How To Date Yourself

"Treat yo self."

How To Date Yourself

The "love yourself" campaigns are making a huge impact on society, especially for women. For the first time in years, it is okay to be a plus size and model, and it is acceptable to wear what you want without being shamed. As hard as it might be to love yourself and accept your flaws, it is essential to any relationship. As well as putting yourself first, making sure that you are rested, hydrated and happy can reshape your relationship with yourself. So I have come to the conclusion that dating yourself is a priority. It might feel weird and conceited at first, but once you are used to being alone, solitude seems so sweet.

1. Take yourself on dates

I remember a time when eating alone was embarrassing but it's so nice to sit down, relax and not be forced into an awkward conversation with anyone. You can apologetically scroll through Pinterest and offend no one.

2. Treat yo self

Everyone knows that couples in relationships buy each other gifts. So, do that for yourself.

If something amazing comes your way, be open to it. Don't sell yourself short, but don't be desperate either. If it doesn't work out, you always have yourself to lean on.

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.

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…
