Every once in awhile I get asked, what are your biggest pet peeves? And when you put me on the spot, I suddenly have nothing which is mind blowing since the littlest things usually drive me crazy. I like common sense and people who have it. If you don’t, then we probably have a problem. But that’s a completely different story.

Anyways, I’ve started to jot down my pet peeves in my Notes as I realize them. I do it just in case I ever get famous and am asked about them, I’ll have my answer ready to go.

1. When people blow their nose in public

For example, in the middle of class. You can’t go to the bathroom or into the hall to be gross? Where are your manners?

2. Before & After collages in the wrong order

Its supposed to go before on the left then after on the right. Not the other way around. That doesn’t even look right.

3. Being spoken to like I’m dumb

Have you ever asked a legitimate question and you get responded to with attitude? Like don't talk to me like I'm dumb, I am not a baby.

4. When people don’t have proper manners


If I take time out of my day to bless you after you sneeze or hold the door open for you and you don’t thank me, we’ll have a problem forever.

5. When I don’t get blessed

Did you not just hear me sneeze? Bless me.

6. People who don’t have common courtesy.

When you’re getting off the train/bus and the person waiting at the stop doesn’t wait for you to get off first. I come off the train first then you can get on.

7. When people chew with their mouth open or smack their food

8. Being childish.

Remember in third grade when you wore your cool new shoes to school, someone noticed and asked “oh are those new?” Then they purposely stepped on them after you said yes? Yeah , that really grinned my gears as an eight year old.

9. Using the wrong terms for social media.

It is not “follow me on snapchat” or “add me on twitter.” It’s ADD me on snapchat and follow my twitter. It’s not even that hard? Just get it right.

10. When fake eyelashes aren't applied properly

I see that little corner that’s not sticking and it is driving me crazy.

11. When people sneeze and don’t cover.

NOW YOUR NASTY GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE. ARE YOU KIDDING?!

12. When my door gets left open

I know you did not find my door open, close it when you leave.

13. Lying parents

Why are you telling me the food is done but when I come to the table it’s nowhere near done? I can’t even trust my own mother.

14. When you’re arguing with someone & all of a sudden they're literate

Oh, now you know how to use punctuation and the proper you’re? Where was all this enthusiasm when you almost failed tenth grade English? That still doesn’t make your argument valid.

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. 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.
