There's always that one friend in the group that's the glue that holds everyone together. Literally. They're the ones that are making sure everyone is safe and taken care of, and put together - and pulling them back together when they're not. When you are that friend, it comes with it's fair share of struggles.


1. People have higher expectations for you




2. Everyone depends on you all the time



3. Everyone expects you to always have the answers




4. It’s really hard to tell your friends "no", and even harder for them to accept it


5. Everyone always asks to borrow things


6. You’re always feeding everyone and cleaning up after them




7. You’re the shoulder to cry on




8. With your friends you have to be prepared for literally anything when leave your house




9. You’re expected to be the D.D. whenever necessary




10. You have to stay a little more together when drinking




11. You’re the one that takes control in emergency situations



12. You’re constantly apologizing for your friend’s behavior


13. Which means, you’ve learned to be really good at talking you and your friends out of sticky situations



14. You're always the one taking care of people that are tooooo drunk



15. You can’t not give a shit




16. Sometimes you’re envious of your friend’s carefree attitudes



17. You hate feeling like the mom friend – but you sooo are




18. Sometimes you just want to like chill and not have it all together, but then you take it too far



19. Which leads to: No one knows how to handle you when you lose your shit





But that's okay, because you can always handle your own shit, right?

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…

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.
