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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
