Springtime on college campuses is always busy. From projects to club meetings, students are constantly running from building to building working to get to the end of the semester.

For seniors, that end of the semester stress is multiplied by 1,000. They're done in a couple of months. Not done until August, but fully complete with their degrees.

I'm not ready for my senior friends to graduate. It is completely different than when your senior friends graduated high school.

When your senior friends graduated high school, it was sad. You wouldn't be seeing some of your best friends on a daily basis, but there was always coming home for breaks from college. Most of your graduating class (or their parents) still live in your hometown. There's always a chance that you will see an old friend at your local grocery store.

But when your senior college friends graduate, it's a whole new, big world.

Your friends that you met at college came from all over the place. Your college is your shared commonplace. Without it, what is the likelihood that you would have met?

True friends will stay in contact even if they're halfway across the country working while you are still stuck on campus waiting for graduation.

Hopefully, for you and your friends, graduation doesn't mean "Goodbye" but instead "See you later."

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

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.

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…

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.
