There is a secret society of students that are among us at Ohio University. They are hard to discover, but when you do, the signs become obvious. I am, of course, talking about the students whose raging preferences look more like a 61-year-old's rather than a 21-year-old's. I am proudly among these students. Often, these students blend in with average students, but there is one time where #GrandmaStatus is more obvious than ever before — going out. There are five specific signs to look for to determine if you are, in fact, a grandma at heart.
1. You always want to go out (and come home) earlier than everyone else.
Going out at 11 p.m.? LOL. That's not going to happen unless you spend the day pumping your veins full of coffee and Red Bull. Not to mention, Fest Season is your favorite time of year because it's the only time your friends are okay with going home before 2 a.m.
2. Bed > Bars
Nothing makes you happier than ending the night with all your belongings and your No. 1 BAE — your bed. The comfort of your bed always trumps sticky floors and bathrooms without toilet paper.
3. Your going out clothes are comfortable.
The only thing you appreciate more than a girl who can rock wedges and a strapless bra is your own pair of jeans and converse. Bless those who can make it through the night looking #flawless, but you're just proud of yourself for making it out in the first place.
4. Your favorite part of going out is getting food.
Let be honest, whether it's popcorn from the Stal or Wings Over on the walk home, the food selection for your night out trumps any happy hour special there is, or ever will be.
5. You're always budgeting.
Getting a little liquid courage in your veins does nothing to stop you from sticking to your night-out budget. You search the happy hour boards for the best deal and make sure you don't cut into you drunk-food cash. You're only wish in life is that bar coupons existed...
