The Magic Tree House Goes To College

Remember the fun of reading a new Magic Treehouse book? Author Mary Pope Osborne has created 55 books in the beloved series. A few of my go-to books as a kid were Midnight on the Moon and Tonight on the Tintanic. Well, good news! Your favorite adventurous siblings, Jack and Annie, are back! But by now, they're old enough to be in college. Here are the newest additions to the Magic Treehouse book series:

"Crying in the Cafeteria"

As Annie learns that college is stressful, Jack stumbles upon her as she is in tears at their campus cafeteria.

"Sleeping in the Stacks"

As finals are approaching, Annie and Jack realize it will give them more time to study if they sleep in the library rather than walking back to their respective dorms at 4 in the morning.

"Procrastination as a Pastime"

Loaded with assignments, both Jack and Annie learn the dangerous habit of watching Netflix instead of doing their homework.

"Laundry at Lunchtime"

A busy day for Annie and Jack leaves only lunchtime to do their laundry.

" Taco Bell on Tuesday"

Jack and Annie discover the immense power of a Crunchwrap at 1 AM.

“(Amazon) Prime after Nine”

After Jack and Annie buy an Amazon Prime membership, things get out of hand when they read that two-day shipping is free.

“Broke before Bedtime”

Jack and Annie find out how quickly money can be spent buying things from Taco Bell and Amazon.

“Thankful for Thursday”

Jack and Annie used to think that Friday and Saturday were the best nights to go out with friends and have fun. College has introduced them to the official start of the weekend: Thursday night.

"Tremendous Tons of T-Shirts"

After their first semester of college, Jack and Annie reminisce on the fact that their university has provided them with tons and tons of free t-shirts.

"Sinus Infections in the Springtime"

As their second semester rolls around and they arrive back to campus after Christmas break, Jack and Annie immediately get sinus infections after jumping back into the large pool of college germs.

"Energy Drinks in the Early Morning"

As finals approach, Jack and Annie take to energy drinks to get some extra energy to study.

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.
