Things To Do If You Aren’t Traveling Over Spring Break

  1. Catch up with your friends from High School

Even if you didn't go out of state for college, there's still no way you had time to keep in perfect touch with your friends from home. Spring break is the perfect time to catch up with them and form a deeper friendship that only comes with spending long periods of time apart.

2. Workout

It can be hard to start a workout plan in our busy lives, but if you have free time over spring break now is the perfect time! Start out small and by the end of the week find a set routine that you feel comfortable carrying out when you go back to school.

3. Go on a day trip to somewhere in your state

In Oklahoma, a popular day trip is to the Wichita Mountains. There you can hike, swim in the streams, eat delicious foods, and see wild bison. Wherever you are, there are places close by that you have yet to explore. My advice is to hop in the car, roll the windows down and see where the day takes you.

4. Plan

As someone who is very busy and can easily be stressed, I find that making schedules are very helpful for time management. Write down all of the upcoming events on a calendar that is easily accessed. Also, write down all of your upcoming tests and project due dates in a planner. This will help you to be organized and prepared for everything college throws at you.

5. Get Outside

Whether it's riding your bike around a local lake or getting some sun at the pool, being outside is sure to brighten your mood. Spending all day looking at social media and seeing people at the beach or skiing will only put you in a funk. Appreciate the place you in and learn to have fun with the company you have instead of the Instagram picture potential of the place you're in.

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.
