Love, you are the one who I think about every night before I go to sleep. Love, love, lovely love! I imagine your beautiful soul laying in your bed at night in a time zone far ahead of mine, but all I do is wonder what you think about as you sleep? Do you dream of me too? Do you dream of me curled up to you sleeping at night with my small fingers pressed against your chest? Do you dream of me rubbing your back so you can comfortably close your beautiful eyes? Do you want to be held? I want to be held and wrapped around your snuggly arms. You are so handsome when you sleep, but even more of a dream when you are awake.


Love is powerful! It AWAKENS our very essence in the middle of the night as the thought of our longing for our other half races through our minds. And if our love happens to lay beside us, we comfortably go back to sleep, knowing that they are safe and sleeping right next to us.


Love is powerful! It allows us to DREAM without awakening us. It makes us dream of a beautiful future together or a wonderful moment we shared together in each other's arms. We think of their smile, laugh and even that one strand of hair pressed against their forehead on a blissful summer day. And when we think of these moments, we are the ones smiling in our sleep, even if our faces are pressed against our pillows as we drool in the middle of the night. We admire the love we have; we think of the love we will always have even if this person's physicality is not in the same location as our very own.

Cuddling is one of the most romantic, but innocent things to share with our romantic partner. It does not cost a single penny to cuddle our loved one. So when we have a moment, instead of going out with friends who we just met in our chemistry class (who we won't even talk to after the class), we should spend time loving the one's who absolutely love us. Spend a night at home even watching a movie, having a deep conversation or simply lying on the couch cuddling the ones we love. It does not have to be a romantic partner. This being can be a mother, father, sibling, grandparent or even your dog. But we should dream of love, cuddle our love and witness what love has to offer.

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.
