You've been together for so long. It's great. And as the time spent in your relationship grows, you hit certain milestones where you know it's real. These can be make-or-break moments, or just little things where you finally realize that you're both doing it. Everybody hits these milestones, no matter how long it takes; they're inevitable.

You know you've made it when you hit these long-term relationship milestones.

So. Many. Inside. Jokes.

You can't help it--once you have spent that much time with somebody, you're bound to have jokes just between the two of you.

Selfie masters

You now have more photos together than you do apart. Your entire camera roll is photos of the two of you.

What's personal hygiene?

You've gone past the point of no return: no makeup, sweatpants, maybe your hair is unwashed? But it doesn't matter, because you're comfortable with your significant other.

Knowing what to order

You know exactly what to order them when they want food--and they'll do the same for you. You know their order like the back of your hand, and it's secondhand nature now when you pull into the drive-through.

Caring for hobbies

It begins when you start to genuinely care about their hobbies and favorite things. You're truly enjoying what they enjoy while you're with them.

Offend who?

You two know you're just joking around, but to others, you sound like you hate each other. It's just a weird way of showing affection, I promise.

Deep conversations

You know you're truly close with someone once you can have deep conversations without it being weird. Hitting these pretty much means there's no going back now.

Who pays?

One of you can't go on paying for the other for the rest of your lives (and, come on, it's 2016). Splitting bills or taking turns paying for dates or food is a good sign--everything is fair, and there's no feeling awkward about money.

Becoming a two-for-one package deal

If you're alone, people start asking where your S.O. is, and vice versa. You go everywhere together when you can--and there's nothing wrong with that.

Bodily functions

Being comfortable with another person means a lot of things: you can talk to them without fear of being judged, and you can also hear them fart around you.

You can be weird

There's no stopping you now--once the weird has been unleashed, there is absolutely no way to put it back.

Code words

Is what you're speaking even English anymore? Although, as long as the two of you know what a word means, does it even matter?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

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.
