There are many things in life that we truly love and appreciate. For some of us, it’s that first cup of coffee in the morning. Others look forward to the time they get to spend in the gym, working out, and getting their cardio on. Some of us enjoy a nice, homecooked meal. And, then, there are those that look forward to the weekend and that first happy hour drink.
There are tons of things in life that we live for and things that keep us going. However, for everyone, it’s different.
When we’re in our youth, many of us love to party and have fun.
In our 20s, many of us credit our fun to partying and going out drinking with friends. We all enjoy going to happy hour or grabbing dinner out on the town. And, by the end of the night, we’re back home eating a greasy piece of pizza, soaking up that alcohol.
As we get older, some of our “loves” change.
As we get older, some of us stop drinking as much and start eating a little cleaner, too. We don’t drink as often with friends as we used to, and many of us are watching what we’re eating every day. Long gone are the nights where we go out until late and come home eating greasy, oily pizza.
However, there are those who know a good thing when they see it.
While getting older, for some, means getting healthy, there are those who know that life is short and we should just enjoy what we love while we can. After you get to a certain age, it’s as though you are reversing your life. You go back to enjoying things you did when you were younger instead.
Recently, one woman is proving that the older you get, the more you do whatever you want.
Lily Bullen of Worcestershire, England has proven to us all that the older you get, the more your life goes back to those days of your early 20s. According to the Mirror , the great-grandmother who just turned 102 has a few priorities in her life, and they are not what you would expect.

Bullen has the heart and the spunk of a teenager in college.
Speaking to the media outlet, Bullen says she has gotten to her great age of 102 by enjoying the things in life that she loves the most. These things happen to sound like a college student living in a dorm: Mexican liquor, Domino’s pizza, and Greggs sausage rolls.
And, Bullen’s family can vouge for her partying ways.
If you needed any proof of this great-grandmother’s fun ways, her family is sharing it all.
Bullen’s 40-year-old granddaughter Holly West shared, “She had a surprise birthday party for her 100th birthday, where she did a tequila shot, she also did a Jägerbomb and tequila shot at our wedding in 2013.”
While she does love to drink and eat pizza, Bullen also has other loves and passions in life.
While Bullen brags about loving her partying ways, she does have a lot of other things in her life that takes up her heart and her time. Being a great-grandmother is something that she takes a lot of pride in, as she has four great-grandchildren.
Her granddaughter says she “lives” for her family.
West told The Mirror that Bullen lives for spending time with her family.
“Her favorite pastime when she can is to watch her great-grandchildren play,” she said. And, what great-grandmother wouldn’t want to soak in all of the time she has with those closest to her?
Along with her family, Bullen also still has a spice for life.
When she is not drinking tequila and playing with her great-grandchildren, Bullen is out there proving that you are never too old to try to learn something new. West shares that her grandmother loves trying new things, even though she has lived a very full life.
“At the age of 99 the home took Nan ice skating for the first time in her life,” West said.
Bullen says if one thing in life it’s true, it’s that tomorrow is never promised.
The reason she loves her alcohol and pizza? Well, it’s simple. Bullen shared that she wants to do all the things she loves because “tomorrow is never promised.” She even points out that the world around us has shown that to be true, you never know what is coming around the corner.
