Telltale Signs You Are Dating A CS Major
grousenestblog.com

Computer science majors are a unique breed. They have a love and understanding for technology that completely confounds the average civilian. Being quite technologically challenged myself, I have found that dating a CS major has its perks and surprises. There is much entertainment and confusion to get out of dating a CS major, especially when they heatedly talk about their favorite subject: computer science. The following is a list of signs to know that you are dating a CS major.

1. Can find things on the internet that you never dreamed possible.

2. Can run diagnostics on your computer.

3. Teaches you tips and tricks to navigating your computer.

4. Knows "languages" that you didn't know existed.

5. Hates using poorly made websites, especially when they could do a better job designing one.

6. Gets easily excited about software, databases, computer graphics, and generally anything computer science-related.

7. Often starts spouting off computer science facts that no one else in the room can follow.

8. Has homework that involves making pretty pictures and animating them. You thought only kindergartners drew pretty pictures for school. Now you are jealous of kindergartners and your significant other.

9. Owns the best apps and programs that you were not even aware existed.

10. Tends to nerd out over things, and it's adorable.

11. Is not concerned about their future career; CS majors have a life plan with a sea of opportunities awaiting them after graduation.

12. Lastly, you may be dating a CS major if you have no clue what they are talking about half the time they tell you about their chosen field. Is it computer "science" or voodoo? You'll never know for certain.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
