Meet My Dog: Lori, A Terrier-Cocker Spaniel Mix

Age: 7 years

Weight: 12 pounds

Born: California

Favorite Food: French Fries and Chicken

Nickname(s): Lors/Lorz, Sexy

Person She Loves the Most: My mom, but my mom does not really like her. So, I guess you can say opposites attract

Hobbies: Sleep, sunbathe, and be indecisive about being inside or outside the house

When my little sister was in elementary school, she had always wanted a dog, but my parents were skeptical at the time. In 2011, my family and I met my dog, Lori, at a family friend's house. There were two dogs there; Sparky, a male black-coated version of Lori, and Lori. I wanted Sparky at first, but there is a reason they named him Sparky in the first place. Sparky is loud, crazy, and hyper all the time. Whereas, Lori is timid, shy, and calm.

We decided to pick Lori because of her untroubled presence. Ever since we brought Lori home, the memories were history. Lori is our family dog.

5 Cute Acts That Lori Does:

1. When sitting at the computer desk, she will jump up onto the chair and sit behind you even when there is no space to sit.

2. She sleeps in a half moon position making her look like a little croissant.

3. She looks sad all the time, but in reality, she is happy

4. She knows many tricks, such as sit, lay down, paw (both paws), stand, and roll over.

5. She is photogenic (most of the time)

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.

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.
