A Reflection on Soulmates

Let me start of by saying this particular article is "Sex and the City" inspired, and yes, I cried during the episode which has led me to write this. I want to reflect on the ideas about soulmates, do we each only have one and live by trial and error to find him/her? Or do we have multiple soulmates and are given many chances to live our happily ever after?

I feel that we all have more than one soul mate, however, one is to fall in love with whereas the others are friends. With this, I feel like I have met my soulmates in college, and maybe one from high school. Let's start with high school. There is a guy who I have been friends with almost my whole time in high school. When he graduated, I still texted him often and now we go to the same college (and are in a few classes together). He is the longest friendship I have had, considering that the few friends I maintained throughout high school are just likes on Facebook or a "Happy Birthday" post away. I feel that he could be my soul mate, as someone who is good for my soul. With the way he treats me, he is more of a father figure than anything else.

My best friends in college may also be my soulmates. To think, a huge part of me went to high school with me, another part of me hours away in North Carolina, and the third part all the way from Texas. I may be wrong with my soulmates, like it is in the first question, hitting people by trial and error. However, these two women and my father figure have impacted my life greatly and for the better. They have shown me that I can keep friends through the crazy mess I am. A motherly wisdom from my soul in Texas, beautiful, blonde, strong both physically and mentally. An aggressive personality from my soul lost hours away in NC, loud, can cook meals beautifully, quick to anger and can throw most across the room. We all became friends instantly. Not all friendships are perfect, but we are all perfect together.

Who knows, maybe I have soulmates musically. If so, I would be happy to say K. Michelle is my soul mate, a woman who has helped me through her music. The simple love of R&B with the sound of her voice, I cannot express how in touch I am with multiple songs, many being with how I view myself and my troubles with finding love. You, reader, may not resonate to each song like I do, but she has given a great hope I cannot help but to believe wholeheartedly in.

I cannot go to say I have multiple soulmates without the hope of finding a man who will love me the way I should love myself. Hopefully the trial and error to find him does not leave my heart more fragmented that it already is. My heart is saying "He is out there. Your dreams of starting a family and having kids are coming into place. God has set that plan into motion." My only fear is, can my crazy subside until he gets to me?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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.

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.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
