When I Was Lost, You Were My Sun, And I Have To Thank You For That

I love you from the bottom of my heart and when I was lost you helped me be me.

I remember the first time I saw you. I didn't know your name, although I really wanted to. You didn't know who I was (or so I thought), but one thing was for sure: That what would come out of the summer of 2017 was something I would hold in my heart forever. I went into the summer thinking I was only going to focus on the end goal which was getting better at my craft. Two weeks in you caught my eye, to be more specific the trees on your arm and the little mustache you had going on.

I was so nervous to talk to you, so that's why Tam gave me a helping hand. I don't really know why I was so nervous. Maybe because I knew I you were different from me and I wanted you to like me. Anyway, we started talking and I realized we were not that different at all, it was the opposite we would both rather do nothing all day and that was the winning ticket for me, but I knew the long distance was going to be the greatest challenge.

I want to thank you for always being so opened and silly with me, the way you and I make music is something I will never forget. I have never had this much freedom to be myself and really let anyone plant seeds in my heart. I am thankful that you keep watering my garden and don't let my flowers wilt or grow weeds.

I know times get rough between us and when we I am on the edge somehow you always find a way of grabbing my had and telling me it will all be ok. This is what relationships need to have when one person is uneasy the other needs to know when it's time to give reassurance. I am grateful that you are my sun and always manage to shine through the gloomiest of days.

There aren't enough words in this world that can describe how many roots you have grown in me. There is not a single word that can describe the way I feel when I am with you and in a strange way, I believe that this feels right. I love the way you sleep and how peaceful you look, I sometimes thank whatever power is out there for putting such a beautiful work of art in front of me.

I know we are all scared of letting someone in, but if we don't allow ourselves to be vulnerable how will we ever feel what love is supposed to feel like. I know it's very hard to describe what love feels like but my interpretation goes like this: You can't imagine your life without them, it feels wrong seeing yourself with another person, you feel tremendous appreciation and protection towards them. The most important one, your heart flutters every time you see them and hear their name.

There are not enough words that I can compile together to express my love for you but one thing is for sure, I will always make sure you know what a big part of my world you are.

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.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

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.
