Things That Annoy Me

I was wanting to type a nice and positive article to start the new year, but this was what I came up with.

Things That Annoy Me

1.) Slow People: I hate people who walk slowly in front of me. I'm sorry, but this is unforgivable. I'm not asking for anyone to walk fast, I'm just saying walk with a purpose you know?

2.) Some Parents: Now I could talk about this one for a while, but I can sum it down into two scenarios where some parents annoy me the most. The first one being when parents refuse to control their kids in a public place. When kids are loud and obnoxious, I can almost deal with that in most situations. However, when parents are completely oblivious to the situation, and just allow it to continue without a care in the world, that's when I get annoyed. The second situation is kind of like the other side of the coin. This is when some parents blow up on their kids whenever the kids do something minimal. I saw this all the time at my lifeguard job. Parents would yell at their young kids when they did almost nothing wrong, and I would get quite frustrated at that.

3.) Bad Drivers: I don't often think that I am the type of person with road rage, but the more I think about it, I am that person. Bad drivers or oblivious drivers honestly make me so mad.

4.) Phone Notifications: I feel like I get notifications almost every waking second of the day. 90% of them I don't even acknowledge at this point.

5.) Moms On Social Media: Now this one I definitely will catch heat for, but moms on social media annoy me.

6.) People Who Have Conversations Over The Phone On Speaker: This I will never understand. Why does anyone feel the need to let everyone know what they are talking about? On top of that, the speakerphone is meant for hands-free use. Therefore, why would you put the phone on the speaker just to hold it next to your ear?

I apologize for the semi-negative post but, I feel like a lot of people can relate to some of these things. :)

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…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

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.

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.
