15 Things You Can Relate To If You've Ever Been A Nanny
Emily Schroeder

1. You always have a snack of some kind with you.

Are they for the kids or are they for you...

2. There's always a booster seat of some sort in your back seat.

You kinda laugh when your friends get in cause someone is either going to have to sit in in or move it.

3. Finding random legos or fast food meal toys in your purse or car regularly.

Or trash, or action figures, or

4. You've accepted the fact that every move you make is questioned by a small human.

You can't even chew with your mouth closed and you're trying to tell me I should clean my car. HAHA ok

5. Going to the pool is just as fun for you as it is for the kids.

Time to relax AND the kiddo gets out all their energy.

6. Being called a babysitter is the most annoying misconception there is.

"Oh you're over 20 and you babysit a lot" NO NO NO. no.

7. Or when people try to tell you your job isn't REALLY a job.

Ummm excuse you?

8. NOTHING beats when a tiny human calls you beautiful.

UGH my heart.

9. You know way too much about current kids cartoons

No seriously, Paw Patrol? That's a good show.

10. You find yourself relating to an unusual amount of Facebook parent videos.

# relatable

11. You've mastered the art of whipping up mac n cheese.

When you have a hungry mini human and not a lot of time mac n cheese is where it's at.

12. Using the phrase "Sorry I haven't had an adult conversation yet today."

Trust me, having an intelligent conversation is highly underrated.

13. If you hear silence lasting longer than 15 seconds you start to get worried.

..ooohhhhh no

14. You're pretty sure whoever came up with the question "why" should be slapped.

Because at a certain point things just can't be explained!

15. You have awkward moments where you continue to realize one of your best friend's is an 8 year old.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
