5 Reasons I Do And Should Appreciate My Sister
Sam Manns

Family is one of the most important things in my life. They are the people I trust the most and who know me the best. We sometimes forget to thank them for all they do for us. I know there is one person especially in my family who I want to give a special shout out to. My wonferful sister.

5. She Always Makes Me Laugh

You constantly make jokes whether through text messages or a regular conversation. They go from simple, ridiculous "Who's there?" to complicated riddles. Sometimes, you even forget the answer which makes me laugh even more. Every time we hang out, you are always smiling to the most random things.

How your newest anime obsession is acting in a manga or the dogs chasing a squirrel in the backyard. Nothing makes you smile more than doing the things you love. When I watch you paint, it's like I'm watching something come to life. As if you're putting a little piece of yourself into each art piece made. Those smiles and jokes make me laugh every time.

4. She Knows All My Secrets

It goes without saying my sister is also my best friend. She is always there to give me a shoulder to cry on. She always listens to me vent or rant about someone who annoys me. After long school days, she asks me if I want to watch my favorite movie. I tell my sister everything because I trust her with all my secrets. The trust is returned as well. We talk to one another about the important things going on, but also the small stuff, too. She asks me how my day went and I know I can give her my honest answer. I love the trust we share.

3. She Keeps Bugging Me

All sisters can become annoying at one point or another. You, my dear sister, are no different. There are days I really want to be left alone, yet you never leave me alone. You are always there for me and keep an eye on me even when I don't know it. You are like a protector, but in disguise. I thank you for that.

2. She Related To Me

Sis, sometimes I wonder how we're are related because we are complete opposites. You're artsy and humorous; whereas, I'm analytical and calm. You're a blonde and I'm a brunette. You're tall and I'm short. How are we related? Joking. I love having you as my sister.

1. Sisters By Birth, Friends By Choice

This one speaks for itself. You are always going to be my sister no matter what. However, I get to call you my friend which is even more special.

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…

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.
