They like to spoil you rotten, but who’s complaining?

Why Grandparents Are The Best

I think everyone can agree with that statement. Grandparents are the ones that smother you with love — so do your parents — but they might show it in a different way sometimes. I absolutely adore my grandparents. I'm 19 years old and still go sleep over at their house. Grandparents are the ones that bake your favorite cookies and give you endless kisses on the cheek. They like to spoil you rotten, but who’s complaining? Everyone should spend lots of time with their grandparents, they absolutely love it. Here’s many reasons why grandparents are the best,

1. They are always there for you.

2. They take your side when your fighting with your parents.

3. They let us watch our favorite TV shows on their TV.

4. They always make sure their grandkids have enough to eat

5. You get big, red, lipstick stains on your cheeks.

6. They love when you go sleep over.

7. They share their wisdom with you.

8. You hear the best stories from them at the dinner table.

9. It’s fun to teach them modern things (my fav…what Snapchat is and why they can’t zoom in on instagram)

10. They can spend all day with you and not get tired of you.

11. They surprise you with simple things.

12. You receive cards from them for every occasion (even Halloween)

13. They’ll cover for you no matter what.

14.They tell you embarrassing/funny stories about your parents.

15. Their pantry is always stocked with snacks.

16. They have a good grandma/grandpa smell.

17. They rarely say no.

18. They always try to make it to your extracurricular activities.

19. They take you out to eat even when there is food in the house.

20. They will always answer the phone when you call.

21. You can be yourself at their house (laying around, eating their good food, watching TV)

22. They let you stay up late and watch movies and eat ice cream

23. They’re always up for a board game.

24. They gave you your parents.

25. Their love for you is unconditional.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
