10 Signs You Are A Preschool Teacher
BeechtreeHouse

From coming home smelling like poop, covered in paint, or finding glitter in places you didn't even know you had you wouldn't change anything. There is nothing more rewarding than teaching a child, or have a child love on you because they appreciate what you do for them. Being a teacher is an extremely important job, one that is not recognized, yet the ones who teach don't do it for recognition, they do it because they love it.

1. You come home just as dirty as the kids, if not more.

I have to keep a change of clean clothes in my cabinet just in case. I've come home covered in beans, poop, drool, or snot too many times. I mean, obviously you have to paint with them, or do water day with them so you are going to get dirty too. Oh, and don't even think about wearing clothes to work you plan on going on a date in later...tried that and ended up going home on break.

2. Your significant other or close friends hear countless stories about your class, and knows each kid by name.

Literally I'll be telling a story and he will stop me and say "Wait, John or Jack? Oh, and hold up did Sally's earache get better? I know you were worried."

3. You lay awake at night either worried about a child, or all you have to do.

Had a child go home sick? I lay in bed at night worried if they are still not feeling good. Worried about a child at home? Keeps me up at night. Need to change my bulletin board for the next season.. let me contemplate my 15 different color choices at 3:00 a.m.

4. During your free time at home, sitting in your car, etc. you are probably tracing, cutting, or coloring.

I just this week was waiting for a friend in my car who was running late. I thought it was the perfect time to trace and cut out the fish I've been needing to cut out. An old friend of mine from high school saw me, knocked on my window and said "Uh, aren't you about to be a senior in college?"

5. You head straight to the crafts/supplies in stores instead of clothes/shoes.

My boyfriend hates going shopping with me, and finds himself having to pull me out of the "back to school-teacher" section in Target.

6. You sometimes come home smelling like poop or covered in snot and your significant other doesn't mind.

And he somehow finds me attractive with or without being covered in bodily functions.

7. Your most played song on Spotify is "Wheels on the Bus."

Most suggested playlist? The Wiggles

8. Your Pinterest is full of craft ideas, and room themes.

Just started board six for them this week...

9. There aren't any pictures of you and your friends in your phone, just of your class.

via">http://giphy.com/gifs/luke-skywalker-rogue-one-and... GIPHY

They just are so cute, and I want to capture the moments...or laugh at their selfies.

10. You couldn't be happier, and come home smiling everyday with new stories to tell.

I wouldn't trade being a teacher for anything.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
