11 Things You Understand If You Live With Sisters

So. Many. Girls.

11 Things You Understand If You Live With Sisters
Resources1

In a house full of girls, there is just so much damn estrogen, so many freakin' bras and not to mention all of these things listed below that are just the norm when you live with sisters.

1. So. Much. Hair.

It’s in the drain and on the shower wall, in the car and all over the brushes. It’s everywhere and it's gross. You genuinely fear something could be lost in the clump.

2. A crowded shower.

It looks like the cosmetics aisle in the supermarket with seven face washes, eight razors, 10 shampoos and 12 conditioners. And there's always some tone-deaf singing happening, too.

3. The subtweets are so real.

Except they are never on Twitter. Sisters are vicious. They will make comments right at the dinner table about that piercing you got your parents don't know about.

4. "OMG are you guys triplets?"

No, you idiot, there are actually seven years between us. Try again.

5. Borrows clothes without asking is basically WWIII.

God save us all.

6. The stench of flats.

You can't leave those things anywhere. They can take down a small army in the middle of the winter. But in July, they could easily put to rest a small country with one whiff.

7. The value of self defense.

Girls can be b*itches.

8. The art of scheming.

Whether it is scheming against each other, against your parents or anyone for that matter. Everything requires an elaborate plan with 14 backups, even if it's a run to the store.

9. The nail polish bin.

The concept of owning "your own" nail polish is just about as foreign as the concept of doing your own nails.

10. Braiding.

Side braid, waterfall braids, pig tail braids, headband braids. You name it and we can do them flawlessly after years and probably some tears later.

11. The high presence of bras.

When girls run the house (and the world), it is more than common to be greeted in just a bra and hopefully some pants. If they aren't in the bra, you can probably still see it somewhere. There is an extreme lack of modesty.

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.

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…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

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.

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.
