The Truth Is Out

I am an old lady trapped in a young adult's body.

While most say that they are a "kid trapped in an adult's body," I am the complete opposite. So, here are the reasons why I am actually an old lady trapped in the body of a twenty-one-year-old.

1.

It is common for my bones to make noises when I move and I am often visiting the chiropractor to get my hip put back into place.

2.

Since I see a chiropractor often, I also ice my entire body for my weak bones and inflamed muscles. P.S. I hate the cold so this is always a fun time.

3.

I go to bed early, like I am usually in bed by 10. If I had it my way I would probably be asleep around 9. #noshame

4.

When the weekend comes around, you won't find me at parties or sleeping late in the afternoon. I will be watching movie marathons on tv, running errands, or getting things done around my dorm or house.

5.

I complain a lot. Often about "kids these days" with all of their shenanigans.

6.

I would rather spend time and talk with my dog than actual people. And yes, I talk to my dog who probably thinks I am crazy.

7.

Vines, memes, movie references, and "modern" terms? Yeah, count me out for those because I have no clue what you are talking about.

8.

If you want to talk to me, be prepared to repeat things multiple times because I cannot hear you to save my life.

9.

I eat dinner early, and if I don't I am super cranky. Now 2:30 is a little extreme, but do not be surprised if you see me in the cafeteria at 4:30/5 every day.

10.

I am always the mom in my friend group, and I mean ALWAYS. However, I don't mind. I guess as I get older I will become the grandma of the friend group.

11.


Lastly, DO NOT get me started on these gas prices.
