10 Things Only Sisters Can Understand

There's no better friend than a sister, and no better sister than you.

Having a sister and being a sister is a special bond that not a lot of people can truly understand. There're days that you love each other and days that you want to rip each other's heads off. But, at the end of the day, you're pretty thankful she's around. Those who aren't a sister might wonder what it's all about and well, the truth isn't always pretty.

1. They are always blatantly honest.

"That romper really accents your flab." "Ew, he's disgusting don't talk to him." "Your smoky eye looks like a black eye."

2. They are always ready to fight someone for you, no matter who they are or what they did.

"She said WHAT to you? OMG I will slap her if she tries to come near you."

3. She always has a closet full of cute clothes for you to wear when you're too poor to buy new ones.

4. ...But she usually steals your clothes on the same day that you planned to wear them.

"WHERE ARE MY HIGH WAISTED SHORTS?! IF THEY'RE IN YOUR LAUNDRY AGAIN I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU."

5. Family events are always made more bearable by having her there.

Because she's always down to gossip about relatives or sneak off to drink some wine in the bathroom when no one's looking.

6. People are constantly amazed by how much you look alike.

Yes....we have the same mother and father....I would hope we look alike...

7. She will stalk the hell out of anybody you try to date.

"Welllllll he gets points for having a dog on his Instagram, but in that one picture from 62 weeks ago he has some ugly girl on his arm sooooo that could be a red flag."

8. She is always your built-in dance partner, shopping buddy, and dinner date.

9. Having a screaming death match one minute, but going to get your nails done together the next.

"I HATE YOU SO MUCH CAN YOU JUST LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK?"

"Hey, wanna go get lunch?"

10. You've probably told more lies for her sake than for your own.

"Oh, she's not in her bed? Hmm...weird mom I don't know where she went."

11. At the end of the day, you know you'd do anything for her, and you're stuck with her for life.

Because being a sister and having a sister is one of the best things ever!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

647

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3091

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
