11 Times Hilary Duff Spoke Life Through Her Songs

While you are reading this, this is gonna be quite the throwback article; however, when I was thinking of an article idea, Hilary Duff came to mind.

Lately, people have been reflecting back on 2016, and whether it was good, or bad, the worst, or best year, 2017 is a new beginning. Growing up, Hilary Duff was iconic. She was who I looked to when I was a teenager. I loved her in Lizzie McGuire and all the movies she was in. And then she created music. Could life have gotten any better?

So, here I have created a list of where there are 11 times that Hilary Duff's song lyrics made us think about life a little bit deeper.

1. "If it's over, let it go"- So Yesterday

Wow, what a fitting time when we are 10 days into 2017. Let it go, folks- whatever it is.

2. "And going out is better
Then always staying in."- Come Clean

Go live life! Bowl, go to the movies, or even to a basketball game. And go with people who you wanna do life with.

3. "Hey, hey- I'm not giving up, no."- Workin' It Out

When you feel like giving up, don't. Keep fighting, keep going.

4. "Time is beginning."-Anywhere But Here

Every day is a new beginning. Make time for friends, loved ones, and those who lift you up.

5. "But I don't need the stress."- The Math

Don't stress about the little things, y'all. Stress is something that keeps you from being truly happy.

6. "Love just is... you and me."- Love Just Is

Love isn't complicated or does it have to be about someone else in the equation. It's between two people who are just in love- "whatever that may be" (Hilary Duff,) or what that looks like.

7. "Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become."-Metamorphosis

This one is about changing and becoming and I know we all have had a moment where we think about who we are, or what career we should go in, or what major we should declare, or even which path we should go on. Don't worry, y'all, you'll become that butterfly also.

8. "Find a dream you can follow."- Fly

Find it y'all and go fully towards it.

9. "And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong."- Someone's Watching Over Me

It may have been a hard year for some, or you are going through a tough time now. But take this lyric and heart from Hilary Duff and just stay strong. I know that may be hard, but know that you're not alone in this.

10. "There's something going on anywhere I go." -Wake Up

Life happens. It's happening right now. So wherever you go, or what ever you are doing and whom ever you are doing life with, life's happening. Make it great.

11. "Why not, take a crazy chance."- Why Not

The most well known song by Hilary Duff back then. Do it people. With 355 more chances this year for opportunities and chances, why not?

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. 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…

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

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3027

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.

Barn Pros

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born.
