15 Things You Can Relate To If You've Ever Been A Nanny
Emily Schroeder

1. You always have a snack of some kind with you.

Are they for the kids or are they for you...

2. There's always a booster seat of some sort in your back seat.

You kinda laugh when your friends get in cause someone is either going to have to sit in in or move it.

3. Finding random legos or fast food meal toys in your purse or car regularly.

Or trash, or action figures, or

4. You've accepted the fact that every move you make is questioned by a small human.

You can't even chew with your mouth closed and you're trying to tell me I should clean my car. HAHA ok

5. Going to the pool is just as fun for you as it is for the kids.

Time to relax AND the kiddo gets out all their energy.

6. Being called a babysitter is the most annoying misconception there is.

"Oh you're over 20 and you babysit a lot" NO NO NO. no.

7. Or when people try to tell you your job isn't REALLY a job.

Ummm excuse you?

8. NOTHING beats when a tiny human calls you beautiful.

UGH my heart.

9. You know way too much about current kids cartoons

No seriously, Paw Patrol? That's a good show.

10. You find yourself relating to an unusual amount of Facebook parent videos.

# relatable

11. You've mastered the art of whipping up mac n cheese.

When you have a hungry mini human and not a lot of time mac n cheese is where it's at.

12. Using the phrase "Sorry I haven't had an adult conversation yet today."

Trust me, having an intelligent conversation is highly underrated.

13. If you hear silence lasting longer than 15 seconds you start to get worried.

..ooohhhhh no

14. You're pretty sure whoever came up with the question "why" should be slapped.

Because at a certain point things just can't be explained!

15. You have awkward moments where you continue to realize one of your best friend's is an 8 year old.

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.

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.
