10 things I learned from my Granny

In This Article:

If you have met my Granny, you know she is simply an amazing person. Whether she is hosting teenage girls at her house (the best girls trip place is her farm) or driving hours to be at a piano recital for one of her grandkids, Granny is the best.

I wanted to share a few things I have learned from her, because she is so wise and a certified genius.

1. How to grow a reallll good tomato

Granny is a master of gardening. She is humble about it, but secretly has the recipe for success on gardening.

2. How to bake the perfect shortcake

Giphy

Strawberry shortcake? Peach shortcake? You name the kind of shortcake and Granny knows how to cook up the perfect shortcake for every occasion.

3. How to speak Italian, French, English, Latin...

Granny loves languages. She speaks just about every language (I think...)! If she does not know the language, she will just Rosetta Stone it and get back to you!

4. How to be proper

Giphy

"Stomach in, chest out!" I have heard that quote about 100 times in the past three years. I love it. I think about it when I walk or present myself. Granny truly is royalty deep down.

5. How to negotiate

If Granny really wants something, she will go on a long rant about how badly she needs it in a really sweet tone of voice you cannot say no to. I love that and want to learn how to do it just like her!

6. How to sit still

Ok... maybe I have not learned this yet, but the morning coffee hours sure are teaching me how to (slowly).

7. How to drive a truck

I still may not be the best at it, but Granny taught me how to drive her Ford F150 and that is a lot of trust that she had in me!

8. How to make the most of a trip

She took me to Italy. She made it the best week of my life. She knows how to travel!

9. How to fake nice

Granny is amazing at acting superrrr nice even though she may not like you. She does the funniest voice with this forced smile... I love it!

10. How to love others well

Granny has been there for me in everything. She is my rock. She knows me and loves me despite my flaws. Granny is the best of the best.

Get you a grandma like Granny and you will be the happiest granddaughter in the world. Or if you are not as lucky as I am, at least get you a Granny half as amazing.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
