Signs You're Already a Grandma

Signs You're Already a Grandma

I am 21 years old, yet I'm pretty sure I'm already a grandma 98% of the time. Here are some signs, you might be a grandma in a twenty-something's body.

1. You have a strange abundance of yarn. Whether it's accompanied by knitting needles or crochet hooks, you are skilled yarn master.

2. You are ready for bed by 8 pm and you have to force yourself to be a normal human until a more acceptable bedtime.

3. When someone says that you aren't leaving until 10, you find yourself in a bit of shock. My mouth usually drops, because that's pajama time, not drinking time.

4. You don't understand what people are saying half the time, whether that's what dab means (still not sure) or some other slang term, you just can't understand slang.

5. While you might understand technology and social media, new ones have to grow on you before you decide to download and learn how to use them.

6. You always have band-aids, snacks, and anything else you might need in your purse or backpack just in case of an emergency. Always prepared!

7. Sometimes you get referred as "mom" but that's because you are so motherly sometimes, but hey, grandmas were once moms too.

8. You have a plethora of weird sayings that no one says anymore, so when you say them, they are typically not well received or understood.

9. Whenever you go out, you always are hoping for a way to get out fast. You plan a time to leave, then try to find excuses to leave early because bed just sounds so much better.

10. When you go to a party, and actually stay, you have to help clean up. You can't let all the cups lay out and things stay in the sink. You need to help clean, what kind of person would you be if you let dirty dishes lay around?

You might be a grandma but you're still a fun time. Everyone needs a grandma their age to be there sometimes. Embrace your old soul.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
