I've been babysitting off and on throughout the years since I was about 14 years old and to be honest with you, I don't know why more people don't babysit. You get this amazing chance to work closely with someone else's children, and it's an amazing experience.

So, here's 13 reasons why the kids I babysit love when I come over:

1. "I like when you babysit me because you let us play outside."

Well duh, what kind of babysitter doesn't let the kids play outside? That's blasphemous.

2. "I like when you babysit me because you let us sleep downstairs."

I mean, your parents told me that y'all could so...

3. "I like when you babysit me because you let us watch movies."

I like movies too, man. Especially the ones that make you laugh when it's not even funny, because that's just super cute.

4. "I like when you babysit me because you play games with us."

I let you beat me, kids, sorry.

5. "I like when you babysit me because you let us play WrestleMania."

I let you do that because it's so funny to watch.

6. "I like when you babysit me because you cuddle with us."

I like the hugs you guys give me!

7. "I like when you babysit me because you let us sleep beside you."

Y'all never fall asleep anywhere else.

8. "I like when you babysit me because we build legos together."

Your model spaceship looks better than my one column tower...

9. "I like when you babysit me because you let us eat pizza."

Pizza is delicious, man.

10. "I like when you babysit me because you let us play Snapchat."

I don't really let you, you just take my phone and do it when I'm not in the room...

11. "I like when you babysit me because you know our favorite colors."

Your favorite color is orange and your brother's is green. I only know because you've told me 1,000 times.

12. "I like when you babysit me because you take care of us."

I'd like to think I do a pretty good job with that.

13. "I like when you babysit me because I love you."

I love you too, kid.

Babysitting is really great practice for when I decide to have a family of my own. Plus, the extra money helps me get through college without falling behind on my car payments. People pay for QUALITY child care. And eventually, you'll love the kids like your own. As I sat down with my favorite kids to listen to them tell me why they like me, my heart melted.

This is why I love what I do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
