9 Totally Awesome and Helpful Links

Have you ever aimlessly scrolled through thousands of tweets, Instagram posts, and timelines in hopes to cure your boredom? Have you ever felt sad and wanted a way to make yourself feel better (even just a little bit)? Below is a list of links -- from cat live cams to fun games, they're here to fix whatever may be the problem.


If you're bored:

Weavesilk - one of the coolest sites I have seen. Press your cursor on the empty, black space and drag. Watch electric colors dance across your screen as you draw some really cool art.

The Useless Web - a website that takes you, with a push of a button, to a random site. Try it out! Most of them are weird and useless but that's what makes it fun! (warning: some sites may play loud music/sounds, so be careful with earbuds!)


Orisinal Games - a bunch of mini-games that you can play. Click on one of the squares and it will bring you to that game!



Neon Flames - similar to Weavesilk, you can create some art. More specifically, you can create a 'nebula'. Choose the colors you want to use and click in the black, open space. Watch the blank slate turn into a galaxy.

If you're sad, stressed or just need to vent:

The Quiet Place - one of my favorites by far for when I am stressed. The Quiet Place is a project/website that plays lulling music and brings you through a series of calm dialogue. Plug in your ear buds, turn your phone's ringer off and enjoy the serene site.



The Thoughts Room - another great tool for when you are stressed or feeling down. Also brought to you by The Quiet Place Project. Very similar to the link above, yet you are able to type out your feelings and get it off your chest. Allow the beautiful night sky background whisk you into the Thoughts Room.


The Comfort Spot - if you are loving the Project from above, try this out too. Another great platform where you can vent to strangers anonymously. Sometimes having someone else there helps.


Kitty Live Cam - some of the cutest little animals you will see. Animal Planet knows what us humans need in life, and that is live-action kitties.



Puppy Live Cam - same thing as the other one, just with a different kind of animal.

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.

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…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

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.

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.
