11 Things You Know If You're "One Of The Guys"

GuysGirl

1. Boys don't scare you

Swooning is not something that happens. Unless it is a Jonas Brother, you will not find me nervous to talk to a guy. They're humans too.

2. They fart in front of you and on you and waft it to you. Really it's a lot of farting.

It doesn't even phase me anymore. Burp, fart, tell me about your poop. I don't care.

3. Sometimes people think you're flirting even though you're not

Okay, this quote is her actually flirting, BUT... It's exactly what it's like trying to encourage your friends.

3/3 of my supervisors think I am dating my friends. All of them think I am dating a different friend.

4. Body odor is expected

Don't ever go into their room. First of all, you will run into their weird roommate that has a crush on you. Secondly, you won't be able to breathe. Two bad things. Just don't. They are gentlemen, they come to you.

5. You can hold your own when talking about sports

Okay, I might not know the blood type of the coaches brother's girlfriend's dog, but I understand what's going on and will make fun of you if your team is losing.

*If you support the wrong team, we cannot be friends.

6. Fart jokes are funny.

Girls aren't supposed to laugh at farts but how can you get away from the jokes when you hangout with so many guys?

7. You have honest opinions.

They tell you straight if you're being a jerk, if your shirt is not cute, if you smell bad. Really, guys don't sugar coat things. You'll never be confused on what they think.

8. There's always someone to take to date events

Don't suffer through FOMO when you could go to the fancy event wearing literally whatever you want because you're going with a friend. It'll probably be more fun with friends anyway.

9. There is nothing that is off limits

You want to do a face mask? Great, everyone does one. They want you to pop that weird pimple? Ya, sure. You saw a cute guy? All of a sudden you have a relationship counselor. You have cramps? Just tell them what kind of chocolate you want.

10. You have the protective brother you need

They know about all of the guys you're interested in and will tell you what they think. If someone's joke goes too far, they will let them know. They're the brother you didn't expect to have.

11. You're a little over confident

All the times you are the only girl there to make a decision really goes to your head. Trust me, I know.

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

741

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…

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.

3116

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.
