We all have been single at one time in our life, whether it was when we were younger or when we were older. We all have experienced the feeling of being alone and not having that special person to lean on when the going gets tough. But we have experienced the feeling of freedom when you are single and not have to worry about anyone but your self.

And most of us, who are lucky enough, who loves to be committed, have had experiences of being a "we" with someone.

People have argued if being in a relationship is better than being single and vice versa. Of course, they both have their pros and cons. But I personally believe that being a "we" is SO much better than "just me."

1. You have each other

Sure you have your friends, but your partner is literally there no matter what, any time of the day. They are always going to have their shoulder for you to lean on.

2. You share a bond

A bond that is unique and one of a kind. No one else can replace that bond that you two share.

3. Being a "we" in your 20s, you have someone to grow up with

Going to school, to finding your first career job, and to finding a place to live on your own — having that special someone to do that with, you are learning together and growing up together to become actual adults.

4. You face obstacles together

Life is going to throw some curve balls that is for sure, but you have each other. Nothing can stop you both.

5. You're each other support system

Enough said.

6. What is single again?

Being a "we" for so long, you forget what it is like to be single, and frankly, you love being a "we."

7. Being a "we" you're in love with your best friend

Simple as that. There is no greater love than being in love with your best friend.

8. You learn new ways of how a relationship works

Being in a relationship is never boring. There are always new ways to make a relationship work and to make it more interesting and fun.

9. With your person, you figure out who you both really are in your 20s

Not only do you figure who you really are, you figure it out together and who you are as a couple.

10. Being a "we" in your 20s, you are not pressured like you would be in your 30s

11. All of your friends are getting married in their 20s

So who are you going to take to their wedding? Of course, duh, your partner that makes your "we," we.

Being a "we" is so much better than being "just me." You have someone to do life with you starting out young which will progress into growing up together and facing every obstacle that life gives to you both. Being a "we" in your 20s gives you this amazing bond that with the person you are in love with.

Take my word for it.

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. 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.
