Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

College bound? Yes. Where? When? What school? What are you going to major in? All of these are decisions, BIG decisions.

As a senior in high school, I am at the point where it is time to make decisions. Big decisions, such as where I want to go to college, what I want to major in, and what I want to do in life. It all seems so scary and intimidating at first. I am so fortunate that I have been accepted into my dream college Oklahoma City University. That right there is a BIG step for me. There are many other schools I need to look at for options, which is what I am currently doing. Let me just say, getting accepted into a school is a wonderful feeling!

As a student who wants to major in Musical Theatre or Vocal Performance, I have to go through auditions. This is a whole other process I have to go through. For me, it wasn't difficult to find out what I want to major in. Performing has been something I've been in love with since I was a toddler. I can't get enough of it, and I know that it is what I want to study in college so I can learn more about my craft. Sometimes it is hard for a student to find a major that suits them. Personally, I don't know what that feels like but I am sure it is hard and frustrating. Every school has something though, so if that is you who is struggling, I promise you will find a major.

Back to making decisions... I can't stress it enough how hard it is (for me at least) to decide how far you want or don't want to be from home, what college is right for you, what you want to do after college, and so on. Honestly, I am quite overwhelmed and feel stuck a lot but I know I just need to trust in God because He has a plan for me. It will all work out, and doors are beginning to open for me. I guess what I am trying to say is don't worry about the future. I am excited and anxious for this new chapter in my life. I think it is pretty normal to feel that way. Right?

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.

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

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

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.

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.
