Yes, I'm A Millennial Grandma
theplaidzebra.com

My whole life I have always been told that I am an old soul. From the music I listen to, the clothes I wear and my mothering of others I completely agree with that label. I like to have things neat and color coded. If I see someone else's work who is not I feel the urge to organize it myself. So many times friends have told me about their crazy weekends or past crazy moments and I find myself responding with an "are you crazy, that really could have ended badly!" or "what would your mother say?" It is just who I am, a grandma for life. Are you a young-old person too?

1. If you want it, I have it.

If you want a peppermint or cough drop, I have it. Tissues or germ-X, I have that too. Whatever you want chances are I have it my purse. That is also why my purse is the size of a suitcase.

2. I am always cold. No, really.

No matter where I am I am in a sweater. As I am writing this I am wearing a sweater and slippers and it is currently 92 degrees. Most of the time I don't even turn the air on in my car.

3. If you gave something to me, chances are I still have it.

I may not know where it is but i guarantee you that I have it, Including birthday cards.

4. If you seem sad or angry, I assume it is because you're hungry.

In which I then hand you a gingerbread cookie, which I keep in my purse.

5. My biggest celebrity crush is Cary Grant.

The picture says it all!

6. I have "old lady" perfume.

I love it. My meme uses Chantilly and I LOVE the smell


7. I know how to crotchet.

If you ask me nicely, I will probably crochet you a sweater.


8. I am the "mom" friend.

I am the friend who tells you what you do not want to hear. I will tell you that boy is no good, and is trouble. If you want a "mom" opinion and yours can't be reached, I am your girl.

9. Frank Sinatra is my life.

"Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away" It's my ringtone and favorite song. I can listen to mr. Sinatra all day everyday. It is my happy place.


10. I watch the news every morning and every night.

I start my mornings with the news and end it that way. I like staying informed. i like to know exactly what is happening within the world at all times.

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.
