Traits You Have When You're 19 Going On 79

As much as we try to fight it, some of us just have old souls at a very early age. If you’re one of the lucky, easily satisfied few, here are some characteristics about you.

1. You know how to cook.

Not only do you know, but you love it. For nearly any social gathering, you’ll offer to make something just because. More so than just popping things in the microwave or oven, you can read off of recipes and maybe even measure out a few ingredients.

2. You know how to sew.

Nothing too major, but it’s no problem for you to repair a hole or rip in anything.

3. You own an iron.

Because you hate wrinkles and love looking presentable.

4. You have no problem saying no to going out.

When you’ve had a long day of work, class or you just don’t feel like leaving the house at 10 p.m., you have absolutely no problem resting with a good book and cup of tea. You’re pretty shameless about it, really.

5. You love a good movie.

Really and truly, a movie night with good company is an ideal night.

6. You like to sleep.

Not the kind of sleep where you stay up late and sleep until noon sleep, but balanced sleep. You’re in bed by a decent hour and up by a decent hour too, most likely before anyone else on both ends.

7. You keep a schedule.

A little spontaneity never killed anybody, but you have to be reminded of that because you're a creature of habit. You really like knowing what your day looks like so you can prepare for it, and you're not really one to “go with the flow.”

8. You appreciate the little things.

The little things such as a nice breeze, running into someone that you didn't expect to see or some really good music mean more to you than most people.

9. You love things that most people have never heard of.

Speaking of that good music and those books, they’re either from time periods no one pays much attention to or from a really unpopular source. You can talk about your fascination all you want while your friends will smile and nod, but few people will actually know what you’re talking a bout.

10. You’re a traditionalist.

You can go along with significant changes to society, but you have core values that are at the heart of why you are. With this, it’s still the little things: lack of phone usage, boys coming up to your door for a date and spending quality time with people.

11. Your sense of humor isn't the best.

Well, other people don't think it is. You think it’s great that you're amused by a corny joke, street sign or commercial. Honestly, the cheesier the better.

12. You’re good at keeping up with people.

Not only that, but you love it. You really value relationships and know how to put effort into them.

13. You’re smart about money.

You just don't see the value in blowing it off, your money is cherished because you know how it’s earned.

14. You’re technologically impaired.

You know a solid half of what people your age know about how to use anything electronic, and you really don't care to learn unless you have to. God bless your friends, because they’re always explaining things to you, making fun of you minimally.

15. Peer pressure has never applied to you.

Above all else, you’re completely content doing your own thing and you don't feel like you’re missing out on any new trend that you just don’t understand or want to be a part of. You know how to make your life exactly what you want it to be, and you’re unashamedly you.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
