1. Tiny milestones.

You got up today! You had breakfast! You ran for the bus and caught it!


2. The first snow of the year.

After the initial snow and the next day of playing in it, snow turns to slush and the cold is less fun. But the initial "first" is great!


3. Melty grilled cheese sandwiches.

Or mozzarella sticks. Anything with melty cheese that you pull apart. Ahh yiss.


4. That one video that will always make you laugh.

Like the Jurassic Park theme badly played on the melodica.


5. There are people in your life who love you and care about you.

Your mom or dad, sibling, roommate, friend, or significant other. Someone out there cares about you!


6. Googly eyes put on inanimate objects.

Googly eyes make everything silly.


7. Bubble baths.

Or, if you're not a bath person, a nice, long, hot shower.


8. Dancing in your room as you clean.

You have fun and feel productive afterwords!


9. That one really photogenic cat.

Like it's so pretty and photogenic? Look at that cat go, being all beautiful and stuff! Proud of that cat.


10. Seeing someone dressed well.

Look at them dressing up! They feel good and look good! Go that person!


11. Hugs.

Or if you're not a hug person, the people who respect you and your personal space and give you a high five or a smile instead.


12. All the music you can listen to on Spotify.

There is so much of it! Songs by everyone, all kinds of music for all occasions. There are so many possibilities!


13. Art.

Someone put a lot of thought and hard work into that drawing or painting or sculpture or photograph. And what's really cool is they created something beautiful.


14. Unfilled journals.

Look at all the stories you haven't told yet, all the adventures you haven't gone on. They're just waiting to happen so that you can write them down!

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.
