An Open Letter to All The Women That Inspire Me Every Day

Dear every woman I know who is reading this right now,

You may not think you have that much to offer right now, but that is not true in the slightest. The fact that you came into my life and game it all the love and life it deserves is one of the biggest accomplishments that everyone deserves to feel and have. I do not know where I would be right now if it were not for all the amazing women in my life. That is a sentence I do not say lightly to anyone. When I say it, I mean it.

I grew up with some of the lowest self esteem you could imagine in a person. I never would have thought I would be able to accomplish all the things I accomplished to this day. I did not have that many people that would lift me up when I was down, and it made me feel insignificant to all my peers. Because of this, when I entered college, I did not think I was going to accomplish anything and would put myself down time after time. Everything I would do would never be good enough and I would start to believe it as time went on.

College was also the time when I met all of you. All the women that made me realize who I was and that I should not have to change myself for anyone but myself. The fact that I was able to regain my self esteem because of all the amazing women that ended up coming into my life is the biggest blessing I could ever ask for and I wish for nothing less than the absolute best that could possibly come into your lives. I know you all would wish the same thing for me.

Most people love to underestimate the difference that other women make in each other's lives. In reality, we all make a bigger difference in people's lives than most people tend to realize. Just because it does not seem like much does not mean that it is not a big difference. It is one of the biggest differences anyone could ever make in anybody's lives. I know I am super grateful for that difference you made in my life, and I know that so many other people are grateful for that difference you made in their lives too.

Having women in your life that lift you up everyday and are the reason why you are accomplishing so much is one of the biggest blessings anyone can have, and none of that should ever be taken for granted. When people start to see the impact that other women truly have on each other, more people will have more respect for other women and this world will become a much better place than it is now. Keep making a difference in many people's lives as humanly possible. They will be just as grateful for your difference as I am right now.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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.

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.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
