Signs You're An Old Soul

Although you're one of few, it's what makes you you.

Signs You're An Old Soul
Blu-News

In a fast-paced, ever-changing world, it seems as though old souls are decreasing by the decade. Ever since I can remember, I've been one of these old souls. I've had several people tell me so, and I love being one—it's part of what makes me unique and interesting. No matter what age you are, you are definitely an old soul if you do any or all these things.

1. While others kids were watching Nick Jr. and Playhouse Disney, you were watching TVLand.

We're talking all the classics from the '50s to the '70s, like "Andy Griffith," "I Love Lucy," "Leave it to Beaver," "Bewitched," "The Brady Bunch," and "I Dream of Genie"—just to name a few.

2. Female figures from the past inspire you much more than female figures of today.

From Lucille Ball's bravery to Audrey Hepburn's class, you would much rather apply their motives than those of a certain famous family that starts with a K.

3. You love antiquing.

It's your favorite kind of shopping.

4. Listening to your grandparents' stories and advice is always a treat.

What they have to say is either heartfelt and meaningful, or just downright hilarious.

5. Your favorite way to listen to music is through a record player.

There's something about that crackle sound of the record that makes the music sound richer.

6. You believe that stars from back in the day had such raw, genuine talent.

Back when the term "light on your feet" really earned its meaning. And when "triple threats" were the norm. Now, it seems that the standards are much lower when it comes to what qualifies as "talent" for celebrities.

7. You prefer black and white to color.

Any black and white movie immediately catches your attention. There's something so inviting about shows and movies that were before technicolor.

8. Typewriters are your favorite writing medium.

You love that clicking sound the keys make and the ding you hear at the end of a line. And the font that they create is so charming. But, of course, us millennials, who grew up with the luxury of computers, are completely foreign to the disasters that come with typewriters.

9. Most of your celebrity crushes are no longer living.

Who wouldn't swoon over the charismatic Jimmy Stewart or the incredibly talented Gene Kelly? And don't forget Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, or Paul Newman! Of course, there were also several classic beauties that are still icons to this day such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly!

10. You wish everyone still dressed like they did in the '50s.

 

But at least we can incorporate some of their iconic looks into our outfits today!

11. You love learning different lingo and mannerisms they used back in the day.

Gee wiz, it's such a drag to gab in such stale lingo we do now.

12. Your favorite music genre is pretty much any previous decade.

I mean, both Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra had voices like silk! Plus, the lyrics and rhythms were so clever.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
