20 Things I Will Definitely Need By The Time I’m 24 (That AREN’T A Nanny)

Take notes, Corinne.

Winter break was long.

Like, long enough that I got uncomfortably familiar with daytime television and had depressingly limited interaction with people my own age.

So naturally, I got pretty good at doing lazy-college-kid-on-break things instead. Like not making my bed, having my parents make dinner, etc.

Can’t complain.

But now that I’m back at school, I have to re-train myself to do big girl stuff again.

#NotReady.

Don’t get me wrong, I was elated to get back to school. But after being at home for so long, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to have someone else make my bed and do my laundry and cook my food year-round.

24-year-old Bachelor contestant Corinne Olympios doesn’t have to wonder.

Meet Raquel.

AKA: Corinne’s nanny who “literally does everything” for her (think: cutting her cucumbers into fours) and never allows Corinne to “do big girl stuff” (think: washing spoons, making the bed, etc…).

Because, “It makes her happy!”

Of course it does.

Oh, and this is all thanks to Corinne’s share in her own multi-million dollar business (because Bachelor contestants are normal, just like us).

Which is why when we hear Corinne say things like, “This was the worst day of my life” after Nick was reluctant to lick whipped cream off her bare chest on national television, we couldn’t help but say, “Then you’ve got it good, girl.”

Okay, so I may not actually be 24 yet.

And I also don’t know what it’s like to be a Bachelor contestant. Or own a multi-million dollar business.

But even if I did, I can think of a few things that would be more reasonable for me to own by the time I’m 24 than a nanny who turns my lunch into a geometry puzzle and makes me forget how to use my own utensils.

1. A 1lb bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows

No one likes the other stuff anyway.

2. An emergency inflatable rubber chicken

Only for emergencies.

3. Goosh pants

Are you as ready for Halloween 2k17 as I am?

4. Glow-in-the-dark toilet paper

You can’t tell me there’s a worse experience than getting up in the middle of the night to pee and having to turn the bathroom light on.

5. A Nicolas Cage pillowcase

We could all use a little more Nick Cage in our lives.

6. A yodeling pickle

But mom, it’s only $12 on Amazon. And I have Prime!

7. Handerpants

What’s the point of buying cute underwear if you can’t show it off?

8. Unicorn meat


I refuse to be the one who misses out on the new diet trend.

9. A potty putter


To go along with my glow-in-the-dark TP.

10. An old Asian man wall decal

You're just taking FatHeads to a whole new level...

11. A 3-foot Kramer poster


For all my future home décor needs.

12. 55 gallons of lube

Don’t you think you should at least take me out to dinner first?

13. A levitating tree

For serenity.

14. Pot for pets

#LegalizeMarijuana2k17

15. A pussy magnet

Chill out, you sicko.

16. 1,500 live ladybugs

Yeah, so?

17. Brutally honest coasters

Gotta impress the house guests.

18. Badonkadonk land cruiser

At the ridiculously low price of $20,000!

19. Five $2 bills

Somehow I think paying the low price of $12.99 to be the proud owner of $10 makes me more respectable than having a nanny who "cuts my cucumbers and my, like, vegetable slices for lunch” every day.

Or, if you’re Corinne and you’re 24 and you do have a nanny and a multi-million dollar company, maybe you should consider purchasing this:

20. Nothing.


Because WTF else do you need?

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

130362

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
