18 Signs You Are A Future Teacher

1. You tend to go a little crazy when it's time to buy new school supplies.


You know it, your mom knows it, everyone knows it, your paycheck especially knows it.

2. You get so pumped thinking about all the cute "teaching outfits" you're going to have.


You might even have a Pinterest board dedicated to it.

3. You spend a lot of time thinking about how you are going to decorate your future classroom.

You definitely have a Pinterest board dedicated to it.

4. Planners make you oddly happy.

I don't know if it's normal to get that excited about a new planner, but I really don't care.

5. You probably hate standardized testing and Common Core more than anybody else.

It really just shouldn't be a thing.

6. You will always love coloring.

You probably have a couple adult coloring books.

7. You have perfected your "Teacher Voice."

You already know you will have to be using it a lot. And you are so ready.

8. You've also mastered "The Look."

.

You know which one I'm talking about. The "you're doing something wrong and you better sit down right now" look.

9. Buying all of your school supplies before the first day brings you an odd amount of excitement.

From first grade to college, you will always be excited about buying new folders and notebooks.

10. You oddly really like the smell of dry erase or sharpie markers.

If you don't yet, you will eventually.

11. You are extremely patient.

I mean hey, if you're going to be with 20+ kids a day, five days a week, you're going to have to be.

12. Crafting

You either love it, or hate it.

13. When someone says teaching is "easy" you get ready to fight somebody.

I would love to see you take care of all of these kids buddy, tell me how easy teaching is after spending a week in my shoes.

14. You absolutely LOVE stickers.

Always have, always will.

15. You flip out when people say "those who can, do and those who can't, teach."

Seriously, are you trying to start a fight? Because I'm ready.

16. You get really excited about children's books.

Non teachers will never understand your love for Amelia Bedelia.

17. You rely on coffee to get you through the day.


Even more than most college students.

18. Sometimes you get a little scared thinking about how little money you will make.

But you know the money doesn't matter, because you're picking the right profession for you, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
