I've worked with kids most of my life as an aspiring teacher, but that has heavily increased over the last two years through my job at a preschool/daycare and partnership program. If you haven't worked with kids, not only are you missing out, but you fail to recognize that kids are really just tiny comical drama queens.

1. "Come on Elsa! Get it together!"

Dress up is intense y'all.

2. "Ms. Emily I want to play with that car that ____ has." 

Of course, this is after I've explained six different times that day that they have to wait and take turns.

3. "I have to poop." 

Depending on the age of the child, this simple sentence can go one way or the other in a matter of seconds.

4. "They cut off all my baby hairs."

A recent favorite from a three year old I work with who got her first hair cut over the holidays.

5. "You're in trouble_____!" 

Even though the child is already sitting down with a teacher being talked to.

6. "_____ said a potty word!" 

I can't be the only one expecting it to be way more serious than butt or poop.

7. "I want to listen now." 

and

8. "But I want to now." 

Again, this isn't your first rodeo.

9. "It wasn't an accident."

Just because Jimmy's ball landed near your feet and bounced up at your face does not mean he is out to kill you. Relax.

10. "I didn't say nothing." 

Even though they said exactly what they shouldn't have and they know it.

11. "I want to go home and take a nap." 

Really? Because you've been at school for barely 60 minutes and we haven't done anything yet.

12. "Why are you wearing that?" 

...because I wear this ring/watch daily.

13. "Can I try?" 

No, I'd rather pour the heavy pitcher of ice cold water myself instead of clean it up off the floor in five minutes.

14. "Ms. Emily, I need some ranch!"

I really don't think children know how to eat anything without ranch dressing to dip it in.

15. "Why do I have to take a nap?"

There are hundreds of reasons, which one would you like?

16. "I don't like ______."

But you ate it last week...

Working with kids is a very rewarding experience and one I wouldn't trade for the world. The little comedians I spend my time with make for an interesting time any day of the week. The cuddles and love are also a plus, of course.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
