word search books you got from the dollar tree. You like the book you can hold rather than having it on your phone. It takes up too much storage anyways.

7. You always have a pen in your purse in case you need to write down an important message.

8. You have to write down all your passwords.

I forget passwords too often, and writing things down is proven to help you remember things.

9. You only use Aveeno skincare products because it does not dry out your skin.

You do not buy it because of all the commercials, you buy it because it actually does work and you switch between moisturizing and extra moisturizing from winter to summer. You have a skin care routine and have no intention of changing it. Ever.

10. You call people first, and if they do not answer you text them telling them to answer the phone.

I have an iPhone, I know you read my message and did not answer my call. I am still awestruck when a potential employer or a business texts me instead of calling.

More power to you, Grandmas. I stand with you.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

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.
