Time to Make a Move

Stop stopping yourself from bettering yourself

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in situations in which we question why we’re still there. We’re not happy, we wonder when it will change, or if it even will. Maybe the same dead end boring, job that you question every morning when your alarm goes off. Maybe when you spend time with someone that used to make your heart flutter, and maybe always seeing the same trees and houses and people when you go anywhere. Our friends aren't as good as what they used to be. They belittle something you do and have ended up just not being friends. If you are questioning anything you are doing or just dreading the time spent doing such, leave. Just go.

Leave the job that is draining your happy and energy. Finding something that may be something you’ve always had a slight interest in, or try something completely new. Don’t be afraid of falling, because that’s a part of learning. We all stumble when tackling something new that our bodies aren’t used to doing, and it’s normal to be afraid. Just know the difference between real fear and the fear of doing something new. The adrenaline of walking into a new job and meeting new people. Waking up ready to go to work and deal with whatever it is that you’ll have to do that way. Whether you want a change in people, work, or money, I am begging you to just do it.

If you are no longer happy to spend time with someone that used to make you smile over the simplest things, then analyze the issue. If you’re not happy, you’re just not. And it may not be anyone’s fault. We can get bored and that means that maybe they aren’t the i person you thought you wanted or needed. You have no obligation to stay where you don’t want to be, whether that be a place or a person. They may not understand your reasons or think that you’re confused, but leave. Take the time to just be yourself by yourself. You’ll probably end up happier than you were lying next to someone and wondering what happened.

If the view out your window isn’t what you want to see, change it. Look at tickets to some of the places you’ve always wanted to visit or move to. Look at job openings and set up interviews. Look at housing options and how much money you’ve got or need to pick up and leave. Buy a school bus and transform it into a rv. Travel the world or states. Breath all the different air and see all the different trees. I promise you that the pine trees in Pennsylvania are different from the pine trees in Alaska., no matter what someone might tell you. Spread your wings, I’ll be cheering you on the whole way.

We need to realize that life is too short to stay where you’re not happy. And sometimes you can’t chase what you think will bring you happiness. Just go, and maybe you’ll find it on the way. We’ve all got to pull our pants up and go do the things we’re afraid to or people tell us not to. Find a job that you love and want to do every day instead of one that makes you miserable and you stay at because it pays the bills. Love yourself first, then worry about loving someone else. Listen to your head and heart because I guarantee that you’ll find a middle ground. Take a chance and some time for yourself and buy the plane ticket. Run away for a couple days, a week, or make running away your dream and live it. There will always be people telling you that your silly and you can’t live in a dream world. Guess who those people are? They’re the ones that people don’t know. People aren’t talking about the awesome, daring things that they’re doing, because they’re not. Just like they you not to do it, they told themselves the same thing. We’ve all got dreams and we may as well try and live them before it’s too late.

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.
