5 Things Nancy Pelosi Should Actually Be Clapping For
CNN

In This Article:

If you haven't yet heard President Trump gave a State of the Union Address and there has been a lot of talk about it.

I am not going to go into the address because there are so many other qualified individuals that have written on it and I strongly encourage you to read those articles, instead of the opinions of your relatives on your Facebook newsfeed.

What I am going to talk about though is this meme of Nancy Pelosi, our House Speaker, who begins to golf clap for President Trump as he states "reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good."


This GIF made me LOL and now I am going to use it for the common good with a list of things I wish Nancy Pelosi was clapping for.

1. U.S. Olympian Chloe Kim is the youngest woman to win the gold medal for halfpipe snowboarding at the 2018 Winter Games.

We all love the Olympic games and seeing our country play!! It is always such an exciting thing to see that not only did we take home the gold, but it also was by the youngest woman to compete in halfpipe snowboarding! Go, Chloe!!

2. Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer Prize for "DAMN."

Kendrick Lamar, a popular rap artist, released his album "DAMN" in 2018 and this album deserves every award out there! It truly is one of the most unique rap styles and profound lyrics that I have ever heard!

3. Zendaya took 300 kids from her hometown of Oakland, California to see "Black Panther."

First of all who doesn't love the talented and beautiful Zendaya, but then she just goes and does this! This is so just selfless and heartwarming to me. I am so glad that she is giving back to her community and not forgetting her roots. Also, Black Panther is an incredible film that everyone should see.

4. Every day, 200 million skittles are brought to this world.

Come on who doesn't LOVE skittles!!!

5. Someone just found $20 in their pants pockets!

Someone right now at this moment in the world just had their day flipped upside down from this incredible news!!

In conclusion, I hope this article wasn't taken too seriously and I hope you can just laugh along with me and rejoice in all of the positive things that are happening around us!

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. 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.
