Whether you are a teacher, nanny, babysitter, or just have relatives and friends with children, you probably can relate to some of these.

1. Leggings are your go-to.

Nobody has time for jeans. Comfy clothes all the way.

2.“Why?” is your least favorite word.

EVERYTHING is “Why?”.

Can we get your shoes on? “Why?”

We are going out. "Why?”

To go to the store. “Why?”

To get food. “Why?”

For dinner. “Why?”

Pretty soon you just give up.

3. You LOVE kids movies.

Anything Disney or Pixar you are all about it. You obsess over it just as much as the kiddos do.

4. Coffee.

Dunkin' and Starbucks might as well just hook you up to an I.V.

5. You're creative.

Um, yes you spend all your free time in a Michael’s or Target digging through the sales bins. Crafting isn’t cheap.

6. You basically have the appetite of a child.

Macaroni and cheese? Yum! Chicken nuggets? Dino shapes, please. No matter what they are having, you're probably enjoying it too.

7. You’ve experienced and handled a new level of mess.

You know a little one can rummage through their toy bins and have the floor sporadically covered in under two minutes. No big deal—you’re a pro at this.

8. You're naturally positive.

A million things could be going wrong, but you’re always there for your little ones. If you’re happy, it can help make them happy, and you know it.

9. Bodily fluids don't scare you.

You’ve handled your fair share of diaper explosions, nose bleeds, boogers, bathroom accidents, and vomiting—you might as well be a simplified nurse.

10. You’re referred to as the "Baby Whisperer."

You’re the one everyone looks to as the professional. You know all the facts, methods, and philosophies. When in doubt they call you up for assistance, and you always know the right thing to say. You’re practically their personal Mary Poppins.

11. More often than not, your car is cluttered.

Car seats, toys, books, snacks, you name it—it's in there. Oh, and don’t forget the Disney playlist jams.

12. Some days you just want to throw temper tantrums with them.

You know what days I’m talking about.

13. Nap time is the best time.

Nothing tops nap time.

14. The terrible twos? Try the terrible threes, fours...fives...

It doesn’t stop.

15. Play time.

Dolls, blocks, and everything in between. You can jump right in and know your role.

16. Schedules are everything to you.

Planners and agendas make you happy. When things go off the schedule, it may get a little crazy.

17. Your sense of humor is phenomenal.

Let's face it, it has to be for this line of work.

18. There are some days you’re extra thrilled these little ones are not coming home with you.

You love them like they are your own, but you cherish your “me time.”

19. Fridays are the best days.

Because weekends are even more special to you.

20. Snuggles.

It makes everything all worth it in the end.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
