Thank You For Coming In My Life

The best friendships are the ones you never saw coming

To the best friend I didn't see coming...
I'm a strong believer in whatever happens is meant to be for some reason. You might not like the reason or understand it, but there is always a reason. There's a reason that my one of my friends before you stabbed me in the back. The reason all of that happened is because without that we would have never became the friends that we are today. So, for that reason I'm okay with it. I believe people are placed in your life for a reason. They are placed there for a season or a lifetime. I also believe you kinda get to decide which it will be but friendship is a two way street and takes work from both people.
I prayed for a best friend who would understand me. Someone I could count on. Someone who would have my back no matter what time or day it is and no matter the situation, and thats exactly what I was blessed with when you walked into my life.
When I first met you it was 2012 we were in 8th grade and we were in key boarding together. We became friends, went to a all night skating but never got SUPER close. We had a few ups and down but all together you are the most level headed person I know. LOL
Here's a few things I should proabably thank you for:
Thank you for texting me to remind me when things are due. (I have short term memory lost)
Thank you for reminding me constantly that I deserve better than that guy i've been hung up on.
Thank you for understanding when I still stay with him.
Thank you for riding with me to football games every friday night. (yes even the ones that are almost in North Carolina)
Thank you for loving my family as much as I do.
Thank you for allowing me to love yours too!
Thank you for agreeing to binge watch Greys Anatomy with me.
Thank you for never judging me.
Thank you for randomly reminding me how much I mean to you.
Thank you for never leaving me alone even when I ask you too.
Thank you for pushing me to NOT break my diet but allowing me to when I really need it.
You are the most understanding, honest, loving, trustworthy, hardworking person I have ever met. I'm beyond blessed to call you my bestfriend. I can't wait to make many more memories with you.
I love you,
Your forever friend

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.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

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.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

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…

11 Things You Should Never Say To A Puerto Rican

Don't Be That Person

Bowling Green State University

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.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3113

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.
