6 Things You Should Know BEFORE You Date A Babysitter, But You'll Find Out Soon Enough Either Way

I've been a babysitter since for about 4 years now, and my life has forever changed. There are certain things that people who date babysitters should know before getting into a relationship with a babysitter.

1. If you need something, I probably have it.

Need a band-aid? Ibuprofen? Gum? Candy? Whatever you need, we more than likely have it on us, in our purse, or in our car. If being a babysitter has taught us anything, it's how to be prepared.

2. If I see a kid in public, expect me to react.

I spend a majority of my time with tiny humans, so when I'm out in public without the tiny humans, expect an "Awww" or "Oh my goodness, that's a cute baby."

3. We don't want to talk about the superficial stuff.

Because we spend our day having conversations like "What do you want for lunch?" and "Do you need to potty?" so don't ask the superficial questions. Ask us about our beliefs and what we thinking about certain topics. Give me all the deep conversations.

4. I know what I want and I won't settle for anything less.

I'm a very busy girl and I don't have much time to waste on relationships that we don't see a future with.

5. I rarely dress up, because I'm rarely around adults.

If I put makeup on, fix my hair, and put on jeans to go somewhere with you, consider yourself lucky.

6. I love my job with my whole heart.

Don't be surprised if we're out to eat and I start showing you millions of pictures of my tiny humans. I spend more time with them than anyone else and they become my mini best friends. No matter what, I'll always be a babysitter, deep down, and those tiny humans will always be my little besties.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
