In This Article:

I get it, quarantine sucks, and you're tired of it. Believe me, we all are. One of the things that have come with this virus is the fact that many public places have required people to start wearing masks to go into places.

Bottom line: Masks are all the rage right now. So, here are 11 benefits that wearing them has, other than saving lives.

1. It covers adult acne

And TBH, that's been kinda nice.

2. You don't have to wear lipstick

Its been kinda nice not to have to put on lipstick to go out places or to do something formal. And as a bonus, you save money on it and other lip products.

3. You can talk to yourself quietly and no one will know.

I mean, I can't be the only one that does this or has done this.

4. Extra sun protection

Although, that might mean theres a weird tan line.

5. You can express your individual personality.

Just like with your clothing styles, a mask is another way to show off what you like.

6. People may be less likely to recognize you.

I mean I know sometimes, I don't really want to talk to people in public, and wearing a mask can cover up a lot of distinctive features a person might have.

7.  They're comfy

TBH, I don't even notice mine after a while anymore, especially while wearing working (or to class) for several hours.

8. You can chew gum (or eat) without anyone knowing

Especially when your more than likely. not supposed to be doing so.

9. You can collect them

TBH, I probably have about 10 and they're all different.

10. They have become something that you always have everywhere.

I mean I have one in my purse, several in my car, and two in my backpack.

11. They are all the rage right now

Yes, I realize most places require people to wear them, but that doesn't make them any less so.

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.

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.

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.
