The Best Part About Sitting at The Kids Table

We've all been there, literally, we have all sat at the kids table at one point in our life. That main part usually being when we are kids, however my husband and I seem to always find our way to the kids table and have Holiday dinners with the youngest munchkins of the family.

It's really not that bad, no really the kids are fun to talk to and they don't ask too difficult of questions. Mostly things like how old are you and why are you sitting with us. It's not questions like when are you two going to have kids or have you been looking for a job in your field? Why can't you seem to find one?

Kids are sweet, sometimes they are a handful and sometimes you feel like you're going crazy because you can't really have an adult conversation with them. But it's a breath of fresh air and brings me back to a simpler time of worrying about the elf on the shelf or how many more bites do I have to take until I can eat dessert.

Moving on with the conversation specifically. I've been working with children up close and personal since September now and it has really helped me connect more with the children in my family. There is a certain type of conversation that is held when talking to kids, especially the younger ones. They want to tell you everything but they also want to know everything from you and what is going on in your life. End of story, Holidays are great and sitting at the kids table is pretty great too. I sit at the kids table every day at work so I guess I'm pretty prepared for the Holidays!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
