I'm Salty And I'm Proud

10 Reasons why we are salty.

Feb 15, 2017

We have often struggled with the idea that being salty is seen as a negative thing. You are not meant to be a perfect person, you are meant to be a person with emotions and feelings. Here are some things we are salty about.

1. When Tall Girls Complain about being Tall

Stop complaining, you are a queen and you tower over me. I wish I was a beautiful giraffe-like you are. Wear those heals, show off those legs. At least you can wear maxi dresses.

2.) When short girls complain about being short

Yes.....we know that you're short......no, we don't care. In reality, short girls are way better anyway ;)

3. When There isn't Hot Water In The Showers

Nobody WANTS to take a cold shower. You can yammer on and on about the health benefits, I don't care. It's not fun, and it is the last thing I want, ever. Period.

4.) When the shower water is way too hot or way too cold

There is nothing that I dislike more than a bi-polar shower temperature. The shower just needs to make up its mind already!

5. When The Internet Connection is Too Good

You might be wondering why I would be salty about this, honestly it's just for pure anxiety factor alone. Why is the internet this good, the school's internet is never this good. *Saves 1,000 times*.

6.) When the internet connection is atrocious

Why internet?! Just why?! I have two papers, three online quizzes, and Netflix to watch all by class tomorrow! Can you not?! (Messiah wifi is notorious for this and it makes me so salty)

7.) When you have dirty dishes to wash

We all dread the day that we have to do dishes.....I don't think that I have met someone who enjoys them. However. they just need to be done and no one else is going to do them for you....and that just makes me so salty...

8. When All Your Dishes are Clean

Don't get me wrong, this is amazing.....and terrible. I just spent like 20 minutes washing all these dishes and now I have the audacity to need a FORK? But all this dishes are clean, I don't want to get them dirty I JUST washed them. It's like being in a museum.

9.) When teachers assign you homework on the weekends

No...just no, professor. Why do you do this to me? I just wanted to be able to sleep in and watch Netflix for the weekend! Well, I guess that's off the table.

10. When your Teacher Doesn't Assign Homework over the Weekend

Not having homework over the weekend usually means one thing...more work doing the week. Binging Netflix is a 24/7 job, I need my work spread out evenly people.

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

571

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

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…

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.

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.
