When you're running late for class

Giphy

Remember when you decided on those extra 30 minutes of sleep?

When it's the first rainy day of the year

Giphy

What? You expect me to walk and risk slipping or stepping in a puddle in these new shoes?

When it's over 100 degrees out

Giphy

The last thing you want to do in this weather is walk all the way across campus.

When you decide to wear those heels

Giphy

You knew you couldn't walk in those shoes, yet you chose to wear them anyways. Now you're paying the consequences, literally.

When you accidentally stay out till 2:30 in the morning

Giphy

When you decide to take a quick grocery store trip...

Giphy

and it turns into stocking up for the entire month

When you enroll in an 8am class

Giphy

The only thing worse than having an 8am, is waking up for your 8am and giving yourself enough time to walk to class.

When you miss the last train

Giphy

You really have no other option at this point.

When you get lost in a foreign country

Giphy

You told yourself you'd take public transportation, but next thing you know you're lost and confused and Uber can pinpoint your location.

When you realize you forgot your computer at your apartment

Giphy

You told yourself you would just walk back and make it to class in time, but you know you won't.

When you want to go home from the bar down the street

Giphy

Yes, your Uber driver is probably internally making fun of you for your 0.2 mile trip.

When you wore that outfit you knew you couldn't walk in

Giphy

You thought that you could walk to your destination, but you couldn't make it five feet.

The networking event on campus

Giphy

You know, the one you almost forgot about.

When you said you'd jog to the gym

Giphy

You're going to work out anyways and that's good enough, right?

When you decide to go to your friend's place who lives across campus

Giphy

Why waste time walking across campus when Uber can get you there in under 10 minutes

When you need to get to recruitment

Giphy

You spent longer than you thought getting ready and now you're running late. On the plus side, your makeup won't be melting off.

When you promised to be the DD

Giphy

Oops? Thank God for Uber right?

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.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

628

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.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

Bowling Green State University

thoughtcatalog.com

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…

11 Things You Should Never Say To A Puerto Rican

Don't Be That Person

Bowling Green State University

11673

Jessica Pinero

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.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3088

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.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

1. You know you are up next when the teacher pauses while taking attendance

2. When “I’m going to do my very best to make sure I know all your names” is said, it may or may be an empty promise

3. “Wow! That sounds so cool! Where is your family from?”

4. You dread when people ask you to repeat your name over and over because it “sounds so cool when you say it”

5. There’s a 50/50 chance that your name will come back either correct or incorrect at Starbucks

6. People try to find shorter, easier nicknames for you instead of calling you by your actual name

7. When someone famous or fictional character shares your name, you get so happy

8. “What’s your name?” “It’s [name]” “I’m sorry, what was it again?”

9. You’ve pretty much seen every misspelling and heard every mispronunciation of your name throughout your life

10. When you find another person with an “ethnic” sounding name, you both get excited

11. Despite the struggles, your name is pretty unique… just like you

Can I be excused for the rest of my life?

Don't Be That Person

2. “Is Puerto Rico near Mexico?”

3. “Do you speak Puerto Rican?”

4. “You look too light/dark to be Puerto Rican.”

8. “So does your family know English?”

9. “Oh my god, Puerto Ricans are so spicy.”

10. “So did you eat a lot of tacos?”
