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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
