Perks Of Being A Nanny

You now have two families instead of just one.

Becoming a nanny is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never understood what it really meant to love another family like your own until I started nannying for my current family. From the years that I have been working for them, I have learned so much. There really is no better job than nannying.

1. You do extremely well at multitasking. Whether you're vacuuming the living room while holding the baby, or giving two kids a bath at the same time, you become an expert at doing multiple things at once.

2. You learn how to cook dinner. Before I was a nanny, I was used to coming home to a meal already cooked and on the table. However, I became the person who had to sometimes whip up a meal on the fly. I have gotten really good at making a dinner that all the kids will eat, including the pickiest eater.

3. You become an expert at breaking up arguments. When the kids start going at it with each other, someone's feelings are bound to get hurt. I have learned how to console one child while reprimanding another. I have also gained a lot of insight on what Barbies will cause the most arguments, so those Barbies have gone on "vacation."

4. Changing poopy diapers doesn't scare you anymore. When you're home with the baby and he has a massive explosion in his diaper, there is no one you can go to and ask them to take care of it. Not even the messiest or stinkiest diaper fazes me anymore. I feel like I can tackle any diaper.

5. You become part of another family. You become so close to the family, you practically become part of it. From being invited to parties and special day trips, you feel as though you now have two families instead of just one. This has to be the most rewarding part of nannying.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
