1. Relax

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure ladies, or maybe deep condition your hair, use a face mask, take a bubble bath. Whatever relaxes you.

2. Brain Work

Flickr

Do a crossword, or a word search, read a book, or maybe get ahead on some homework that we all know you have been procrastinating on.

3. Be Productive

Flickr

Get some cleaning done! Clean your makeup brushes, your bathroom, your room or organize your closet. Go outside and clean out your vehicle!

4. Be Adventurous

Flickr

There are so many fun and cool things to do. Start your own blog, plan a party, go on a hike, visit a museum, get an idea for your next tattoo, plan your next vacation. Do a photo shoot with your friend or pets, or just start driving go some place new!

5. Do Some Meal Prep

Don't lie: everyone hates the question "what's for dinner?" So plan a few meals in advance. Plan to go out to dinner or search and try out a few new recipes.

6. Get Fit

One thing that always makes you feel better is some good exercise. It doesn't have to be a lot, do some yoga, a few sit-ups. You can do anything really!

7. Try Something New

Flickr

What's something you have never done or have always wanted to do? Find a place you could spend some free time volunteering at or look for another job if needed. Start some DIY projects that could turn into a profit.

8. Set Goals

Flickr

It's never too late to dream. Take some time to write down your goals or even what you want out of life the most. Maybe where you are going next. Set your goals and aim high - surprise yourself and get there!

9. Party!

Flickr

Whether you're home alone, with your dog, with your family, or some friends: find some alcohol (or no alcohol who cares about your choice.) Get that perfect playlist out and crank that sh** and dance, sing, or scream. Have some fun!

10. Last, but not least...take a nap.

TAKE A NAP. SLEEP HELPS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

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

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.

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.

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.
