Why Would You Steal Packages?

My rental textbook package was stolen.

I am going on a rage-filled rant. Apparently, my rental textbook from Amazon was stolen.

I know the risk of having packages delivered and the potential of someone stealing them. I think everyone that goes online is aware of the danger with constant news, articles, and videos of people stealing packages. That doesn’t stop us from buying things online, it is just part of society now. The difference is that people take precautions to prevent their packages from getting stolen. That’s the real kicker in my case, my roommate was even at home. The package wasn’t sitting out there for days or something like that. My roommate only left once to run an errand. I just don’t understand, why would you want to steal my package? I hope you are happy with a science textbook and not some fancy clothes or expensive electronics.

Now I have to pay around $200 to buy the dang book because it was a rental. I didn’t have that kind of extra money which is why I rented the textbook in the first place and I don’t even actually get the freaking book. Oh, and I still need that book for class so thanks for that!

My roommate and I have things delivered to our place a lot. When I say a lot, I am not kidding, more than most people, think about once a week. The crazy part is that we have never had anything else stolen, some of our previous packages have sat on our doorstep for days (when we both leave for the weekend). I don’t know if it was because this one had an Amazon label on it which is more inviting than a generic Chinese label, whatever the case you suck.

I never understood why people stole packages when I heard it happening to other people, and now that it has happened to me I still don’t understand. You must have a special disregard for anyone else to be able to do that. I hope when you opened my package there was a huge feeling of disappointment when it was only a textbook.

This is the end of my rant, be good to each other out there.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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.
