50 Shades Of Purple: Brian Kelly's Facial Hues

www.buzzfeed.com

Brian Kelly is an amazing football coach who's led Notre Dame's Fighting Irish to victory countless times.

Brian Kelly is also a very famous football coach, with over 130,000 people following his verified Twitter account.

While Kelly is definitely famous for his coaching skills, let's not forget his other claim to fame: a face that often resembles an eggplant.

While I am not an insider, it is rumored that Coach Kelly may be responsible for the band Maroon 5's name.

I, for one, am impressed by the different shades Kelly's face is able to display. They are diverse. SO diverse.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

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. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

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. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3106

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

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.
