13 Words Of Wisdom From The Youngest Generation
Megan Bishop

Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by younger kids than myself. It only seemed right, with having two younger sisters and many younger cousins, to work in a daycare as my first job in high school. Working in a daycare has its many ups and downs, but my favorite part about working with the kids is hearing what they have to say.

Kids are extremely straightforward, which can be both good and bad. They will never sugar coat anything, so the advice they give can be very useful in some instances. Without further ado, here are some of the best words of wisdom from the daycare kids and my own sisters.

1. "Here's a police car for you to play with!" "That's a Jeep."

police

Labels are EVERYTHING when you're little. There's a clear difference between a police car and a Jeep.

2. "I'm gonna eat like you when I'm big. Mommy won't let me eat chicken nuggets everyday."

Oh, sweetheart, you do NOT want to eat this way. Learn from my mistakes.

3. "Sissy, I wanna watch the b****!"

grinch

My sister meant "The Grinch," but could only say the opposite for some reason. It was pretty hilarious until someone corrected her.

4. "Who's your favorite princess?" "Me."

Sometimes we need the reminder that princesses don't always wear dresses and tiaras - we can find them within ourselves.

5. "This is a song about when Paw Patrol met a frog and they all became best friends."

piano

After this, the little girl banged out an aggressive tune on the piano. It was the bop of the century.

6. "Wait...you have a mommy and a daddy too?!"

I know, it's surprising that the "teachers" have parents who tell them what to do too.

7. "I always wanted Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia to be together."

no

After being told they were, in fact, siblings and couldn't be together, the response was: "..So?"

8. "Good job, you're not coloring over the lines!"

It's the little accomplishments that mean the most.

9. "Time to watch Lady and the Pimp!"

lady and the tramp

"Lady and the Tramp" was a favorite in our house, especially because of the way my sister pronounced the title.

10. "You're too old to not have a boyfriend."

Nothing like getting roasted by a 4-year old.

11. "Whoa, why are you here?"

apart of society

This is what I heard constantly if the kids from work saw me outside of our daycare. Apparently, working at a daycare also means living there too.

12. "Wow, you look so pretty today!" "I know, I'm very beautiful."

Positive self image and confidence that we can all take notes from.

13. "Someone wasn't making the right choices..."

box of shame

You'll always hear this phrase when another kid gets put in time-out. At least they recognize that the choices are bad!

Moral of the story, little kids give the best life advice out there.

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.
