Being young is hard and confusing. Now for all you Grannies out there trying to be as hip as your grandchildren, I'm here to show you how!

An important aspect of being young is the internet. Young people love spending exorbitant amounts of time on the internet. In fact wasting time on the internet is a fine art that needs to be mastered, has been refined and revolutionized in less than a decade, thanks to Gen Y, and is a great determinant to how young-at-heart you truly are. If you find yourself constantly leaning towards bingo or bridge rather than the internet (we get it, the internet is a vast landscape; I'll help you navigate), below are a few websites that are prime starting points:

1. Facebook. Your number-one resource to stalking every friend and acquaintance you've ever had. Also to embarrass your grandchildren and children (who are already embarrassing your grandchildren for you).

2. Twitter. Who needs the news when you can just catch up by reading one-sentence updates from the Kardashians? So efficient!

3. Instagram. Take pictures of your food, yourself, sunsets, candid laughing group shots, or mundane items arranged in an artsy fashion, totally change the color scheme, and post! Be sure to add as many hashtags as you possibly can. The more, the merrier! Never ever like someone else's post from more than three months ago...just no.

4. Snapchat. Show your friends your impressive double chin. Screenshotting is a necessary skill. If you miss 10 seconds, you miss a cherished memory, how dare you.

5. Vine. Basically Snapchat for video.

6. Tumblr. The best part about Tumblr is that you can have pretty things, without actually buying it. Sure it's all virtual, but at least you can have beautiful photos on your pretty wall and be proud of yourself for having such good taste, even if you're poor! There is absolutely no longer any need for fancy clothes or fancy furniture from your hard-earned retirement money when you can simply express who you are solely through Tumblr!

7. Youtube. A virtual zoo for those who can't afford to pet animals in person.

8. Netflix. An opportune moment to sit and literally do nothing but stare at the screen for several hours without ever lifting a finger! May I suggest How I Met Your Mother, definitely the most legen-wait for it-dary show of all time! Bet you it's better than The Brady Bunch or whatever you watched back then.

9. Buzzfeed. aka Gif-land. A collection of posts relating to and elaborating over every mundane aspect of life such as “10 Things Everyone Who Has Ever Opened a Water Bottle Understands”, quizzes comparing you to inanimate objects, and intellectual feminist articles.

10. Pinterest. Like Tumblr, you can plan your future wedding and cultivate your inner middle-aged self.

11. Tindr. This app will magically boost your self-esteem, especially about your outer appearance. Wrinkle creams no more, it's all about confidence amiright?

12. Thought Catalogue. More feminist articles and articles bitching about how difficult it is to date the opposite gender or being fat/skinny. A catalogue of thoughts aka brain vomit.

13. Reddit. You read posts. Have you read it?

14. Linkedin. Spy on your colleagues to see how successful they are.

15. Spotify/Pandora. Because who has money to pay for music anyway? We'd rather listen to ads.

16. Porn. People without clothes touching each other. No shame, welcome to the 21st century!

17. The Onion. “America's Finest News Source.” For articles like this post right here. Same genre, but better articles. Totally real news (see #2).

Good luck baby boomers!

That is all. The Blogger
