Ahh finals week, the worst time of the year. Crack open your books and prepare to have a complete and total meltdown because a week of hell is coming your way.

1.You procrastinate then realize you screwed yourself over

During dead week you say, “it’s fine my finals are not for another week” and so you can justify being the lazy creature you are. However, when finals week rolls around it dawns on you that you have not prepared in the least and that fact makes you want to cry and rip your hair out at the same time. Why do you do this to yourself? Why?

2. You spend a nauseating amount of time at the library

Due to the fact that you haven’t studied at all before this week, you now have to start cramming. The people at the tables around you come and go but you’re nowhere close to being prepared. If you have to sit here for another minute you might throw a book at someone’s head.

3. Sleep is no longer a word in your vocabulary

What is sleep? You have no idea the last time you have had more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep. Caffeine runs your life and you feel as if you’re in a time warp. What day is it again?

4. You become completely delusional

Caffeine + no sleep + hours staring at the same page of notes= admission into a mental institution. You don’t know exactly why you’re crying but tears seem to be rolling uncontrollably from your eyes. Now you’re laughing because you think it’s so ridiculous that you’re crying at absolutely nothing. What is happening to you? Pull yourself together.

5. Everything starts to annoy you

That girl in the library that won’t stop sniffing, the guy who refuses to quit tapping his pencil. Every fiber of your being wants to punch them in their annoying faces. You have to remember this is just finals week talking. It’s going to be fine, just breathe. Punch your roommate instead.

6. You feel like death itself

At this point, you are a walking zombie. The bags around your eyes are the size of Texas and you are a slight shade of green. Finals week is almost over, you can see the finish line but are struggling to get there.

7. The week is finally over and you feel like you've been through the war

This week has been so stressful and overwhelming that you just want to melt into a tiny puddle of tears. At the same time you want to celebrate because you have successfully made it through hell and back. Break is here and finally, you can sleep.

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.
