It seems like January has been a long month for a lot of people, but thankfully it's now February! A new month means that there is a whole new list of things to do and look forward from your first round of exams to celebrating Valentine's Day! To help you stay on track and enjoy your month of February, as well as stay on track with all your responsibilities, make sure to keep reading:

1. Organize your 'junk drawer.'

We all have one. This month set aside thirty minutes to go through your junk drawer. Throw away anything you don't need and organize everything you keep. You will be amazed at some of the things you find!

2. Host a "Galentine's" day party.

Gather some of your girlfriends and host a girl's night. Order pizza, put on your favorite rom-com, and enjoy a night dedicated to celebrating your friendship. These are the people that are by your side through thick and thin, and it is always a nice gesture to celebrate that every once in a while!


3. Finalize your spring break plans.

Spring break is next month and if you don't know what your plans are yet it is time to figure out what they are. Whether you are planning on spending a relaxing weekend back home or hitting up the beach somewhere with your friends it all requires a little planning on your part.

4. Buy fresh flowers.

Flowers brighten up a room, right? Stop by your local flower shop and pick up some of your favorites blossoms. February is a great time to start prepping for springtime, and what says springtime better than flowers?

5. Clean out your winter wardrobe.

Look back at all the things you did and didn't wear this past winter season. Start to slowly compile a list of the items you don't want anymore. If you live in a colder climate this is an opportunity to incorporate the clothing items you rediscovered before the cooler weather is gone!

6. Celebrate Valentine's Day.

It can be a romantic night out with your significant other, or you can go for less traditional evening. Maybe you even have a second "Galentine's" Day with your friends! Whatever you decide to do, spread some love around on February. We live in a world that could use a little more of that!

7. Set aside a study week.

It is likely you have your first round of exams this month. Set aside some time to dedicate strictly to your studies. It's no fun to cram the night before a test and it's been proven to be more beneficial to space out your study time. Create a schedule that works for you and don't procrastinate!

8. Bake something sweet.

Nobody can resistant some delicious cookies, homemade fudge, or ice cream! This would be a fun activity for your "Galentine's" Day party!

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.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

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.
