5 Kid-Friendly Crafts

If you're a babysitter you know the struggle. Long hours with bored kids and nothing to do, wanting to earn your money and have fun with the kids. Well never fear, here are some really fun crafts to completely erase the boredom. They may require some planning ahead, but trust me, they're well worth it.

1. Slime


All it takes is some white glue, borax and warm water, While mixing it, you can jazz it up and add glitter, food coloring, whatever you'd like. This is a big trend for kids right now, and they will positively love it.

2. Shaving cream


A fun, classic way to entertain kids. They can draw and erase whatever they want in a super (don't worry, it's easy to clean) messy way, They'll be entertained for hours.

3. Borax Crystals


Dissolve borax in boiling water in a glass container, add food coloring, suspend a pipe cleaner and boom, overnight you made your own crystals. You may not be there for the results, but the anticipation and assembly will be just as much fun.

4. Crayon drip art


You've seen the pictures on pinterest. Just hot glue crayons along the top of a canvas and melt them with a hair dryer, Super easy and fun...just watch out for hot wax.

5. Snowflakes


Anyone can make a snowflake, they're beautiful and fun to create. Kids will love them.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
