In This Article:

I've loved babies ever since I was a kid myself. Not everyone understands how it comes so naturally to me, and because of this, I've noticed that loving babies has some perks.

1. Your go-to nickname is "The Baby Whisperer"

Giphy

Taking care of babies just comes naturally to you. Some people don't understand how you can get them to smile and coo. It just happens.

2. Babysitting was your number one job as a teenager.

Giphy

You get to snuggle babies and get paid for it? That was always like free money in my book. It is something enjoyable but also has pretty decent pay.

3. You find babies wherever you go.

Giphy

Whether it's at a family gathering or church on Sunday, you always find a baby and are the first to offer to hold them.

4. Spit up and diapers don't phase you.

Giphy

You were never squeamish when it came to babies and their bodily functions. It was always something you viewed as natural, and their cuteness made up for it!

5. You're constantly urging your older siblings/cousins to have kids.

Giphy

Nieces and nephews mean getting to experience all the fun parts of having a baby without the actual responsibility. That's the dream.

6. You constantly have baby fever, but know you have to wait years before having your own kids.

Giphy

Logically, you know that college is not the right time to have babies. But they're just too cute!

7. You can't wait for the day you have children.

Giphy

And you might already have their names picked out. But that's OK, because it will be the best time of your life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
