A Letter To The Kids I Get To Nanny
Caroline Williams

To the kids I am so lucky to get to nanny,

I know our time together won’t last forever, which makes even the hard days a little easier. I am incredibly blessed that God allowed our lives to intertwine, and I’ll hold your sweet love in my heart forever. Mornings where I walk through the door and you come running, calling my name, will be a memory I keep in my heart forever. Although I know I am nowhere near ready to have children, I am so thankful I get to have an impact in your life.

While I have taught you many things, like how to play Red Light Green Light, or which is your left and right, you have taught me so much more. Without you, I would have never learned about every dinosaur that walked the planet, I wouldn’t be able to recite every word to "Rio 2." But more importantly, I have been reminded of how having a kind heart is an amazing quality, and being able to forgive someone no matter how many times they hit you or are mean to you is important. I am continually impressed with the creativity and imagination that always shines through when we play games; if it’s Transformers or hide-and-seek, there is always something new and exciting that you come up with.

Thank you for loving me so much even though I make you say please, or don't let you hit your brother. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family. Thank you for always giving me a big squeeze hug, Eskimo kisses and always letting me tickle you. Thank you for allowing me to learn and love in ways i never have before.

As the summer comes to an end, I know that getting to see you so often is also coming to an end. It is so bittersweet, I am already looking forward to getting to come play again next summer. I can only imagine how much you will change and grow over these next few months.

“I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck,”

Your forever grateful nanny

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:

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.

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.
