"Then I'll forgive, I won't have to forget all the good things about you." - In A Songby Hunter Hayes

Hey old friend, it's me, someone you used to know. It's so strange to me, how we don't even know each other anymore. At least, not the way we used to. Now the only knowledge of each other we have is the superficial things we post online.

I hate the way our friendship ended. It was sad, dramatic, and we both got hurt. Neither of us gave the other the respect we both deserved. We said things that we couldn't take back, and nobody was benefiting from the way we were treating each other. We stopped being friends long before the final blow hit us.

I know it was for the best, that we were better off walking away fro each other. But sometimes I miss it. Sometimes I'll be scrolling through Facebook or Twitter and see something that we used to laugh about and I think about sending it to you. But I don't. It's been too long. I can't even remember our last conversation.

I miss you. I miss laughing with you. I miss our endless inside jokes that were the product of the many years of friendship we shared. We were a blast in a glass. I miss having you around. You are so positive, a people pleaser, with a strong mind and a true heart of gold.

I thought you would be one of my forever friends. We were supposed to have those long FaceTime calls from our dorm rooms on distant campuses. We were supposed to be at each other's weddings. Then our kids were going to be friends and make as many happy, silly memories as we did.

I guess that just wasn't in the stars for us. It's been hard, but I've accepted it. The universe is an unpredictable and mysterious force. If our paths are meant to cross again, I have faith that they will. Until then, I can only hope to God that you're doing alright, that you find your forever friends, and that they realize how lucky they are to have someone like you in their life.

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…

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.
