To My Low Maintenance Best Friend
Kirsten Atchinson

To my Besterest Friend-er,

First of all I want to say hey. How've you been? I know we haven't talked in a little bit, but we both know that's quite alright. I just wanted to give you a little shout out to let you know how much you mean to me.

We have been friends for quite some time. I mean, hell, we were attached at the hip in high school. We had virtually every class together and then would come home and talk on the phone for HOURS (why did we think that was a good idea, by the way? So much wasted time.) Your family became my family and I am pretty sure my brother was in love with you from the age of 2 until the age of 9. He did call you his girlfriend, after all. Then, of course, there was that summer after high school where I practically lived at your house. Your mom probably should have charged me rent.

I was terrified when we went off to college that we would drift apart and stop talking, but we didn't. Although our friendship has changed a bit over the years. I mean that in the best way possible.

You are the type of friend that I don't need to see to know that we are still cool. We have gone YEARS where we see each other once or twice (we broke the record by seeing each other 3 times this year) just because our schedules are completely opposite and I really don't head home often anymore. It always seems that no matter where we left off, we pick up right in the same spot, like nothing ever changed.

You are the first person I text when I see someone from high school doing some stupid, annoying, or ridiculous crap on Facebook. You are the first person I text when something reminds me of some stupid stunt we pulled in high school. I still vent to you about my boy problems and I most definitely consult you about all of my medical problems. You probably should have rethought being a nurse since you know how accident prone I am.

You are the type of friend that is always there. Not literally of course, but I know that if all hell is breaking loose, I can call you and you will come running. It could be 2pm or 2am. It could be sunny and warm or the middle of a snowstorm. It could be for my world ending or maybe it's just beginning. Regardless of the reason, I know that if I needed you, you would be there.

What it boils down to is that your low maintenance, no bullcrap friendship means the world to me. I couldn't imagine calling anyone else my closest friend.

Love you mucho,

Your Besterest Friend-er

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.

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…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

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.

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.
