30 Things I'd Like To Thank My Roommate For

Without my roommate, I'd probably be dead on the side of the road somewhere. I know for sure that if I ended up with someone else, my college experience would have been completely different. I'd be missing out on so many laughs, funny memories, and late night orders of pizza fries. To my roommate, thanks for being my favorite person on campus and making even the worst days seem not so bad. Heres 30 things I'd like to thank you for:

1. Being able to make me laugh in any situation

2. Sitting in the lib with me (even though we don't ever get anything done)

3. Hating the same people as me

4. Always being down to order Chinese food, Pete's Pizza, or go to Larry's at 1 AM

5. Making bad decisions with me

6. But always making sure that I'm safe

7. Being my partner in crime

8. Taking a million pictures of me before we go out

9. Going hard with me at Campion brunch

10. Listening to me complain about boys

11. Changing me into my pajamas when I fall asleep in my formal dress

12. Putting my blanket in the dryer when I'm cold

13. Making mac and cheese for us when we're drunk and not burning the house down

14. Not judging me for how much food I can eat

15. Always having the best pre game playlist

16. Being the craziest person I know (in a good way)

17. Letting me know when my hair/makeup/outift looks bad

18. Taking me to your date party

19. Keeping guard while I pee in the bushes

20. Being the perfect duet partner

21. Instantly sending me snapchats whenever we're apart

22. Being a reliable Instagram like

23. Letting me borrow your clothes

24.Being quiet when I'm taking a nap

25. Telling me when I need to chill

26. Pouring a glass of water for me after a night out

27. Helping me eat all the chocolate from room bomb

28. For keeping me up to date on pop culture

29. Be ready to wreck any boy that messes with me

30. For being my best friend

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

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.

Don't Be That Person

Jessica Pinero

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.
