I am going to talk about something real, something that all of us do and something some of us do too much. That would be crying because I am about to do it because there are just too many things floating around in my head to think about writing about them. But why not sometimes it makes us feel better, and sometimes it makes us feel worse. We do it at sad movies, we do it when our hearts get broken, heck a lot of us do it when we're just so angry we cry.

Honestly, it is a very important thing. Some consider it as a sign of weakness which is a possibility, but I believe it can be a sign of strength as well, just sometimes you can't take it anymore and you have to break down and cry.... or yah know your eyes were really dry or it's the dust or something. It is actually known as a natural way to reduce emotional stress. We all know we have that and if you don't you must have your stuff together, props to you! If you don't cry out your emotions you could die, Nah I'm just kidding that is not a known fact I mean yes that could happen, but it is well known that if you hold in those emotions you can become unhealthy.

There are probably more stress-related disorders than I could even name, which is common sense, if you don't let out your emotions in some way and let them bottle up, you will most likely explode one day. So grab a bottle of wine and you freaking whine like the crybaby you are.. and who cares freaking cry if you wanna cry. We are only human, plus God wouldn't have made it a thing if we weren't supposed to do it. I don't know if you knew but crying can actually lower our blood pressure, you are also releasing toxins when you cry. In other words, tears help you eliminate chemicals that build up during emotional stress which can wreak havoc on the body. Guess I know what I am doing for the rest of my life, getting those toxins out... excuses I know. This may be totally stupid an article about tears and crying but honestly why not, not everyone has family or anyone to spend the holidays with. So don't be ashamed if you spend it crying because it's not that bad.

Be thankful for all that you do have, and cry your sadness away. It is what makes us human... literally out of all the mammals human are the only ones that can shed tears in response to emotional stress. it is us acknowledging our feelings and reacting to them hopefully so we. become motivated to do something about these feelings. So next time you are about to have a mental breakdown take the time go in your car or wherever and freaking cry. Next time you are sitting down with your partner don't be afraid to cry. I should be encouraging you not to cry because life could be worse...but not today, I am saying cry if you wanna cry!!!

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…

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.
