Maybe it's the idea that you like to be in bed by 9:30 and would much rather stay in then go out to a bar. Now although I might not check off yes to all of these signs, I can tell you I relate to more than half of them. Here are 10 tell-tale signs that you're a grandma living in a college students body:

1. You're In Bed By 9:30

GIPHY

I know I'm not the only one that loves to go to bed early. As a college student, most students are just starting their homework or the night in general. However, if you're a morning person like me, going to bed early is a must. And no you don't have to actually go to sleep at 9:30, but being in bed all cozy by that time is so relaxing and hands-down the best part of any day.

2. You'd Rather Stay In And Watch A Movie Than Hitting the Bar

GIPHY

This is probably one of the biggest tell-tale signs that you're a grandma living in a college student's body. I don't know about you, but I'd rather cuddle and watching a movie with my boyfriend than hitting the bar and being hungover as heck the next day.

3. You Actually Own A Pair Of Pajamas

GIPHY

Everyone wears pajamas, but having a REAL set of pajamas is a whole different story. You threw away your sweats and comfort Color T-Shirts a loong time ago, and you've entered the world of real adulthood and luxury.

4. You're The "Mom" In Your Friend Group

GIPHY

You love having fun but are the voice of reason and responsibility in your friend group. You just make sure nothing gets too out of hand.

5. Coffee And Tea Really Seem To Make And Calm Your Day

GIPHY

College students love caffeine, there's no doubt about that. But you strive for the more 'sophisticated' drinks if that makes sense. No Monsters or 5 Hour Energy's for you. A nice calming cup of tea is what you look forward to every night.

6. You Value Deep Connections And Close Friendships

GIPHY

It's no secret that college is the time to meet tons of people. However, unlike other students, you look for students that have similar interests and show loyalty and true friendship. You definitely prefer quality over quantity.

7. You Find Yourself Lost In Today's Slang

GIPHY

Slang comes in and out of modern societies dialogue. But through the numerous amount of slang that is created, you always have a hard time understanding how they're used or even why they're used. Does someone want to explain to me that if something is really good, it "slaps"? Like who's coming up with these terms?

8. You Seem To Get Along With Adults Rather Than Kids Your Age

GIPHY

Maybe it's because you're more mature or think more wisely than kids your age, but you seem to have no trouble holding a conversation with those well beyond your years. Its the sophistication and maturity that you love, especially when kids your age only talk about school, going-out and hookups,

9. You Give Advice Well Beyond Your Years

GIPHY

You seem to be the roommate, friend or classmate that most people go to for advice and life lessons. You seem to carry the wise words of wisdom that is thanked and used by many.

10. You Can't Wait To Settle Down And Have A Family

GIPHY

Let me make this very clear, there is no rush to get married or have a family especially at my age when you have the whole rest of your life. However, I seem to find joy spending time with family and spending quality times with others than going out to a bar and getting drunk. I can truly see myself having a beautiful family, and although there is no rush, the idea doesn't scare me in the slightest.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
