Another Open Letter To You
Mix Cloud

Dear You,

Wow, seriously it's been awhile. When was the last time we talked?... 2015? I'm sorry I took a break for awhile, I really needed to think... and ya know, in that time I've watched you flourish.
Yea, 2016 was a really rough year, I really didn't think it was going to be! It's crazy how true the domino effect can be, how one little thing can make life spiral faster than the galaxy you are in right now. I hope you've been doing well lately, I mean, we are only 2 or so months into 2017, just look at all that you've accomplished!
You've gotten up from bed every day, you've completed your daily tasks, you've eaten, you've slept, you've learned, you've grown.You are in no way the same person that you were the last time we talked, hell I'm probably not the same either, you probably didn't even remember me, but hey, that's okay. I understand, we both saw different people, different things; we gained so much and lost so much at the same time. It's funny to think that is what has morphed into one my own biggest fears. The fear of losing... basically anything.

I think that is the key to overcoming your fears, if you give them power, and trust me! It's really hard not letting the one thing that could affect you most get the best of you. The last time we spoke I told you that I knew how much you were going through already, how much you have been through. You have so much more in store for you, and I'm so proud of you. When all the world's biggest fears come crashing in through the window, and you just want to shut everything out it can be really hard to see all the good that has happened, especially in the past two years, but you can't lose hope.

Losing hope is probably one of the scariest things to experience. It is the epitome of despair, and it can infect everything else in your life. I was there once, everything was so dark that I couldn't even breathe. I was too overwhelmed, and there was too much I buried deep inside me until the pressure was too immense, and one day I just kind of exploded.

Now, let me tell you, from that single explosion created the most powerful, beautiful, and greatest being ever, you. It brought your family, your friends, your experiences, your talents, dreams, fears, every bit of life that you know, and what a big bang that was.
Regardless, if there is anything I want you to remember from what I've learned it is this:“For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth.”

Truly forever yours,
The Universe

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…

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.
